Football is America’s most popular sport, and the television ratings prove it. In 2019, ratings for NFL games rose 5% over 2018; an average of 16.5 million people watched each matchup. However, attendance in the regular season was down to an average of 66,648 fans, according to Sports Business Daily — the first time average attendance has dipped below 67,000 since 2010 and the lowest total mark since 2004.

Maybe that’s because the cost of attending an NFL game, like almost everything else, has risen steadily over the years. To discover how much more expensive the big game has become, GOBankingRates analyzed TicketCity data tracking the long-term changes in the price of a single ticket to the Super Bowl. The study also adjusted ticket costs for inflation so that you can get a more realistic sense of how prices have increased over the years.

Find out how much one ticket to the Super Bowl cost from when Vince Lombardi, Bart Starr and the Green Bay Packers claimed the first title in 1967 to when Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots won their sixth title in 2019 — and discover what the average ticket will cost you this year to see the San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV.

More From GOBankingRates

Methodology: GOBankingRates found the cost of attending every Super Bowl since 1967 by using data from TicketCity, including its archive of Super Bowl ticket stubs dating back to Super Bowl I in 1967. Note: This isn’t the average ticket price per year; it’s simply just the cost of one ticket to enter the stadium. GOBankingRates also found the July 2019 inflation-adjusted price of each Super Bowl ticket by using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ inflation calculator. All data used to conduct this study was originally compiled and verified on Aug. 26, 2019.

GOBankingRates also found the July 2019 inflation-adjusted price of each Super Bowl ticket by using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ inflation calculator. All data used to conduct this study was originally compiled and verified on Aug. 26, 2019.
