Ticket prices for this year’s Super Bowl matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers might even make billionaire Taylor Swift blush.

As of Monday, the February 11 game is the most expensive Super Bowl on record, according to TickPick. The average price is hovering around $9,800, which is 70% more expensive than last year’s big game.

The current “get-in” price (the cheapest) for this year’s game is $8,188, which is more than 50% more expensive than the cheapest ticket price of last year’s Super Bowl during this time, when it cost $5,997.

The 2020 game was previously the most expensive Super Bowl on record, according to TickPick, which had an average purchase price of $6,370. Those tickets were 35% less expensive than this year’s matchup.

One major factor for the sky-high prices is the city itself. Las Vegas is a “big factor for the record-high demand,” Brett Goldberg, co-CEO of TickPick, told CNN, because the “location is turning a three-hour game into a week full of festivities for fans attending.”

For those looking for a bargain on tickets, don’t bother. Goldberg said while they could “potentially see prices fall” over the next two weeks, prices didn’t decline before the 2020 Super Bowl matchup when both teams previously played.

Is that similar to lip-syncing?

To be fair; the artists think it the same thing.

it will still sell out. America has more than enough people that can comfortably afford to fill the stadium

For 200K I would build the most epic home cinema at home, watch it on that new big screen, and score an awesome addition to my home. Just sayin.

It is being hosted in Las Vegas in the 2nd most expensive stadium ever built (US$2 billion price tag), it was never going to be a cheap outing.

Reckon I sold my 2010 world cup final tickets for way too little.
As an aside, been to a baseball game and a basketball game. You'd think the basketball would be more fun and cooler to watch; nuh-uh. Was pretty boring. The baseball was way more fun for me.

Isn't that what the Super Bowl has become, a place for the rich & famous to rub shoulders with others?

How else are you going to keep the common folk out?

 

[Harmonic]

As the population continues to increase things like this will become more common. It's inevitable. There are only a fixed amount of resources, in this case, seats in a stadium

How is 8,2k more than 50% more than 6k?
