With the NFL season on the horizon, Kansas City Chiefs fans are scrambling to get their hands on tickets — and they’re paying a premium. Between Patrick Mahomes ’ legendary status, the team’s championship pedigree, and the added media firestorm brought on by Travis Kelce ’s relationship with global superstar Taylor Swift , the demand has skyrocketed. As a result, ticket prices for Chiefs home games at Arrowhead Stadium have reached astonishing levels.
The Swift-Kelce spotlight adds new value to Chiefs’ game day experience
Travis Kelce has long been a fan favorite, but his relationship with Taylor Swift has brought a whole new demographic — and level of attention — to Chiefs games. Whenever Swift is spotted in her VIP suite at Arrowhead, the media frenzy follows. It’s what some are calling "The Swift Effect," and it’s real.
With fans now hoping to catch a glimpse of the superstar couple in person, ticket demand has hit historic highs. Add to that the Chiefs’ consistent performance and their role as perennial Super Bowl contenders, and you have a perfect storm of ticket inflation.
Breaking down the most expensive and cheapest games on the schedule
The NFL released the 2025 season schedule, and the Chiefs' home opener is already making headlines. The highly anticipated Super Bowl LIX rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles kicks off the season with tickets starting at $324 in Section 318 — and that’s for the upper levels.
Another highlight is the September 28 clash with the Baltimore Ravens, with prices beginning at $279 in Section 340. This matchup pits two of the league's most dynamic offenses against each other and is expected to be a sell-out.
If you're looking for a more affordable option, the November 23 game against the Indianapolis Colts is your best bet, with resale tickets on StubHub starting at $170. However, with the average "cheap" seat hovering around $200, fans will need to budget carefully.

Despite a tough Super Bowl loss to the Eagles last season, Mahomes and Kelce are hungry for redemption. The fanbase remains fiercely loyal, and the hype only grows with every viral moment — like Mahomes’ kids making headlines or Swift being seen in the crowd.
As one fan put it, “If you're a big Chiefs fan, it's definitely worth the effort.” Just be ready to pay for the privilege.
