For the seventh consecutive season, the Kansas City Chiefs are in the AFC Championship Game. After a one-season break in Baltimore, the championship game returns to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, where the Chiefs match up against the Buffalo Bills one more time.

The win against the Houston Texans on Saturday, Jan. 18, means that the Chiefs will host the AFC Championship Game, and staff are expecting more than 70,000 fans to pack the stadium once again for a chance to see history as the team gets one step closer to completing a three-peat.

The team put more AFC Championship Game tickets on sale after the win, and they’re much more expensive than the Divisional Round game.

The game kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 26. You can watch the game on CBS (KCTV5 locally) or streaming service Paramount+.

The National Weather Service forecasts a high of 33 degrees and low of 19 on game day.

Here’s how ticket prices look around Arrowhead Stadium on the Ticketmaster website. All ticket availability and prices are accurate as of Tuesday, Jan. 21.

Thousands of AFC Championship game tickets are on sale on Ticketmaster’s website, and they’re not cheap.

The cheapest ticket is $295 before fees in section 307, row 39. It’s one of the highest points in the stadium and offers no protection from the weather.

A seat a few sections over in section 334, row 12, costs $325. On the other side of the stadium in section 320, row 23, a ticket costs $365, and other seats in the upper level cost between $295 and $410. Verified resale tickets in the upper level range between $300 and $1,091.

Two tickets in section 221, row 3, go for $1,445 each. These seats are in the club level, which gives fans access to exclusive dining sections and lounges with full protection from the weather. The seats themselves are protected from some weather elements, like rain, because they’re covered overhead.

Verified resale tickets in the club level vary in price, costing $1,050 in section 231, row 4, and $1,749 in section 243, row 3.

Tickets are available at the 50-yard-line in section 119, with $1,195 as the lowest price in row 7. It’s also the only non-resale ticket available on Ticketmaster.

The suite above 119 is also where Taylor Swift usually watches the games, and two verified resale seats will cost you either $1,250 or $3,500 in row 38 each, which could land fans just a few feet away from the superstar. Row 1 seats in section 119 cost $2,799, which lands you just a few feet away from the Chiefs’ bench.

Seats directly across from section 119 on the visitor’s side cost less, but they are still expensive. One ticket in section 101, row 6, costs $1,005, landing you a few feet away from the visiting team’s bench. Verified resale seats in the same section cost anywhere from $850 in row 37 to $2,983 in row 1, which would all but guarantee Bills quarterback Josh Allen hearing your insults all game long.

Fans can find a mix of prices in section 128, located behind one of the uprights. Non-resale tickets cost $490 in row 6 and $445 in rows 26 and 34, but verified resale tickets cost between $550 and $999 in the section.

How much do tickets cost on resale ticket websites?

Other resale ticket websites also have AFC Championship tickets available for similar prices.

The lowest price on SeatGeek is $400 in section 306, row 40, and the highest is $11,954 in section 116, row 31. These prices do include fees.

Prices on Overland Park-based Tickets For Less start at $373, which is also located in section 318, row 37. The highest price? $3,299 in section 245, row 2. The resale site does not add additional fees to ticket purchases.
