Packages that can be combined with ticket purchases include On The Fifty, Club 57, Champions Club, and Touchdown club, which, depending on the package, provide a variety of perks that include premium food and drinks, pregame events with live musical performances, post-game field access, and more.
Why Are Super Bowl Tickets so Expensive?
Answer: supply and demand.
It turns out your high school econ teacher was right. That class did, in fact, apply to real life. The limited number of tickets available for the most widely viewed American television broadcast, combined with the substantial demand, drives up the price for tickets.
Put simply, if people are willing to pay a premium cost for a premium product of limited supply, the price will be pushed upward.
Of course, tickets to the Super Bowl afford the buyer a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can’t be replicated, but the dramatic prices, which have increased substantially over time, make attending the game live inconceivable for many football fans.
Thankfully, watching at home with family and friends can be a wonderful way of enjoying the big game. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be releasing a series of articles at PFN to help make your Super Bowl viewing experience the very best it can be.
