I suspect there is a "surcharge" on ticket prices because it is Vegas, most major cities have high taxes on everything tourism related, this probably bleeds in, the additional taxes on Chicago hotel rooms immediately comes to mind. But it is getting ridiculous for working class people to attend the big game, it seems to be reserved as a playground for the rich these days. Many people probably wouldn't want to go anyway, but some of these stadiums (Raiders, Rams, Vikings, Atlanta, etc) are worth the cost of admission for a regular season game, just to experience a game there.
Fans thinking of going to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl should prepare for a case of sticker shock if they haven’t already purchased tickets.
Prices for the Feb. 11 game are the most expensive on record. Just getting inside Allegiant Stadium to see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers will cost around $8,000 for a single ticket, which is 25 percent more expensive than the $5,997 “get-in” price of the Super Bowl this time last year, according to data from TickPick, an online ticket marketplace.
The average purchase price of Super Bowl tickets listed on TickPick is $9,804 – 69 percent more expensive than last season’s championship, which saw an average price of $5,795. Data from StubHub indicates the average price of tickets sold on its marketplace is $9,300, though StubHub buyers will incur a fulfillment and service fee that was in the low thousands as of Wednesday.
StubHub’s data shows buyers from California account for 26 percent of all tickets sold. Nevada is next at 8 percent, followed by Kansas/Missouri at 7 percent.
The fact that Sin City is playing host to the largest football game in the country for the first time is a big factor driving demand, but scarcity is also playing a part, TickPick vice president of growth Matt Ferrel said. Allegiant Stadium has 65,000 seats, which ranks 27th among the 32 NFL stadiums by capacity.
“It’s the first Super Bowl in what’s newly kind of being established as the domestic sports capital with F1, the Raiders now being there and teams moving to Las Vegas. And Las Vegas ultimately being a fairly compelling destination for any large-scale event. When you’re talking about the Super Bowl, it’s one of the largest-scale events,” Ferrel said.
The Chiefs and Niners have a history of garnering high ticket prices, as the previous most expensive Super Bowl on record was in 2020 when the two teams faced off in Miami. The average purchase price of that was $6,370, per TickPick.
