NEW ORLEANS — If you’re considering attending the Super Bowl on Sunday, you’ll find that ticket prices have decreased compared to last year. The starting price for a ticket is currently around $2,600, as reported by StubHub. According to a company spokesperson, Adam Budelli, while a number of tickets remain available, they are being sold rapidly.
Budelli noted, “In contrast to last year, which held the record for the highest priced Super Bowl ever on StubHub, this year’s prices are down 56%, making it significantly more accessible—though perhaps not entirely affordable—when put side by side with last year’s figures.”
The average ticket price has fallen to roughly $6,900, reflecting a 17% drop compared to the previous year. Budelli attributes the decline in prices to several reasons, including the ability of the Caesars Superdome to host over 15,000 additional fans, an abundance of hotel accommodations, and a general fatigue among fans.
The Kansas City Chiefs have triumphed in the last two Super Bowls, with a close win against the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023. Budelli mentioned, “Fans have witnessed their team’s victories. It can be challenging to justify shelling out $10,000 year after year if you’ve already experienced those wins.”
This may indicate that Eagles supporters are currently driving ticket sales. Budelli stated that early in the week, ticket purchases from Pennsylvania outpaced those from Kansas and Missouri by a significant margin, though that gap has since narrowed.
“We’ve observed a 14% uptick in ticket purchases from Kansas City Chiefs fans,” Budelli explained. “Currently, the sales lead is still with Pennsylvania by about 15%, while Kansas and Missouri lag behind by approximately 9%. Although Eagles fans are still ahead, it’s possible that Chiefs fans will see improvements in their numbers as the weekend unfolds.”
While this year’s prices are lower, Budelli emphasized that last year’s high costs in Las Vegas set a unique precedent. He noted that the pricing for this year’s Super Bowl aligns more closely with what was expected in 2023.
