Most Expensive US Sporting Events in 2024 

It’s been a busy year of exciting sports, and the big events keep coming. Formula 1 is coming to Austin, Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada, alongside the much-anticipated Netflix bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.

To delve deeper into a year of huge sporting events across the country, VegasInsider analyzed the average price of tickets to find the most expensive spectacle of 2024.

Here are the results:

The Cost of Attending Super Bowl LVIII

The results showed that Super Bowl LVIII was by far the most expensive sporting event across the country, costing almost four times more than the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which was second on the list. 

To see the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime at Allegiant Stadium would cost an average of $8,600.

Other Expensive US Sporting Events

The Masters is arguably one of the most exclusive tickets in golf, so it’s no surprise to see the event at Augusta National amongst the top three, costing $2,167.

The Kentucky Derby ranked fourth in the list, costing an average of $1,774 with UFC 300 making up the top five at a price of $1,567.

UFC 306 at the Sphere just missed out on the most expensive events costing $1,083 average just below the Miami Grand Prix which took place back in May.

The United States Grand Prix is the least expensive Formula 1 ticket in the US this year, however it is still more expensive than the Copa America final and Mike Tyson’s return to the ring against internet sensation Jake Paul.

Rounding off the most expensive sporting events we have the ICC T20 World Cup Final (Cricket), Wrestlemania XL (WWE), March Madness Finals (Basketball), US Open (Tennis) and US Open (Golf).
