Sports fans looking to spend more on tickets can do so at the Super Bowl and the Stanley Cup finals. Tickets to see the Rams capture Super Bowl LVI in California cost at average of $8,869, making it the most expensive sporting event, while those wishing to attend the Stanley Cup finals in June should be prepared to pay on average of $3,500 — the second-highest price for a sporting event.
Tickets to the NBA finals cost $2,507 on average, while the upcoming Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte boxing match at Wembley Stadium later this month comes in as the fifth-most expensive ticket at about $2,008.
If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, consider rugby’s Super League Grand final, which costs just $71 per ticket on average, though prices would skyrocket considerably for North Americans due to the fact the September event happens at Old Trafford stadium, meaning a plane ticket to Manchester, England, would be required.
