The only real drama for the Dallas Cowboys during the offseason has been settled, as star wide receiver Dez Bryant reached a five-year, $70 million deal with the team to be paired up with Tony Romo until he retires. Despite losing talented running back DeMarco Murray to the division rival Eagles, the Cowboys gear up for another run in the NFC led behind one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, giving them hope they can sustain similar success in the rushing game this season.
Since the Cowboys are trotting out a similar offense, the focus of the preseason is on the defense, which had its moments last season even with some injuries. With a fully healthy linebacker core (for now), the defense is looking to take a major step up that may result in the Cowboys reaching the NFC Championship game this season, a destination they narrowly missed out on a year ago thanks to some controversy in their final playoff game.
With anticipation rising due to the first NFL preseason game taking place over the weekend, below are the average prices on the secondary market for tickets to Cowboys games. The information is provided by SeatSmart.com.

The Cowboys travel to San Francisco for their most expensive preseason game. The 49ers are in the running for having one of the worst offseasons in NFL history after the recent dismissal of outside linebacker Aldon Smith, to go along with other team departures, coaching changes and early retirees. While it might rank as their highest-priced game leading up to the regular season, fans can still save money on their Levi’s Stadium parking at least, as ParkWhiz.com has spots available all around the area within close proximity at an affordable price.
The least expensive game is at AT&T Stadium where a Texas rivalry concludes the preseason schedule. Tickets to see the Houston Texans against the Cowboys have an average price of $69.73, with a shocking get-in price of just $3. There will not be a ton of action for the starters in the preseason finale, but in-state rivalries are always good television. The Cowboys’ other home affair is against the Minnesota Vikings, who won the first preseason game of the season this past Sunday when they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the annual Hall of Fame game.
To kick off their schedule, the Cowboys travel to San Diego to face Philip Rivers and the Chargers, which is yielding an average ticket price of $77.69 with a get-in price of $24.
