Super Bowl tickets typically cost about $4,000 to $6,000 on the resale market based on historical averages, but prices can move dramatically depending on the matchup, stadium, seat, and timing. Recent Super Bowls have produced average resale prices around $8,000 to $10,000 during peak demand.

For the next game, Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, ordinary resale prices are not yet mature enough to support a reliable average. However, official NFL hospitality packages are already on sale through On Location, beginning at about $7,550 per person for a game ticket plus pregame hospitality. Hotel packages currently start above $11,000 per person.

Article Highlights

• Ticketmaster says historical Super Bowl resale tickets have averaged roughly $4,000 to $6,000 (at $30 per hour, earning that amount would take about 3.3 to 5 full-time workweeks, before taxes).
• Super Bowl LXI will be played February 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
• Official 2027 On Location ticket-and-hospitality packages currently start around $7,550 per person.
• Official hotel packages currently start at roughly $11,145 per person based on double occupancy.
• Super Bowl LIX face values ranged from approximately $950 to $7,500, but most ordinary fans could not simply buy those tickets at face value.
• The 2025 Super Bowl resale market averaged around $7,900 to $9,700 in late January, depending on marketplace and timing.
• For Super Bowl LX in 2026, the get-in price fell to about $3,361 only hours before kickoff after previously peaking around $6,620.
• Ticket prices can move by thousands of dollars in the final two weeks, so there is no universal rule that buying early or waiting is always cheaper.

How Much Do Super Bowl Tickets Cost?

For budgeting purposes, expect to need at least $4,000 to $6,000 (about 3.3 to 5 full-time workweeks at $30 per hour) for a resale ticket in a typical year, while high-demand matchups can push an average seat closer to $8,000 to $10,000.

Ticketmaster’s current guide says the historical average resale price for Super Bowl tickets has generally ranged from $4,000 to $6,000.

Recent games show how wide the real range can become.

Super Bowl pricing example	Observed price
Historical average resale ticket	$4,000–$6,000
2025 StubHub average in late January	About $7,900
2025 TickPick average in late January	About $9,700
2025 cheapest TickPick ticket	About $5,300
2026 peak get-in price after matchup set	About $6,620
2026 get-in price hours before game	About $3,361
2027 official hospitality package	From $7,550/person

The wide swings are why a generic statement such as “a Super Bowl ticket costs $5,000” is misleading. Two buyers attending the same game can pay dramatically different amounts for nearby seats depending on when and where they purchase.

Super Bowl LXI Prices

The next Super Bowl is Super Bowl LXI, scheduled for February 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The NFL schedule confirms the date and venue.

As of October 2026, the teams have not been determined, and the normal secondary market has not developed enough to produce a meaningful resale average.

Fans can already buy guaranteed official tickets through hospitality packages. Current On Location pricing starts at $7,550 (about 6.3 full-time workweeks at $30 per hour) per person for the Touchdown Club package.

That package includes:

• an official Super Bowl LXI ticket;
• the ability to select the exact available seat;
• an all-inclusive outdoor pregame hospitality event;
• food and beer/wine;
• live entertainment;
• NFL legend appearances.

A more premium Champions Club package currently starts around $18,000 per person.

These are not face-value ticket prices. They combine game admission with hospitality and other benefits.

Hotel Packages

Travel packages show how quickly the cost can move beyond the ticket itself.

A current Omni Los Angeles package costs about $11,145 per person based on double occupancy or $12,995 for single occupancy.

That includes three hotel nights, an official upper-level sideline ticket, pregame hospitality, game-day transportation, and additional Super Bowl events.

Other official packages currently begin around:

• $13,115/person for The Biltmore;
• $13,665/person for Conrad Downtown;
• $19,350/person for Casa Del Mar.

A couple buying the $11,145 double-occupancy option would spend:

$11,145 × 2 = $22,290

before airfare, personal spending, meals outside the package, or other entertainment.

Face Value vs. Resale

Face value and resale price should never be treated as the same number.

Face value is the price established by the NFL for the original ticket. Resale price is what a later buyer pays in the secondary market.

For Super Bowl LIX, reported face values ranged from approximately $950 to $7,500.

But the average fan generally cannot simply visit an NFL website and purchase one of the $950 tickets when sales open.

Super Bowl inventory is distributed through teams, league partners, sponsors, hospitality programs, and other allocations. During the 2025 game, participating teams received 35% of the tickets, while the NFL retained another 25%.

That limited general-market supply is one reason resale prices can be several times face value.

For example, a $1,500 face-value ticket resold at $7,500 carries a markup of:

($7,500 – $1,500) ÷ $1,500 = 400%

The original ticket has effectively become five times as expensive.

Recent Super Bowl Prices

Recent games demonstrate how strongly the matchup and timing affect prices.

For Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, StubHub demand data showed an average price around $7,900 shortly after the Chiefs-Eagles matchup was established.

TickPick reported a cheapest ticket around $5,300 and an average near $9,700, with one listing reaching $54,000.

Closer to the game, another market snapshot put the average price at roughly $8,076.

The previous Las Vegas Super Bowl was even more expensive. According to later market data, Super Bowl LVIII reached an average ticket price around $8,900.

Those numbers are far more useful than carrying forward a fixed $5,000-to-$7,000 estimate from 2024.

Prices Can Collapse

Super Bowl LX in February 2026 provides one of the clearest examples of why timing is unpredictable.

Game-day pricing showed that the cheapest pair equivalent had fallen to about $3,361 per ticket only hours before kickoff.

That was:

50% below

the approximately $6,620 peak recorded just after the Seahawks-Patriots matchup became known.

