What Are NFL Playoff and Championship Ticket Stubs Worth?

NFL Playoff Ticket Stubs: What They're Worth

NFL playoff ticket stubs occupy a special place in football memorabilia. The postseason is when legends are made, dynasties are built, and unforgettable moments happen. Ticket stubs from these high-stakes games are consistently among the most sought-after football collectibles.

Playoff Rounds and Their Values

Wild Card Round

Wild Card round stubs are the most common playoff stubs and typically the least valuable, but they still command premiums over regular season stubs. Values generally range from $20-$100 for modern games and $50-$300 for vintage Wild Card stubs. Stubs from memorable upsets or high-scoring games are worth more.

Divisional Round

Divisional Round stubs are moderately valuable, typically ranging from $30-$150 for modern games. Classic Divisional Round matchups — like the Ice Bowl or the Tuck Rule Game — command much higher prices due to their historical significance.

Conference Championships

AFC and NFC Championship Game stubs are significantly more valuable, often ranging from $75-$500 for modern games and potentially thousands for vintage championship games from the pre-Super Bowl era.

Pre-Super Bowl Championship Games

NFL Championship Game stubs from before 1967 (when the first Super Bowl was played) are highly valuable due to their age, rarity, and historical significance. These are the games that decided the champion before the Super Bowl era, and surviving stubs are scarce.

Factors That Drive Playoff Stub Values

Beyond the round, several factors influence the value of NFL playoff ticket stubs. Whether the game is remembered as a classic matters enormously — "The Catch," "The Drive," and other named games carry premiums. The teams and players involved affect value, with dynasty-era teams (70s Steelers, 80s 49ers, 90s Cowboys, 2000s Patriots) being especially collectible. And as always, condition plays a role, with cleaner stubs worth more than damaged ones.
