Super Bowl tickets have never been a bargain. At least not for the last LIV years or so.
But for those looking to attend the big game at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday, the prices won’t be as high as they were only a few weeks ago. There also were record prices at last year’s game in Tampa, Florida, when SeatGeek and StubHub, two of the leading resale services, sold seats at prices above $8,000. The ticket costs were inflated by limited capacity rules imposed because of the pandemic, and also because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were playing in their own stadium — a Super Bowl first. The pre-pandemic record was the 2020 game between Kansas City and San Francisco in Miami, when the average price was between $6,500 and $7,200, depending upon the service. When this year’s matchup was set two weeks ago, with the hometown LA Rams set to meet the championship-starved Cincinnati Bengals, record resale prices seemed likely. Prices on all three resale services for a single ticket were around $10,000. Now it appears the prices won’t top the recent records. But they’ll still be costly. In addition to the price of the tickets, parking passes are going for hundreds of dollars, and as much as $5,700 if you want to park in one of the lots closest to the stadium.
