If you’re a fan here’s how to get cheap tickets to see some of the biggest US football teams in action.

Don’t go for the best seat

Snap up last individual game tickets

Individual tickets to all four of the games are now sold out apart from a limited number of single tickets for the two Twickenham games.

You can check prices on Ticketmaster. We saw a ticket for £92.65 (ticket £85 + £7.65 booking fee) in Section L33 for the Arizona Cardinals v Los Angeles Rams game.

To save some cash on the cost of the tickets use a cashback website like Quidco or Topcashback. Currently Quidco is offering 1.5%, while Topcashback is offering 1.57% cashback on Ticketmaster sales.

Get a package deal

Thomas Cook is currently selling hotel and ticket packages for all four games starting at £149 per person.

The NFL Match Break deals include official match tickets and accommodation at a range of locations.

If you are feeling flush the Hospitality or Executive Box packages are still available for all four games.

These are available via Club Wembley and Ticketmaster for the Wembley games and Keith Prowse for the Twickenham games.

Prices start from £359 per person and come with premium seat tickets, VIP access, a pre-game meal with entertainment, complimentary bar and more.

Save 20% with a season ticket

Anyone buying a season ticket for all four 2017 games will save an average of 20% off the cost of individual game tickets and you will pay fewer booking fees compared to purchasing tickets separately.

Plus, if you are renewing or purchasing season tickets, you will have the option to pay the full amount in one payment by credit and debit card or by Direct Debit, with costs spread over five payments.

Becoming a season ticket holder will also mean you have priority access to future NFL London games.

Unfortunately, season tickets for the 2017 NFL games are now also sold out.

Pay less for kids

Children aged 16 and under will need to have a ticket, but these are a lot cheaper than adult tickets and range from £20 to £22.50.

However, children tickets are restricted to certain seats in both the Wembley and Twickenham stadiums. See the NFL pricing structure above.

Infants under 18 months can attend the games for free, but you will need to collect a special ticket on the day.

Watch out for return tickets

NFL tickets are nearly all sold out unless you go for the package deal or want a single seat at a Twickenham game.

However, further tickets may become available later this year if returned from the participating teams.

This usually happens at the beginning of September. To get notified of these sign up to nfluk.com.

Compare prices on secondary selling sites

Alternatively, you may be able to find tickets to the games you want to see on secondary ticket reselling sites like Viagogo, GetMeIn! and others.

Make sure you shop around though as prices can vary wildly on secondary ticket sites and some sellers will put tickets up for sale for far more than the face value.

To try and get tickets at face value from people that can no longer attend the match try an ethical ticket exchange like Twickets. 

Get a job at Wembley or Twickenham

You can get to see the games for free if you work on event days at Wembley or Twickenham stadiums.

Event day work at Wembley Stadium is run by Delaware North Companies (UK), while for Twickenham it’s managed by Compass Group UK.
