As of yet, there has been no mention mentions about buying regular season tickets via crypto. Additionally, the Texan’s website didn’t release the price of the single-game suite, instead is asking the customers to first submit an inquiry to secure one. However, sources have revealed that the price of a single-game suite ranges from $14,000 to $25,000. A BitWallet representative told Cointelegraph that the price may go as high as $40,000.
