Ticket Pricing
Ticket Sample539,192 listingsAcross all 32 NFL teams and 272 Ticketmaster event pages.
Collection WindowJuly 27–August 2, 2026Ticket listings were captured during this seven-day research period.
Ticket TypesPrimary + Verified ResaleBoth listing types were included in the Ticketmaster sample.
Market ComparisonStubHub + SeatGeekComparison only to sense-check the Ticketmaster sample. Not included in the final rankings.
Ticket prices used in the ranking were collected from Ticketmaster. StubHub and SeatGeek were used only as secondary comparison points to help confirm that the Ticketmaster sample was broadly representative of the wider ticket market.
Ultra-premium and luxury packages, along with unusually low promotional listings, were removed to better reflect regular-season ticket prices a family could realistically encounter.
Food and Drink
Since official 2026 concession prices were not available consistently across all teams, 2025 figures were used as the baseline and adjusted using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI data to estimate 2026 costs.
Inflation SourceU.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPILatest available 12-month Consumer Price Index changes, through June 2026.

CPI adjustments were applied only to beer, soft drink and hot dog costs. 2026 ticket and parking prices were not inflation-adjusted.
Parking
Parking SourceVivid SeatsParking listings were collected across each team’s 2026 regular-season home games.
Games IncludedRegular Season OnlyPreseason games were excluded from the parking analysis.
Available parking listings were analysed for each regular-season home game. Atypical premium listings and extreme outliers were excluded before averaging across the home schedule to estimate a representative parking cost for each team.
Ranking Notes
The cheapest ranking orders teams from the lowest total to the highest, while the most expensive ranking reverses that order. The Jets and Giants, and the Rams and Chargers, remain separate because their ticket costs differ even though each pair shares a stadium. Child admission policies are shown as supporting information and do not alter the package total.
