This year’s game is taking place in Las Vegas for the first time, and it’s significantly impacting the ticket market. According to ticket aggregator TicketIQ, the average secondary ticket market list pricing for the Feb. 11 game at Allegiant Stadium has reached a record-breaking $10,752. This surpasses the prices for the previous Super Bowl, which was limited to just 25,000 attendees due to the pandemic.
One key factor driving these high ticket prices is the teams’ popularity. The Kansas City Chiefs, who are making their fourth Super Bowl appearance in five seasons, have a dedicated fan base.
