Super Bowl Tickets Remain Shockingly Expensive
Fans hoping Super Bowl ticket prices will come down are in for some big disappointment.
The Chiefs and 49ers will battle it out on the field in Las Vegas in Super Bowl LVIII this Sunday, and hype and excitement are through the roof.
Will the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes doom the country and leave them to deal with his wife and T-Swift? Or can Brock Purdy and the 49ers end the circus?
We'll find out this weekend, but what we know for sure is ticket prices are still wildly expensive.
Super Bowl ticket prices are outrageous.
The cheapest ticket on SeatGeek as of publication is $7,693 with fees included, as of publication. That's not the average price.
That's simply the cheapest ticket available to walk through the door at Allegiant Stadium in Sin City.

StubHub spokesperson Adam Budelli told KTNV that prices this year on average are up 93% compared to the Super Bowl last year between the Chiefs and Eagles.
To put it as simply as possible, fans better be ready to open their wallets and spend major cash if they want a seat at Super Bowl LVIII.

Generally speaking, ticket prices spike and then there's usually a bit of a downward slide in the secondary market the closer the game gets.
That's not happening at all right now. Ticket prices are staying high, and multiple tickets are listed for north of $40,000. That's a jaw-dropping amount of money.
You can buy a Tesla for that kind of cash or 2,000 cases of light beer. Choose wisely. Very wisely.

As a source at Sapphire strip club in Vegas told me about preparing for Super Bowl LVIII, the money coming in from San Francisco is outrageous. The tech bros have more money than they can spend and that's driving up costs across the board. Unless you're ready to drop major cash, it might be best to watch from a TV.
