Tickets to Brady's return to New England selling for up to $12K
The Week 4 matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots is already proving to be a hot item on the secondary ticket market.
Resale tickets to the Oct. 3 game at Gillette Stadium, which will be Tom Brady's first meeting against his old team since signing with the Bucs last offseason, are selling for as much as $12,000.

Cheapest prices for a pair of Bucs-Patriots tickets right now for Tom Brady's return to Foxboro in Week 4? $1,350 each on Ticketmaster, $1,150 on Stubhub, $1,135 on Seatgeek, $1,170 on Ticketcity. Pretty impressive for a regular-season game.

The game will also mark Rob Gronkowski's first time returning to New England since retiring from the NFL in 2019 and later joining Brady in Tampa Bay. It's possible Brady could break Drew Brees' career passing record that night too, ESPN's Jenna Laine notes.
The Patriots didn't allow fans inside Gillette Stadium last season but stated in a letter to season-ticket holders in February that they were "very optimistic" they would be able to reopen at full capacity for 2021.
