Ticket prices for Super Bowl 59 are plummeting, with the lowest-priced seats around $3,500. That is significantly down from last year’s prices, however outrageous they may be in real terms.
Some attribute the drop to “Chiefs fatigue,” with Kansas City headed to their fifth Super Bowl in six seasons. Their less-than-glamorous opponents, the Philadelphia Eagles, aren’t helping matters.
Not even anger over the heels in this script – the Chiefs, complete with WWE-esque special guest referees helping them along the way – are seemingly helping to generate interest.
The Super Bowl as recently as 2023 featured the same exact teams.
“On Monday, get-in pricing for the big game sat around $4,600 for a ticket,” The Sun reports. “While that is still a hefty price for a football game, it is down thousands from last year. At this point last year, entry-level Super Bowl tickets were sitting at over $7,000.”
That’s a pretty hefty discount in percentage terms.
Super Bowl Ticket Prices Plummet
The decline in Super Bowl ticket prices seems to be across the board with multiple ticketing outlets. A current search demonstrates this when compared to research by the Action Network this past Monday. Here is the comparison:
- Stub Hub (Monday Low/High – $4,753/$52,073) – (Thursday Low/High – $3,587/$12,662)
- Ticketmaster (Monday – $5,995/$49,000) – (Thursday – $4,400/$17,042)
- Seat Geek (Monday – $5,293/$49,434) – (Thursday – $3,830/$43,016)
Granted, these prices are still utterly insane for the average fan, but I suppose if you have a few grand lying around, now’s the time to try and find yourself a bargain.
It’s probably less than what the league is paying their refs anyway.
I kid! I kid, because I care, Chiefs fan.

Lack Of Interest
We warned you, NFL. Sure, the league is over the moon about the Chiefs-Eagles matchup, as it gives them an opportunity to oversaturate your TV screens with the Kelce brothers some more, not to mention their push to make Taylor Swift a storyline.
But the rest of the world isn’t nearly as enamored.
Overexposure tends to quickly turn admiration into annoyance, and unfortunately, that seems to be the case with the Kelces and Tay Tay, with the Super Bowl ticket prices as evidence.
It doesn’t help that the NFL has a problem with fans – and players – genuinely believing the league and their officials helped the Chiefs get this far. Players and fans of the Houston Texans and the Buffalo Bills have been griping for weeks.
It’s become such an issue that players on the Chiefs have had to deny favoritism by the refs publicly.
What do you guys think? Are you hyped for Super Bowl 59? Planning on getting tickets?
