Seahawks playoff tickets went on sale Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. and sold out in minutes.

The team tweeted 28 minutes after they went on sale that tickets were gone, but we’re betting they were picked up quicker than that.

The Seahawks say tickets were limited because season ticket holders get first dibs on the seats they have been sitting in all season.

The game on Jan. 11 at 1:35 p.m. in Seattle is against a yet unknown opponent.

The team will be decided next week and it will be either the Green Bay Packers, the San Francisco 49ers or the New Orleans Saints.

There are plenty of tickets available for the divisional playoff on the secondary market. Prices on Stub Hub range from $271.49 for standing room only in the upper reaches of CenturyLink Field above the end zone, to $4,650 for a Charter seat on the 50 yard line just off the field.

If the Seahawks win, they’ll host the NFC Championship the following week. Ticket prices on Stub Hub are already double the previous week’s game, with the least expensive seats currently listed for $550.
