Rams and Patriots face off: how much would you pay for a Super Bowl LIII ticket?
One month out from the NFL showpiece, tickets were listed for an average of US$8,000, according to TicketIQ data
Super Bowl tickets are not cheap. American football fans across the United States shell out thousands of dollars to attend the biggest game of the year.
The Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots will contest Super Bowl LIII on February 3 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the NFL’s swankiest arenas.
Fans at the stadium – home of the Atlanta Falcons – enjoy a retractable roof, beautiful lounges, a bar the length of the field, and stunning views of the city’s skyline during games.
One month out from Super Bowl 2019, tickets were listed for an average of US$8,000, according to TicketIQ data provided to Business Insider.
In the chart below, you can see how that price compares to previous Super Bowl games. In 2017, when the Patriots played the Falcons in Houston, the average ticket price one month out was over US$10,000 – the highest average price in the past five years.
“Get-in” prices represent the cheapest available Super Bowl tickets offered for a game. The chart below compares get-in Super Bowl ticket prices for the past five years. The 2017 Super Bowl again commanded the highest prices.
“The Super Bowl secondary ticket market since 2017 has been managed more actively, which means less open market supply, less volatility and more predictable consumer pricing, which is what the league is looking for,” TicketIQ founder Jesse Lawrence said.
