LAS VEGAS – Super Bowl LVIII is shaping up to be the most expensive game in history, with ticket prices reaching record highs. The matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers has sent prices soaring, with the average ticket price hovering around $9,800, a 70% increase from last year’s game.
Defending champions, the Chiefs, are making their fourth appearance in the big game in the last five years, adding to the excitement and demand for tickets. The last time they faced the 49ers in the Super Bowl was in 2020, in a thrilling game that ended with the Chiefs emerging victorious.
One major factor contributing to the sky-high prices is the host city itself - Las Vegas. The city’s status as a sports and entertainment hub has turned the Super Bowl into a week-long extravaganza for fans, driving up demand and prices for tickets.
While ticket prices may see a slight decline as the game approaches, the allure of the event and the city’s appeal could convince fans to attend regardless. With the game set for Sunday, Feb. 11, in Las Vegas, anticipation is building for what promises to be an unforgettable Super Bowl experience.
For those looking to catch the action, the game will kick off at 6:30 p.m. EST (4:30 p.m. MST) and will be broadcast on CBS and Paramount+.
So overpriced, it’s ridiculous!
Disagree. The Super Bowl is a highly anticipated event and it’s expected for ticket prices to reflect that.
