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.

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).
