Las Vegas Raiders fans outside Allegiant Stadium.

The average NFL ticket price jumped 8.6% this year to $121. The average cost for a family of four to see an NFL game this year was $632.The Las Vegas Raiders were the most expensive team to see in person this year.

Inflation is still a weight on most Americans, but some things are rising in cost more than others.

The average NFL ticket price jumped 8.6% this year to $121, and the average cost for a family of four to attend a game was up 7.1% to $632, according to research made available to Business Insider from the sports marketing publishing company Team Marketing Report.

Team Marketing Report collected data during surveys of all 32 National Football League teams, including the cost of parking, a souvenir cap, and four average ticket prices, hot dogs, small beers and soda. Using that information, it calculated a “fan cost index.”

To be sure, there are cheaper ways to go to an NFL game but this calculation weighs the most common expenses a family might incur during the trip.

Among the 10 most expensive NFL teams to see in person, only five made the playoffs this year.
