NEW ORLEANS — Want to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX? You might want to grab some tickets now for a seat in Caesars Superdome.
Ticket prices have dropped significantly in the past few days, going from an average low of $3,643 to $2,673 before taxes and fees, based on an analysis of online secondary ticket vendors.
While tickets were lowest Thursday, they began slowly increasing again Friday. This follows the trend of Super Bowl’s past, but the drop of roughly 30%, came much quicker than the last five years, according to Gametime.
Even with the price drop, the tickets are significantly more expensive than their face value.
Why? Well, the spectacle between the two teams having a rematch of their 2023 Super Bowl, how popular some players have grown, the Taylor Swift effect, the halftime show excitement and prices spiking are likely bumping up the cost.
If you include the cost of flights, a hotel room and the Super Bowl ticket, you’re looking at a trip hovering around $10,000, as seen on Book Seats. The price will fluctuate depending on a multitude of factors, like where you’re flying in from, where in the stadium you’re sat, what hotel you stay at and for how long. This price dropped nearly 50% in the past week.
How much are Super Bowl tickets?
As of Monday, the lowest price for a Super Bowl ticket we could find was $3,273 on VividSeats, $3,400 on GameTime, $3,480 on Stubhub and $4,420 on Ticketmaster… before tax and fees. Believe it or not, this is a drop from weeks and even days prior.
The prices continued to drop ahead of the game. As of Friday, the lowest prices we could find were $2,542 on VividSeats, $2,642 on GameTime, $2,643 on Stubhub and $2,868 on Ticketmaster. This is a very slight increase from Thursday, which was the lowest cost so far unless you somehow got tickets at face value.
But again, those numbers are before taxes and fees — which can add more than a thousand dollars to the cost.
Still, according to Gametime, the lowest cost seats are 60% less expansive than last year’s game and 50% less expensive than when the Chiefs and Eagles met two years ago.
Speaking of those face value tickets, if you managed to get one, they’d cost anywhere from $950 to $7,500 each. The NFL decides who gets those, making it difficult for just anyone to pinch pennies on tickets.
Will ticket prices change again?
Who knows. In 2023, the final average price for Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles in Glendale, Arizona was $5,795. Historically, tickets get one last bump in price two days before the game.
Gametime reports a similar trend, noting last year’s game had a minimum price of $8,764 shortly before kickoff.
TickPick, a company who tracks the prices of Super Bowl tickets 20 days before the game, shows 2025’s tickets are the lowest since the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s a pretty significant difference to Super Bowl 2024 tickets, which were one of the most expensive on record.
“With last year’s Vegas hype and 49ers fan frenzy behind us, prices are seeing a natural market correction,” Gametime told the Associated Press in a statement. “Plus, with no major ‘pent-up’ demand from either fan base, tickets are looking better than ever.”
With less than a week left before Super Bowl Sunday, prices could increase again like in years past, but there’s no telling for sure what will happen.
