As legendary as the coming Super Bowl LV looks to be, the ticket prices haven’t reflected that. Some financial markets originally predicted that this would be the most expensive Super Bowl ever, but recent updates have shown that this is far from the case.
As of the first of February, the cheapest ticket for the upcoming Super Bowl between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs was $5,936. While that sounds extremely expensive, especially for the cheapest ticket, it’s actually not that much by recent Super Bowl standards.
In fact, the cheapest ticket at last year’s Super Bowl was much higher at $6,603. To put it into overall perspective, the most expensive ticket of all-time to get into a Super Bowl was in 2015, when the “cheapest” average ticket price was a staggering $8,764.
One might attribute this upcoming Super Bowl’s low price range to the pandemic—but on the contrary, financial experts reasoned that the limited seats would actually raise the prices. Add in the fact that the legendary Tom Brady would be representing the Bucs at their home field, against superstar Patrick Mahomes, and you’ve got an instant classic.
However, it seems as though the rush to buy tickets wasn’t as strong as people anticipated. Perhaps people understood that the limited capacity would actually make the Super Bowl less fun to attend, which could be why fewer folks were eager to shell out their small fortunes for tickets.
