- NFL raised ticket prices for London games to £79–£245, with the cheapest tier up 43.9% since 2019—outpacing UK inflation by more than 11 percentage points.
- NFL scrapped season-ticket packages after 2024, prompting long-term UK fans to describe the move as alienating and profit-driven, despite efforts to broaden access.
- Indianapolis Colts defeated Washington Commanders 30-13 in front of 60,907 fans at Tottenham, well below capacity and requiring price cuts to fill seats.
- Philadelphia Eagles vs. Jacksonville Jaguars game sold out within hours, showing strong demand when marquee teams are featured, even at premium pricing.
- UK fans report confusion and frustration over dynamic pricing, comparing it to controversial Oasis reunion ticket sales, though most remain enthusiastic about the event experience.
Why it matters: Longtime NFL fans in the UK are being priced out as the league prioritizes short-term revenue and new audiences, risking the grassroots goodwill that helped grow the sport abroad—despite record international games this season.
