This article is aimed to measure the relationship between the determinants of football tickets prices for the Brazilian Championship from 2012 to 2018. The literature was used to identify determinants and the theory of full-cost pricing by Hall and Hitch was adopted. Panel data models were applied to estimate the relationships between the determinants and football tickets prices. The results showed that most determinants explained prices. Therefore, Hall and Hitch's full-cost pricing theory and the empirical model explained prices formation for football tickets in Brazil.
