Heading into the final hours leading up to Super Bowl 56, what is the current price of tickets? How much will Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals fans have to fork over if they want to potentially witness their team lift the Lombardi Trophy?
How much are Super Bowl tickets in 2022?
Ticket prices for the Super Bowl vary depending on the website, so it is important to shop around. On Friday, the cheapest seats available on Viagogo were $5,750 in the upper deck. The most expensive available on the platform were as high as around $17,000 in the middle deck and $10,700 in the lower deck.
In contrast, on TickPick, the prices varied from around $3,400 to $32,000 for VIP sideline seats and upwards of $140,000 in the suites. There were more seats available on TickPick, allowing fans more options to choose where they wanted to sit based on their desired price point.
Prices have been falling heading into the weekend
A number of outlets have reported ticket prices falling as the week draws on. To start the week, the lowest price available was generally above $5,000, with the upper-priced tickets for premium seats outside of the suites being above $35,000 in some places.
Saturday could present the sweet spot for ticket prices. As the numbers drop closer to kickoff, the lower-priced tickets will begin to be brought up. That will then push up the “average price of available tickets” — tickets in higher price bands likely to be the last ones available.
How have Super Bowl ticket prices varied over the past few months?
TickPick has tracked prices all the way back to before the 2021-22 NFL season. Their earliest tracked average price is just above $9,500. That is nearly a third higher than the current average price of $6,500. However, the peak ticket price was significantly higher than either of those numbers. According to TickPick’s price tracker, the average price of Super Bowl tickets peaked at $17,395 on December 27.
Several elements drive these price changes, making it tough to judge exactly the way prices have changed. In late December, the majority of tickets available may have been in the VIP areas and suites. Getting closer to the game itself, more of the tickets in other areas of the stadium have become available, driving down the price.
Every Super Bowl week sees headlines of expensive ticket prices, and according to TickPick, the highest price so far for a Super Bowl 56 ticket was close to $25,000. However, research from various outlets has demonstrated that, generally, prices peak early in the week before dropping heading into the weekend. Nonetheless, a late uptick due to increased demand and less availability of the “cheaper” ticket options can occur.
