There’s good news and bad news when it comes to the ticket prices for Super Bowl 59.
The good news? It won’t be cost as much as last year. The bad news? It’s still take thousands of dollars to get into and is near the top of most expensive games in Super Bowl history.
Arguably the grandest sporting event in the U.S. each year, hundreds of millions of people tune in to see who will be NFC champions, with thousands more able to view the title game inside the stadium − for quite the price. This year’s game features the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, and there are plenty of storylines from Kansas City’s quest for a historic three-peat to Philadelphia’s plan for revenge in the Super Bowl 57 rematch. In short, there’s plenty of reasons to want to attend the game in-person, and it will cost a hefty penny to watch inside the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
‘A lot of excitement,’ Adam Budelli, StubHub spokesperson, told USA TODAY Sports. ‘Tickets are moving.’

Why are Super Bowl 2025 tickets so expensive?
Super Bowl ticket prices have continued to climb as the years have gone on, and several factors, from who the teams are and their history in title games, could help the cost fluctuate. But one reason they are slightly cheaper than last year is because the 2024 game was in Las Vegas.
‘Vegas is such an approachable city across the country, regardless of what your fan base is,’ Budelli said, adding it was the first time the title game was played in the Sin City.
However, there are some reasons why this year’s game isn’t too far from the prices of last season. It is a Super Bowl 57 rematch, giving Philadelphia fans a chance to get revenge on the team that beat them in 2023. On the flip side, Kansas City could become the first team in league history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
‘For a chance to see your team be the first ever to win three-straight Super Bowls, there’s a lot of different reasons why the Chief fans are going to show up in strong numbers,’ Budelli said. ‘Philadelphia in general, it’s fair to say that’s a tremendous sports town. They support their teams all the way throughout the regular season, and it’s really no different than how they show up in the postseason.’
The game being played in New Orleans also aids to the demand. One of the top tourist cities in the country, there will be plenty of buzz with events taking place around the city’s famed Bourbon Street. Budelli added it’s common for people to go to the host city and enjoy the festivities before deciding whether to buy tickets for the game.
Super Bowl 59 ticket trends
About 24 hours after the teams in the Super Bowl were determined, there’s been a heavy flock of Pennsylvania residents booking their tickets to the game. Both StubHub and SeatGeek reported fans in the state are responsible for the most of the out-of-state purchases. StubHub added this is also the most demand there has been for a Super Bowl involving the Chiefs.
When is the best time to get tickets for Super Bowl 59?
Ticket prices are typically the highest in the first hours and days following the conference championships due to the teams being known and a major rush to secure tickets. After that initial buzz is gone, then it may be a good time to look at tickets as prices usually drop.
‘Typically we say you want to wait. Let this kind of first 48-72 hours kind of go by, get a sense of where that markets going,’ Budelli said. ‘Realistically, that window is kind of probably anywhere from Wednesday to mid-next week as things should settle.’
But if there’s one thing to avoid doing, is waiting until the last days before the game. In recent years, prices have actually risen one-to-two days before the game.
‘That Friday, Saturday, more and more people will start getting into town, and that’s where some of that anxiety and purchasing is really a matter of supply and demand at that point,’ Budelli said.
One thing to remember when buying tickets for the Super Bowl is to buy from a verified marketplace and since tickets for the game are mobile only, do not buy from anyone trying to sell physical tickets to the game.
