NFL International game between Chiefs, Dolphins sells out in record time

Tickets for the Kansas City Chiefs versus Miami Dolphins game set for Germany on Nov. 5 sold out with Taylor Swift-like quickness on Tuesday.

Within 15 minutes of going live on Ticketmaster, the tickets for the event in Frankfurt Stadium sold out.

Hopeful attendees flocked to Ticketmaster for the 12 p.m. start time and within 15 minutes, there was a queue of over a million waiting to grab a seat.

Fans had to pre-register their interest in getting tickets for the game, but that didn’t guarantee a stub for one of the most highly-anticipated games on the 2023 NFL international game slate.

There is one more opportunity for NFL fans to get tickets to an NFL game in Germany.

Tickets will go live for the New England Patriots versus Indianapolis Colts game on July 17. There is a limit of four tickets per customer across both of the games in Germany.

It’s no surprise fans of the game were eager to queue up for tickets to see Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champs. They’re facing off against the Dolphins, which feature former Chiefs star Tyreek Hill. It’s an NFL game that promises points galore in a wholly unique atmosphere in Frankfurt.

“The confirmed matchups in Germany will make for two very exciting games for fans this November and we are delighted to be playing both games in Frankfurt, a city rich in NFL history and with a significant NFL fan following,” Dr. Alexander Steinforth, GM NFL Germany, said.

Five NFL games on 2023 international slate

This year’s international schedule features five games, including three that will feature five different teams playing in London and two games between four other teams in Germany.

Although the NFL also occasionally plays in Mexico, the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, which houses those games, is currently undergoing renovations.

The international slate features nine of the NFL’s 32 teams. It is nine teams, not 10, because the Jacksonville Jaguars will play two weeks in a row in London.

The Jaguars play the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium in Week 4, in what will be their landmark 10th regular season home game in London. Then, they take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. That game will be at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The following Sunday, October 15, the Tennessee Titans will play the Baltimore Ravens, also at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Super Bowl LVII Champion Kansas City Chiefs kick off the Germany leg of the international slate on November 5. They take on the Miami Dolphins at Frankfurt Stadium.

The following weekend, on November 12, the New England Patriots face the Indianapolis Colts, also at Frankfurt Stadium.
