Ticketmaster Blocks Patriots Fans From Buying Tickets to AFC Championship Game

  • On Tuesday, Ticketmaster and the Denver Broncos limited AFC Championship ticket sales to buyers with Rocky Mountain billing addresses ahead of Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026.
  • With more than 98 percent of Broncos Season Ticket Members opting in, Patrick Smyth said the few thousand remaining single-game tickets sold out within 24 hours.
  • Secondary-Market listings started around about $500 to $577 in the 500s, while Ticketmaster's only non-resale 300 level seats began at $1,240 per seat.
  • Denver's Mile High crowd will be largely local, increasing home advantage as media outlets sought comment and Ticketmaster did not respond to requests.
  • Patriots fans posted social media screenshots and criticized the restriction, which is not the first time the Broncos and Ticketmaster have used geographic limits, a Ticketmaster spokesperson said, `'Sometimes teams will place geographic restrictions on certain events to give local fans the best chance to attend'`.
