Super Bowl LIX ticket prices surge as top seats selling for $20,000 more than last year
The stage is set for Super Bowl LIX, and history is on the line. The Kansas City Chiefs are one win away from an unprecedented NFL three-peat, punching their ticket to New Orleans with a dramatic 32-29 win over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game on Sunday night. Mahomes and the Chiefs are one game away from an unprecedented Super Bowl three-peatGetty Standing in their way will be the Philadelphia Eagles, who steamrolled the Washington Commanders 55-23 to win the NFC title. Led by quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia will be looking to spoil any plans Kansas City have of winning three-straight Super Bowls on February 9. The two teams will meet at the iconic Caesars Superdome, home of the New Orleans Saints, in front of an 83,000 strong crowd. But Eagles and Chiefs fans hoping to pick up a ticket now their teams have reached the Super Bowl might be in for quite a shock. While there are still seats available for the big game, the cheapest – located in the upper bowl – are currently priced at $4,719. The top tickets, located behind what will be Philadelphia’s sideline, are being sold for a staggering $56,925. A pair of tickets in row 31 of the same section were available to buy on Monday 27 January for $25,110. Those seats are said to include VIP passes and access to the VIP lounge. A range of other tickets, priced from anywhere between $5,000 and $37,000, are also available. No matter where you want to sit at Super Bowl LIX, it will cost a pretty penny. The cheapest tickets for this year’s Super Bowl are priced at around $4,700GAMETIME Some of the more expensive tickets, behind the sidelines, cost upwards of $20,000GAMETIME For comparison, the lowest-priced seats for last year’s Super Bowl between the Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada were $8,764 each, right before the game. Top-priced seats were $37,620 each. And when the Chiefs and Eagles met in the Super Bowl two years ago at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, tickets started at $6,264 each with the most expensive going for $33,042. That means the price for the best seats have surged by around $20,000 in just 12 months. While that may come as a shock, it’s no secret that the Super Bowl is one of the world’s most expensive sporting events. The game is also one of the few in sports where teams don’t change the cost of tickets – everyone wants to be there regardless of the match up. This year’s Super Bowl will take place in New OrleansGetty And as demand grows, so does the price of tickets. But it wasn’t always that way. While the price of seats surged long before Super Bowl LIX, entry into the first-ever game was far more reasonable. A ticket to Super Bowl I, between the Green Bay Packers and the Chiefs in 1967, cost just $12 at the time. Adjusted for inflation, that’s about $113 today. Nearly 60 years on from that first game, fans are paying around 500 times that price. As well as seeing the Chiefs bid to make NFL history, those in attendance at the Caesars Superdome this year will also be treated to a halftime show from Kendrick Lamar and SZA. But is that enough to justify dropping at least $4,725 – or up to $57,000 – for one night of entertainment? The answer, of course, is subjective. Those who have secured tickets will probably say yes, but those who missed out would likely say no.
