Still looking for Super Bowl tickets? Here’s what you need to know
Get your La-Z-Boy chairs, chips and (root) beer ready — Super Bowl 54 is almost here!
Planning to be there in person? Don’t fret: We have you covered.
To help ease anxiety, we’ve put together a blog that will allow you to track everything from ticket prices to availability. The blog will be updated frequently so make sure to check back to see if anything changes.
Without further ado, let’s get started.
Are there tickets still available?
Of course!
Where can I get them?
Tickets can be purchased through primary sellers like the NFLOnLocation.com and Ticketmaster, which is where you wind up if you go through NFL.com. Some of the trusted secondary markets include Vivid Seats, StubHub and SeatGeek. One thing to remember: Ticket prices do not include service fees, which can be costly.
When’s the best time to get them?
Buy your tickets as soon as possible. Prices will be steadily rising now that the Kansas City Chiefs are set to take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Feb. 2 at Hard Rock Stadium.
How much are tickets?
1/28 - Prices kept sliding on Ticketmaster ($4,815 to $26,125), and NFLOnLocation.com ($4,547.50 to $23,375). In each case, the upper corners of Hard Rock Stadium are the cheapest while the most expensive are in The 72 Club section right at the 50-yard line behind the Kansas City bench.
Vivd Seats, however, has tickets from $4,795 to a single ticket to a suite for $327,020.
SeatGeek has a few 72 Club tickets left, from $23,275 to $27,431 and can get you into The Rock for $4,872.
Over on StubHub, a single ticket low is $4,900 and a few single club seats can be had for $300,000 and up, the highest being $385,000. But people with that kind of money don’t tend to roll solo.
1/27 - The price range on the primary market narrowed over the last few days. Either the cheapest tickets have been sold or their prices are rising, while top prices are coming down on the Ticketmaster and NFL seats. As of Monday evening, prices ranged from $4,462.50 to $25,500 on NFL, and from $5,250 to $30,000 at Ticketmaster.
StubHub prices were up. On Monday afternoon, the average ticket price was $6,539, with prices ranging from $4,312 to $55,800 in the Club Living Room. StubHub reported that ticket sales had increased 6% over the last 48 hours.
SeatGeek said the overall average resale price had dropped again, to $6,818, but even so, that price was so far above last year’s final average price of $5,373 that it seemed “almost a lock that this will end up as the most in-demand Super Bowl we have seen, and likely by a wide margin.” The SeatGeek range, with 671 listings: $5,794 to $46,302.
Prices were up significantly at Vivid Seats, where the price range was $4,605 to $32,220.
1/23 - Ticket prices appear to have slightly dipped on both the primary and secondary markets.
A quick scan of primary sellers Ticketmaster and NFL shows that cheaper seats can be found as low as $4,037.50. The most expensive seats are still going for $35,000.
As of Thursday, SeatGeek’s Super Bowl Resale Ticket Tracker reported that the average price of tickets sold has dropped to $6,853. These prices had been trending upward since Sunday’s NFC and AFC championship games.
StubHub’s prices dipped below $4,000 for the first time since this blog began. Tickets can now be found as cheap as $3,388 while seats in the exclusive 72 Club are going for a little more than $48,150 a piece.
While the jump in price on the high end is unclear, it could be attributed to a new seller who might be unfamiliar with the market.
Tickets on Vivid Seats followed the same trend. While the lowest price hovered around $3,725, the highest can cost as much as $23,110.
1/22 - Despite some prices rising on the secondary market, tickets from primary sellers have slightly dropped in cost. The cheapest ticket can be had for $4,165 while the most expensive will run you about $35,000.
Resale ticket prices, for the most part, have seen a slight spike. As of Wednesday, SeatGeek’s Super Bowl Resale Ticket Tracker reported the average price of tickets sold on its website jumped roughly 10 percent to $7,806. The average price of available tickets is $8,929.
Judging by the benchmarks, StubHub’s prices have seen a minimal decrease. Tickets now range from $4,159 to $16,500.
The same is also true for Vivid Seats. Prices have dropped to $4,210 on the low end and $17,000 on the high.
1/21 - Ticket prices on the primary market haven’t seen much change on the low end. They can still be snagged for as low as $4,4602.50.
The same can’t be said for the high end benchmark. Tickets on the 50-yard line are going for as high as $40,000.
Resale tickets appear to have been injected with the post-conference championship price boost as well. As of Tuesday, SeatGeek’s Super Bowl Resale Ticket Tracker reported the average price of tickets sold has jumped roughly 21 percent to a hair under $7,100.
SeatGeek’s prices range from $5,375 to $60,393. StubHub’s tickets go for as low as $4,315 but max out around $18,050. A seat through Vivid Seats can run you between $4,419 and $16,363.
1/18 - Tickets can run anywhere between roughly $4,460 and $25,500 on the primary market.
Resale tickets are a totally different story. As of Saturday, SeatGeek’s Super Bowl Resale Ticket Tracker reported the average price of tickets sold is a little more than $5,800. Prices will fluctuate depending on the website.
On SeatGeek, tickets range from $4,729 to $31,481. StubHub prices run as high as $17,000 but bottom out around $5,040. Vivid Seats’ tickets go for $4,318 on the low end but can also cost as much as $20,005.
What comes with a ticket?
As the Herald previously reported, tickets can come with many amenities. Some include entrance to a tailgate party with unlimited drinks while others come with admission to functions with live entertainment and free food.
Just make sure to read the description before pulling the trigger.
