- Fact: the best NFL ticket sites can save you serious money—sometimes as much as 30–40%.
- Yet many fans still believe the myth: “All NFL ticket prices are the same.”
- It sounds logical, right? Like buying gasoline, tickets should cost the same no matter where you shop. But unlike gas—where prices only vary by 6–7%—ticket prices across different sites can differ by 30–40%. That’s the difference between a $200 seat and a $280 seat for the exact same game.
- This post compares 6 major NFL ticket resellers to reveal which platforms truly save fans the most money.
Why NFL Ticket Sites Don’t All Cost the Same
NFL tickets may look identical, but prices vary due to several factors:
- Supply: Sites with more season ticket holders listing seats usually offer lower prices.
- Hidden Fees (Past & Present):
- Historically, some resellers added service fees of 30–40% at checkout.
- As an additional insult, StubHub even tacked on an extra “fulfillment fee” of $5.95 (What b***s!).
- Thanks to the FTC ban on “bait-and-switch” pricing, that’s no longer an issue. Mind you, the fees are still there, baked into the list price. In reality, the only difference is that now, you know from the start how much the brokers will rob – er, charge you.
- Markup Strategies: Different platforms use different algorithms and broker relationships, leading to big price swings.
Bottom line: two sites can show you the same seat, but the final checkout price may be dramatically different.
