How much do Chiefs playoff tickets cost? An early look at what to expect at Arrowhead
The end of the NFL’s regular season is drawing near, and Chiefs fans are preparing for at least one playoff game at home.
Kansas City won the AFC West for a ninth straight season and will host a home game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The only question that remains is when the first game will happen: during the wild card weekend or the AFC divisional round?
The team has had wild card game tickets on sale since November, long before they clinched a playoff spot. Since the Chiefs are also in contention for the sole bye in the AFC, they’re also required to sell potential divisional round tickets. If the Chiefs defeat the Houston Texans and the Buffalo Bills lose in Week 16, the No. 1 seed stays in Kansas City.
If either of the playoff games don’t happen, the tickets are refunded. But it gives fans the opportunity to plan for the future and get their winter tailgates ready.
Ticket prices for the AFC divisional round vary depending on where you’re located, and it may change depending on the day they play, what time and who they’re up against. The weather conditions may also play a factor— last season’s wild card game saw prices as low as $50 in record-breaking cold.
The AFC divisional round takes place Saturday, Jan. 18, and Sunday, Jan. 19. Should the Chiefs play on wild card weekend, their game could happen between Saturday, Jan. 11, through Monday, Jan. 13.
Here’s how ticket prices look around Arrowhead Stadium on the Ticketmaster website. All ticket availability and prices are accurate as of Friday, Dec. 20.
How much does a Chiefs playoff ticket cost?
The cheapest ticket for the Chiefs’ divisional round playoff game on Ticketmaster is $175 before fees. These seats are located at the highest points in the stadium and offer no protection from the weather, like in section 317, row 38, seat 25, on the home bench side.
In the same section just 37 rows down, one available ticket costs $355.
Two tickets in section 228, row 1, go for $1,050 each, but a single ticket in the same row in section 229 costs $825. These seats are in the club level, which gives fans access to exclusive dining sections and lounges with full coverage from the weather. The seats themselves are protected from some weather elements, like rain, because they’re covered overhead.
No retail tickets are available at the 50-yard-line in section 119, but verified resale tickets on Ticketmaster show tickets starting at as $830. The suite above 119 is also where Taylor Swift usually watches the games, and two verified resale seats cost $1,138 in row 37, which could land fans just a few feet away from the superstar.
Seats directly across from section 119 on the visitor’s side cost less, but they are still expensive. One ticket in section 101, row 20, costs $510. A seat in the same section in row 1 costs $1,110.
Fans can find a mix of prices in section 128, located behind one of the uprights. Resale tickets range between $277 and 400, located between rows 26 and 37. The club level above 128 in section 235 costs $495 for a seat in row 3.
