This year, the average price for a regular ticket is $8,660, according to SeatGeek as of Feb. 7. That makes the cheapest ticket cost $5,512 and the most expensive $43,924. On Feb. 7, Ticketmaster had the cheapest one — $4,500 for section 448, row 13 — and the most expensive — $50,000 for section 108, row 19. And that’s without taxes.
“As expected, we’re seeing high demand for this year’s game in Glendale,” said Chris Leyden, SeatGeek director of consumer strategy. “This year’s game is still one of the most in-demand Super Bowls in history.”
Now, if you can afford it, you also can buy VIP packages, but that’s a completely different ballgame.
Let’s take a look at a few of them and what they will get you.
Roadtrips
Sports travel company Roadtrips offers several VIP packages, which start at $11,365 and go up from there, depending on the type of accommodation and ticket you pick.
The packages include hotel in the Phoenix area, preferred tickets to the Super Bowl, in-city hosts, admission to a VIP tailgate party on game day, admission to the NFL fan experience, round-trip stadium transfers on game day, personalized itinerary, commemorative gift package, and $250 food and beverage credit for certain hotels.
“However, you can completely customize your package with premium hospitality, extra nights, VIP parties and events, room upgrades and other add-ons to make your experience perfect for you,” according to the brochure.
On Location
On Location, which partners with Ticketmaster, offers several VIP packages, but most of them were already sold out on Feb. 7.
There are a couple available, however, which are “curated” experience packages and include “your ticket for official access, the closest pregame parties and the best seats with exact seat locations guaranteed,” according to the website.
Here are a couple of options:
