Have you ever wanted to see Super Bowl 58 live? You might have to think about it again, or perhaps three times, because the cost of participating in this year’s confetti shower has reached new heights. The ticket price for the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, scheduled for February 11, has recently risen to five figures.
Super Bowl ticket prices break records
The NFL championship game is one of the most prestigious and famous sporting events in the United States, and it is consistently one of the most expensive to attend each year. However, this year, the expense of simply entering the stadium has broken all previous records. On SeatGeek, a ticket resale website, the average ticket price is a whopping $12,082.

SeatGeek’s Director of Growth Marketing, Chris Leyden, recently told USA Today, “The Super Bowl is like a different beast; it’s going to be incredibly in demand.” With average secondary market prices ranging from $9,815 to $12,082, the upcoming Super Bowl is expected to be one of the most expensive and widely awaited spectacles. To provide perspective, the ticketing website notes a 70% increase from the average price of $5,795 for Super Bowl 57 tickets.
Super Bowl 58 lowest ticket price
Unexpectedly, the lowest ticket price on the website is roughly $9,858, which is considered a low-cost choice for Allegiant Stadium. Two weeks before the event, the average Super Bowl ticket price has increased by 36% over the previous year. SeatGeek attributed the increased interest to the stadium’s location.
Why are Super Bowl 58 tickets so expensive?
According to Leyden, “The reason the prices are maybe higher than normal and demand is higher than normal, frankly, has a lot to do with the location of the game.” He goes on to say, “(Location) always kind of adds a premium to the pricing and the demand because you have so many people that might not be a fan of the Chiefs or the 49ers, but they want to go to Super Bowl. This is the one that they’re going to go to because of everything that sort of Vegas has to offer.”
