I've been to several playoff games including an NFC Championship, all in Chicago late season weather. Every game but one, I bought the tickets while walking around the stadium, although it was a time before Stub Hub and ticket brokers, when more tickets were available outside the stadium. If you live near the stadium and don't want to pay broker prices, I'd try walking around and see if you can find someone with an extra. You never know. Prices seem to be lower than what you find with brokers and on Stub Hub.
My most memorable playoff game, was the Bears / Eagles in the fog....couldn't see a thing. The NFC Championship was bitter cold, my team the Bears, lost. Joe Montana blew them apart.
I'd say it's worth going at least once if you're a fan. Now that I've gotten older and have a 60" HD TV, the comforts of home are just fine with me.
