With just over 48 hours remaining until Super Bowl 2024, fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating the grand spectacle of American football. The showdown is scheduled for Sunday (Monday morning in India) between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, and enthusiasts in the United States are sparing no expense to witness the Super Bowl live at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
Reports indicate that fans in the United States are willing to shell out a staggering $45,000 for a ticket, underscoring the Super Bowl’s status as one of the nation’s premier events.
Super Bowl LVIII Ticket Prices Soar
Regarded as one of the largest sporting extravaganzas, ticket prices for Super Bowl LVIII saw a significant surge immediately following the conference championship games in late January. Traditionally, Super Bowl ticket prices tend to decrease as the event approaches, but this year has bucked that trend, with prices skyrocketing after the conference championship playoffs.
While this year’s Super Bowl tickets initially sold by the NFL were priced at around $2,000 after the conference championships, official ticketing partners like StubHub, Ticket King, and TicketMaster are now offering tickets starting at a minimum price of $6,000, as of the time of writing.
The most expensive ticket for this year’s Super Bowl, listed on TicketMaster’s official site, commands a staggering $45,000. To put this in perspective, the cheapest ticket at $6,000 equates to approximately Rs 5 lakh in Indian currency, equivalent to the average annual income of an individual. Meanwhile, the highest-priced ticket at $45,000 amounts to around Rs 37 lakh, seven times the average annual income of an individual in India.
