There are few playoff traditions in the NFL as enduring as postseason football in Foxborough. Gillette Stadium in January brings cold air, swirling winds, and a fanbase deeply accustomed to high-stakes football. When the Patriots host a playoff game, demand surges across the secondary market—whether it’s a Wild Card weekend opener or a potential path toward the AFC Championship.
With New England clinching the No. 2 seed in the AFC, the Patriots are guaranteed at least one home playoff game and could host more depending on how the bracket unfolds.
Whether you’re planning to attend the Wild Card round or hoping to witness a deeper postseason run, here’s everything you need to know about buying Patriots playoff tickets this season.

How Much Are New England Patriots Playoff Tickets?
Ticket prices in the NFL playoffs are shaped by opponent, round, and the perceived path to the Super Bowl. As the No. 2 seed, New England’s road includes a guaranteed home game in the Wild Card round and the potential to host again in later rounds.
Guaranteed Home Game
Wild Card Round – Sunday, January 11 vs. Los Angeles Chargers
This is the one Patriots home playoff game that is guaranteed to happen.
Current secondary market pricing:
- Get-in price: $197
- Lower bowl: from $294
- Lower midfield: from $338
Sub-$200 get-in prices for an NFL playoff game in Foxborough are relatively rare, particularly against a national opponent like the Chargers. Lower-level seats remain under $350 in many sections, offering strong value for fans looking to experience postseason football in person.
Historically, Patriots playoff prices tend to rise in the final days before kickoff, especially once weather forecasts stabilize and travel plans lock in for visiting fans.
Potential Home Game
Divisional Round – Conditional on Advancing
Because the Patriots hold the No. 2 seed, they would host the Divisional Round if they defeat the Chargers.
Projected secondary market pricing:
- Get-in price: approximately $300
- Lower bowl: approximately $500
- Lower midfield: approximately $600
Divisional Round games bring heightened urgency, and Foxborough has long been one of the league’s most reliable playoff venues. If New England advances, expect prices to rise quickly once the matchup is confirmed.
Potential Home Game
AFC Championship – Highly Conditional
The Patriots would host the AFC Championship Game only if:
- The winner of Bills/Jaguars defeats the Broncos, and
- New England defeats both the Chargers and the winner of Steelers/Texans
In that scenario, Gillette Stadium would host one of the most in-demand games of the entire NFL season.
Projected secondary market pricing:
- Get-in price: approximately $700
- Lower bowl: approximately $1,000
- Lower midfield: approximately $1,000
Conference Championship games consistently rank among the most expensive tickets in the sport. A Super Bowl berth on the line in Foxborough would drive intense national demand, with prices likely accelerating rapidly once the matchup becomes official.

When Is the Best Time to Buy?
For the Wild Card round, the best values often appear:
- Immediately after the matchup is finalized
- Early in the week before travel plans lock in
- During brief dips tied to weather uncertainty
For later rounds, many fans buy early to “reserve” a seat, knowing they can resell if New England doesn’t advance. Others wait for confirmation and enter the market at higher prices.
If the Patriots advance and host the Divisional Round or AFC Championship, expect prices to move quickly once those matchups become official.
With at least one home playoff game guaranteed—and a potential path to hosting deep into January—New England is once again one of the most important ticket markets of the postseason.
