Are NFL Draft Ticket Stubs Collectible?

The NFL Draft as a Collectible Event

The NFL Draft has transformed from a behind-closed-doors selection process into a multi-day spectacle attended by hundreds of thousands of fans. As the event has grown, so has collector interest in draft-related memorabilia — including admission tickets and credentials.

When Draft Tickets Have Value

Draft tickets from the event's earlier years, when it was held at venues like the Marriott Marquis in New York, are scarce because the event was much smaller and attracted fewer attendees. Modern draft tickets from the expanded, multi-city era are more plentiful but can still carry value — particularly from years when a generational prospect was selected first overall.

Media credentials and VIP passes from the draft tend to be more valuable than general admission tickets due to their scarcity and the access they represent.

The Growing Market

As NFL Draft culture continues to grow — fueled by mock drafts, draft day trades, and the emotional stories of prospects — collector interest in draft memorabilia is growing in parallel. This is an emerging niche within football collecting, and early movers who acquire significant draft memorabilia may see strong appreciation over time.