A buyer who purchased at $6,620 rather than $3,361 effectively paid:

$6,620 – $3,361 = $3,259 more per seat

For two people, that timing difference was:

$3,259 × 2 = $6,518

That does not mean waiting until Sunday will always save money. A particularly attractive matchup can push prices in the opposite direction while desirable seat inventory disappears.

The Hidden Price

The ticket can be only half of what attending the Super Bowl actually costs.

A fan traveling to Los Angeles for Super Bowl LXI might need:

• airfare;
• three or four hotel nights;
• airport transportation;
• transportation to SoFi Stadium;
• food;
• parking;
• pregame events;
• merchandise;
• travel insurance;
• additional entertainment.

Consider a couple who finds two resale tickets for $5,500 each:

Two tickets	$11,000
Airfare for two	$1,000
Three hotel nights	$1,500
Local transportation	$400
Food and drinks	$600
Other events/merchandise	$500
Illustrative trip total	$15,000

Tickets represent:

$11,000 ÷ $15,000 = 73.3%

of the entire trip in this example.

A premium hospitality package can shift the equation because it may bundle hotel accommodation, transportation, food, and events into the quoted price.

Ticket Fees Changed

The old article discussed examples where thousands of dollars in fees suddenly appeared at checkout. Federal pricing rules have changed since then.

Since May 12, 2025, the FTC ticket rule requires live-event ticket sellers to display the total mandatory price upfront.

Known mandatory ticket fees must be included in the displayed total rather than appearing only near the end of checkout.

Taxes and certain government charges may still be disclosed separately, as can optional extras and some shipping charges.

This does not make Super Bowl fees cheap. It makes the advertised price much more useful because consumers can compare marketplaces using a number closer to what they actually have to pay.

When Should You Buy?

There is no consistently correct answer.

The old advice to “buy early” because prices are necessarily lower immediately after the conference championships is not reliable.

That period can actually produce a price spike because fans of the newly confirmed teams enter the market at once.

Super Bowl LX demonstrated this clearly: prices peaked just after the matchup was set and then fell sharply toward kickoff.

But waiting carries risks:

• the matchup may create unusually strong demand;
• the seat section you want may sell out;
• airfare and hotels may rise even if tickets fall;
• you may have less time to verify travel logistics;
• the final decline may never happen.

The better strategy is to set a total trip budget and monitor the same seating category across several reputable marketplaces.

Official Packages vs. Resale

Official hospitality is expensive, but it solves several problems at once.

On Location is the NFL’s official hospitality provider. Its packages provide guaranteed official tickets and may bundle pregame hospitality, hotels, transportation, food, and additional events.

The cheapest current 2027 package at $7,550 is higher than Ticketmaster’s $4,000-to-$6,000 historical resale average, but the comparison is not apples to apples because the On Location price includes hospitality.

For someone already planning to spend heavily on the weekend, bundling can make the cost easier to understand.

For someone who wants only a seat inside the stadium, waiting for the resale market may offer a lower entry price.

Buying Safely

Super Bowl tickets attract fraud because a single transaction can be worth thousands of dollars.

Ticketmaster operates the NFL Ticket Exchange, the official resale marketplace for tickets after inventory has been distributed.

NFL ticket terms also warn that counterfeit, copied, or unlawfully resold tickets can be canceled without compensation.

Use a marketplace with buyer protections and a secure payment method, and verify the exact section and seat before paying.

Do not send cash, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or person-to-person payments to an unknown seller simply because the price looks substantially below the market.

Season Ticket Holders

Owning NFL season tickets does not automatically include admission to the Super Bowl.

Teams receive allocations, and individual clubs determine how their tickets are distributed among players, employees, sponsors, premium-seat customers, and season-ticket holders.

Some season-ticket members may gain access to lotteries or purchase opportunities, particularly when their team reaches the game, but there is no universal promise that a long-time season-ticket holder can simply buy a Super Bowl seat at face value.

This makes the old wording about season-ticket holders receiving a first option too broad.

Is It Worth It?

The financial answer is difficult to justify on ordinary entertainment economics alone.

Suppose one ticket costs $6,000 and the game, including halftime and stoppages, keeps you in the stadium for roughly four hours.

That is approximately:

$6,000 ÷ 4 = $1,500 per hour

before airfare, lodging, food, and transportation.

But Super Bowl buyers are not paying merely for four hours of football. They are paying for scarcity, the championship setting, halftime entertainment, the surrounding events, and the ability to say they attended one of America’s biggest sporting events.

The best value is therefore highly personal.

For comparison with other scarce event tickets, see our guides to NBA courtside tickets, Met Gala tickets, and Grammy tickets.

What We Verified

We checked more than 15 current and historical source pages covering the official 2027 Super Bowl date and venue, NFL hospitality, current On Location pricing, hotel packages, Ticketmaster’s historical resale averages, recent StubHub and TickPick pricing, 2025 face values, NFL ticket distribution, 2026 game-day price movements, resale policies, ticket terms, anti-fraud guidance, and the FTC’s current all-in pricing rule.

The research required a complete rewrite of the old article.

The original version mislabeled the 2024 game, relied almost entirely on 2024 resale snapshots, assumed an unreliable face-value range, said buying immediately after the conference championships was usually cheaper, and described late checkout fees in a way that predates the federal all-in pricing rule.

We also removed the assumption that season-ticket holders receive a standard priority-buying benefit and separated official hospitality prices from ordinary ticket prices.

The strongest evergreen benchmark is that historical Super Bowl resale tickets average roughly $4,000 to $6,000, while high-demand recent games have averaged closer to $8,000 to $10,000. For Super Bowl LXI specifically, official ticket-and-hospitality packages currently start at about $7,550 per person.
