The Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers will do battle next Sunday in the NFC Championship Game with a spot in Super Bowl LVII on the line.
Philadelphia disposed of the rival New York Giants by the score of 38-7 in the NFL divisional round. San Francisco took out the Dallas Cowboys by a touchdown in their meeting Sunday night for a 12th consecutive win.
To say that this is a highly-anticipated matchup would be an understatement. Philadelphia cruised to the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage by posting a 14-3 record during the regular season. San Francisco has been an absolute juggernaut since rookie quarterback Brock Purdy took over and following the October acquisition of star running back Christian McCaffrey.
Ticket prices for this 49ers and Eagles matchup tell us the story here. According to Tick Pick (h/t John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia), the average get-in price on the second-hand market for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game is $1,102.
That’s a 31% increase from the 49ers’ appearance in the very same game against the Los Angeles Rams in Southern California last January. It is also the most-expensive conference championship game on record.
