Fans hoping for affordable Super Bowl tickets will be disappointed. The upcoming showdown between the Chiefs and 49ers in Las Vegas has generated immense hype and excitement. The question remains: Will Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs dominate, leaving the country to deal with his wife and T-Swift? Or will Brock Purdy and the 49ers put an end to the spectacle? The answer will be revealed this weekend, but one thing is certain: ticket prices are exorbitant.
As of now, the cheapest ticket available on SeatGeek, including fees, is a staggering $7,693. This is not the average price, but rather the minimum cost to enter Allegiant Stadium. Super Bowl tickets are notoriously expensive, with prices skyrocketing compared to last year’s game between the Chiefs and Eagles. StubHub spokesperson Adam Budelli revealed that prices have increased by 93% on average.
Typically, ticket prices tend to decrease as the game approaches. However, this is not the case for Super Bowl LVIII. Prices remain exceptionally high, with some tickets listed for over $40,000. This is an astonishing amount of money, equivalent to purchasing a Tesla or 2,000 cases of light beer. It seems that fans will have to be prepared to open their wallets and spend a significant amount if they want to secure a seat.
According to a source at Sapphire strip club in Vegas, the influx of money from San Francisco is driving up costs across the board. The tech bros from the city have an abundance of wealth, leading to inflated prices. Unless you are willing to splurge, it might be more sensible to watch the game from the comfort of your own home.
