Zona de Azar USA – Record-Breaking Ticket Prices for Las Vegas’ Inaugural Super Bowl Unveiled
USA.- February 1 2024 www.zonadeazar.com Las Vegas’ inaugural Super Bowl is causing a surge in prices on the secondary ticket market. Tickets on at least one secondary-market platform reached historic highs on Monday, highlighting the excitement surrounding the debut of the game in Las Vegas, featuring the defending champion and arguably the most popular team in the West.
There’s also a significant possibility that Taylor Swift will be present when the Kansas City Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 11.
As of Monday morning, the average purchase price on TickPick stood at $9,815. This is nearly double the final average price of $5,795 for last year’s game between the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles in Glendale, Arizona, although current prices may fluctuate.
This figure surpasses the previous high of $7,046 for the 2021 game in Tampa, Florida, between the Buccaneers and the Chiefs, which was held at 33% capacity due to COVID-19 restrictions, intensifying the demand for each ticket.
TickPick’s highest non-COVID Super Bowl was in 2020 in Miami Gardens, Florida, when the Chiefs and Niners faced off for the championship game, with an average price of $6,370.
The least expensive ticket on TickPick for this year’s game was $8,188 on Monday, exceeding the $5,997 low price at this same point last year.
Brett Goldberg, co-CEO of TickPick, remarked, “Location has always impacted demand for a Super Bowl, but Vegas takes things to a whole other level. It’s already the entertainment capital of the world and could very well become the sports capital of the world after the Super Bowl. With both teams having made at least one Super Bowl appearance in the past five years, we would typically expect there to be slight fatigue from fans, causing prices to dip. Instead, we’re seeing demand hit record highs, and a big driver is that fans want to experience their team winning a Super Bowl in Vegas.”
StubHub is experiencing a similar surge in demand, with an average ticket price of $9,300 on Monday, although this trails the Super Bowl two years ago. At the same time, the average was $9,797 for the game in Inglewood, California, when the hometown Los Angeles Rams faced the Cincinnati Bengals.
The lowest-priced ticket on StubHub for this year’s game was $6,500.
Sales on StubHub are 90% higher than last year at this time and 147% higher than the 2020 meeting between Kansas City and San Francisco.
The convenient location for 49ers fans is contributing to the demand, with California residents accounting for 26% of tickets sold on StubHub, surpassing the combined tickets sold to those in Nevada (8%) and Kansas or Missouri (7%).
“As predicted, the first Super Bowl in Vegas is seeing strong numbers. Sales are nearly double this time last year, and early demand has far surpassed the last time Kansas City and San Francisco met in Miami,” stated StubHub spokesman Adam Budelli.
