New England Patriots fans pay the highest price for game attendance and hotel stays

September 12, 2018

Patriots fans spend the most out of all NFL fans to see their team play, according to a survey conducted by Cheaphotels.org.

The survey compared each team’s ticket prices and costs of local accommodations. The first five home games of each team were analyzed for the average rate two people must spend for the two cheapest available tickets (for side-by-side seats, excluding upper-level seats) and two nights in the cheapest available double room at a 3-star or higher hotel located in the nearest city center.

Fans spend an average of $1,371 to attend a New England Patriots game, with an average cost of $804 for two tickets and $567 for two nights in a Boston hotel. Not far behind, Green Bay Packers fans pay $1,337, with an average cost of $510 for two tickets and $827 for two nights in a Green Bay hotel. Accommodation costs in the small Wisconsin town are the priciest in the league.

Rounding out the top three is 2018 Super Bowl champs the Philadelphia Eagles. Fans pay $1,001 to attend a home game, with an average cost of $612 for two tickets and $389 for two nights in a Philly hotel.

If you’re looking to join a fanbase with affordability in mind, the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts offer the most affordable game day experiences. The total cost of two home game tickets and two nights’ accommodation for each team is less than $525.

The following table ranks all the NFL teams for home game attendance cost. The rates indicated include the average price for two tickets as well as two nights in a double room at a 3-star or above hotel.

Note: The established rates are averages, as ticket and hotel rates fluctuate depending on the opposing team and the game date. For example, the Tennessee Titans’ home game against the Philadelphia Eagles costs two people roughly $1,500, while other Titans’ games would cost less than $600 for the same seats and accommodations.
