If you're looking to see the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium for the AFC Championship Game, you'll be paying a premium price to do so. 

According to TicketIQ's Jesse Lawrence, the upcoming AFC title game has an average list price of $2,199. This makes it the most expensive AFC Championship Game that Lawrence has ever tracked at TicketIQ and the only instance where the average list price exceeded $2,000. Lawrence adds that some ticket prices for the game exceed $25,000 for lower-level seats at midfield on the Ravens' side of the field.

Demand for conference championship game tickets is also outpacing the year prior. According to StubHub, the AFC Championship Game is selling 82% more tickets than last year’s game between the Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals. 

“Ravens fans are eager to catch their team compete this weekend to clinch the AFC Championship title for the first time in over a decade. Demand for the matchup is nearly doubling last year’s AFC championship game on StubHub, when the Chiefs faced the Bengals at home,” said Adam Budelli, spokesperson for StubHub.

Overall, StubHub has sold 92% more tickets for conference championship games at this juncture compared to last year. They had just 1,500 tickets available as of Tuesday, Jan. 23 at 10:30 a.m., so if you're planning to attend, make sure to plan accordingly.
