How Much Are Pittsburgh Steelers Playoff Tickets?
Playoff ticket prices are shaped by opponent, seeding, and the path to the Super Bowl. Pittsburgh’s history and fanbase alone keep demand high, and cold-weather games often attract national interest.
Guaranteed Home Game
Wild Card Round – Monday, January 12 vs. Houston
This is the one Steelers home playoff game that is guaranteed to happen.
Current secondary market pricing:
- Get-in price: $176
- Lower bowl: from $260
- Lower midfield: from $361
For a playoff game in one of the NFL’s most storied venues, these prices are notably accessible. Sub-$200 get-in prices are uncommon for postseason football, especially in a traditional market like Pittsburgh.
Historically, Steelers playoff tickets tend to rise in the final days before kickoff, particularly if weather conditions stabilize or national attention builds. Fans looking for the best value often find it earlier in the week, before last-minute buyers flood the market.
Divisional Round – Conditional
If the Chargers defeat the Patriots in the Wild Card round and the Steelers advance past Houston, Pittsburgh would host the Divisional Round.
Projected secondary market pricing for that scenario:
- Get-in price: approximately $400
- Lower bowl: approximately $500
- Lower midfield: approximately $700
A Divisional Round game at Acrisure Stadium would represent Pittsburgh’s closest home step toward the Super Bowl, and demand would rise accordingly. Prices at these levels are typical for second-round playoff games in cold-weather markets with deep postseason traditions.
Potential Home Game
AFC Championship – Highly Conditional
The Steelers could host the AFC Championship Game only if the Bills defeat both the Jaguars and the Broncos, allowing the bracket to break in Pittsburgh’s favor.
Projected secondary market pricing:
- Get-in price: approximately $900
- Lower bowl: approximately $1,100
- Lower midfield: approximately $2,200
Unlike a potential Divisional matchup with the Chargers—where cold weather could be a distinct home-field advantage—an AFC Championship involving Buffalo would feature two teams accustomed to winter football. In that scenario, the weather edge narrows, but demand remains enormous simply due to the stakes: a trip to the Super Bowl.
Conference Championship games are consistently among the most expensive tickets of the NFL season. If Pittsburgh hosts one, prices are likely to accelerate rapidly once the matchup is official.

When Is the Best Time to Buy?
For Wild Card games, the best values often appear:
- Immediately after the matchup is finalized
- Early in the week before travel plans lock in
- During brief market dips tied to weather uncertainty
For later rounds, many fans buy early to secure a seat and resell if the matchup doesn’t materialize. Others wait for confirmation and enter the market at higher prices.
If Pittsburgh advances and hosts either the Divisional Round or the AFC Championship, prices are expected to move quickly once those matchups become official.
