The NFL\u2019s fanbase has grown to an incredible size. In 2024, 123.4 million people<\/a> tuned in to watch the Super Bowl, making it the most watched TV program in U.S. history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to this huge market, today\u2019s Super Bowl tickets are not only harder to find, but far more expensive. In 2024, Super Bowl ticket prices climbed as high as $54,000 on Ticketmaster, with a reported average price on StubHub of $8,600<\/a> – a far cry from the $12 fans coughed up in 1967. So, how has the average price fared over the years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1960s and 1970s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The very first Super Bowl was called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game and was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1967. The average Super Bowl ticket price this year was $12. If adjusted for inflation, this number equals about $100 in today\u2019s money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1967 AFL-NFL World Championship Game was the only Super Bowl in history not to be sold out, but it was still a success. In the following two Super Bowls, tickets remained $12. Both games sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1970, the decision was made to increase the ticket price to $15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next price hike came in 1975. Fans paid an average of $20 to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers win their first Super Bowl. By the end of the 1970s, Super Bowl ticket prices rose to $30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1980s: Prices Rise Steadily <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the Super Bowl grew in popularity, the cost of tickets quickly increased. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Super Bowl XVIII, which was held in 1984, saw the average price of tickets climb from $40 to $60. The extra $20 was money well spent for Los Angeles Raiders fans, who watched their team trounce the Washington Redskins 38-9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Super Bowl XVIII was in Tampa back in 1984, a ticket to the Big Game cost only $60! Wouldn\u2019t that be nice if that was still the case?\ud83d\ude05 This is a replica of the 1984 ticket that can be found at the NFL Fan Experience at Julian B Lane Park.
