Super Bowl Tickets Selling for An Average Price of $4,054


For less than two grand you can get a ticket to watch the New York Giants and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. Super Bowl tickets this year are selling for an average price of $4,054 on the secondary market.

Bloomberg reports that the that Super Bowl tickets this year have a face value of $800 to $1,200, up from the $600 minimum price last year.

TiqIW, a ticket aggregator that tracks listings from eBay, Stubhub, and several other ticket venues, said that the average price for a ticket to this year’s game is $4,054. The most expensive ticket so far has been a $15,343 ticket for a seat in the third row of section 113. at Lucas Oil Stadium. A suite of 25 seats currently has an asking price of $800,000.

But even if you’re willing to pay the high price for a ticket, you might not be able to find a seat. Chris Matcovich, a spokesman for TiqIQ, says that there aren’t too many tickets available since a large number of tickets go to corporations. Matcovich said:

“The Super Bowl has become so corporate, a lot of these tickets don’t go to actual fans of the teams. There are only so many tickets available on the secondary market.”

Matcovich expects prices to rise as we get closer to game day. New York Giants fans could also drive prices up as, according to Matcovich, they’ll do just about anything to watch their team play.

Matcovich siad:

“Giants fans are pretty rabid and they travel pretty well. So I wouldn’t be surprised that people will be willing to pay a high price to go to Indianapolis. If you have income to spend, people are willing to spend anything to go to this game.”

Super Bowl XLVI is set for February 5th in Indianapolis. Do you have Super Bowl tickets?
