If watching the Super Bowl game on TV doesn't quite do it for you, you may be wondering what it would cost to see the game in person. And while you likely expect the cost of tickets to be more than the average NFL game, if you've never inquired about Super Bowl tickets before, you might want to brace yourself for some sticker shock. After all, we're not talking about a cost of a few hundred dollars. How expensive are Super Bowl ticket prices? Super Bowl 57 tickets begin in the thousands!

Of course, going to a Super Bowl game might be on your bucket list or an absolute dream come true. It might be worth the price of a vacation or any other luxury item that you'd spend the money on. In this case, you will want to find the best tickets that you can afford. Besides buying directly from the NFL, there are also several other ticket brokers that are selling tickets. Just don't expect to find much under $5,000.

Where To Buy Super Bowl Tickets for 2023

There is a small percentage of official Super Bowl tickets that are allocated to fans through ticket packages that you can purchase ranging from $4,972 - $29,750. With that package price, you also get some extra perks like NFL experiences or pregame hospitality. So, if you can procure a ticket package, you get a little more bang for your buck. 

The rest of the official tickets go to season ticket holders who have been chosen through a lottery, members of the NFL and certain business sponsors. This means that there is only a slim chance for the general public to get ahold of tickets directly through the NFL.

For most of us, it may be better to try and secure tickets through the secondary market. Ticketmaster is the official ticket marketplace of the NFL. However, you can also find tickets through ticket brokers like Stub Hub, Seat Geek and TicketSmarter. All of these sell Super Bowl tickets at comparable prices to the official package deals, only without the package perks. However, the prices are dictated by ticket demand rather than the original, face value cost. 

Super Bowl Ticket Prices in 2023

How much do Super Bowl tickets cost? Depending on the seats available, prices start just below $5,000 and go all the way up to around $36,000 for the most premium seats. Most of the available seats are in the lower range, making the average Super Bowl ticket for 2023 a hefty $8,000.

You may be able to save a little on tickets if you wait to purchase them as it gets closer to the game. Typically, the closer you get to the date of the game, the more prices will lower. It's also possible to find tickets from individual resellers as it grows close to game day. People who were planning originally to go to the game may have had a change of plans and need to sell their tickets quickly.

Why Are Super Bowl Tickets So Expensive?

The reason that tickets for the Super Bowl are so expensive is because of the limited availability and high demand for tickets. Plus, many people are willing to pay the high cost of tickets, so they will continue to go up.

The expense also depends on the seats that you choose. This means that the closer to the field that your seats are, the more expensive they will be. However, when you purchase tickets in a zone, without designated seat assignment, the prices are typically in the lower range. 

Another reason tickets are so expensive is that you aren't paying just to see the game. The cost of having top performers for the halftime show is reflected back in the price of the tickets.
