A general view of Ford Field.
As the 2024 NFL season kicks off, fans feel the impact of shifting ticket prices, with some surprising trends emerging.
The Detroit Lions, fresh off their first NFC Championship Game appearance since 1992, have the highest average ticket price in the league at $254. This reflects the team’s resurgence and the growing excitement among fans eager to see if the Lions can sustain their momentum into the new season.
On the other end of the spectrum, the NFC South division offers fans the most affordable tickets in the league. The New Orleans Saints, in particular, have the lowest average ticket price, coming in at $43. Despite a competitive division, the lower prices may indicate the uncertainty surrounding the teams within the NFC South, as franchises continue to rebuild and contend in the post-Drew Brees and Tom Brady era.
International games, which have become a staple of the NFL calendar, are also impacting ticket prices. The average "get-in" price for these games is $293.78, 15.6% higher than the Lions’ top price. The premium on international tickets can be attributed to the unique experience they offer, with fans overseas eager to see live NFL action and willing to pay a premium for the opportunity.
Overall, the average ticket price for the 2024 season has seen a 9% increase compared to last year, amounting to an average get-in price of $131.82.
Most expensive and cheapest NFL games in 2024
Steelers fans are famous for showing up strong at away games and 2024 is no exception. Pittsburgh's October visit to Las Vegas is the most expensive game of the season, with tickets averaging $414. Their game against the Broncos in Denver, marking Russell Wilson's return, isn't far behind with a get-in price of $376.
Fans of the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers will be pleased to know their December 22 matchup has the lowest get-in price at just $18. In fact, the next five least expensive games also feature either the Cardinals or Panthers.
These ticket pricing trends highlight the shifting landscape of fan engagement. Whether it's the high demand for Lions games or the budget-friendly options in the NFC South, the season promises to be as unpredictable as the games themselves. Fans will be watching—and attending—every moment.
