Need a Super Bowl ticket? Check out these prices
Fans looking to attend the Super Bowl should be prepared to pay record prices on the secondary ticket market.
The cheapest ticket Tuesday morning on no-fee secondary ticket marketplace TickPick was $8,300 for an unspecified seat in the 300 level at Allegiant Stadium. The average listing price of the 1,976 tickets listed on TickPick was $10,588.
The Chiefs and the 49ers advanced Sunday to Super Bowl 58 and will meet Feb. 11 for the Lombardi Trophy. The game is a rematch of Super Bowl 54, won by Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, 31-20.
“This is by far the most expensive (Super Bowl on record),” said Matt Ferrel, vice president-head of growth at TickPick. “When you look at 2021, when it was at 33 percent capacity because of COVID, you see an average ticket price around a little over $7,000, and we’re sitting at a little over $10,000 this year.”
The lure of the Strip and because Allegiant Stadium has a smaller capacity than most NFL stadiums are contributing factors to the higher prices, Ferrel said.
“I think that this is a situation of people being excited that it is in Vegas and the market is dictating a sizable demand,” Ferrel said. “I think it’s all demand based and excitement based at this point.”
Super Bowl 58 tickets are tracking similar to the demand for Raiders home games, according to ticket search engine TicketIQ. The average listing price for Raiders home games is $1,035 — 149 percent higher than the NFL average. Super Bowl tickets on the secondary market are tracking 96 percent higher than historical averages for the game.
This year’s Super Bowl is tracking to be 50 percent more expensive than last year’s game at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where special events and the game were spread out across the Phoenix valley, Ferrel said. The majority of special events this year are located at properties in the resort corridor, within a few miles of Allegiant Stadium.
The Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee estimates there are more than 100 events — NFL sanctioned and unsanctioned — planned for next week.
”I think you’ll have a huge volume of people there to just draft off the energy and take advantage of the parties and entertainment, ” Ferrel said.
Despite the higher prices, there wasn’t a noticeable price shift once the Chiefs and the 49ers won Sunday’s conference championship games, Ferrel said.
“The prices stayed strong,” he said. “But I don’t think there was much room for the price to go higher.”
Prices tend to decrease between the days following the teams being set and the game. But this year might be different, Ferrel said.
”With this particular game, with this city and the excitement around it, we expect the prices to stay pretty consistent based on what we’re seeing right now,” he said.
