Super Bowl enthusiasm soars alongside ticket prices
(KBSI) – The Kansas City Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas on Sunday, February 11.
As the fan’s enthusiasm soars, so do the ticket prices.
Super Bowl LVIII is already proving to be one of the most expensive.
As of Monday morning, the cheapest ticket price for the game was $8,188, which is 51% more expensive than the price last year.
According to StubHub, the most expensive ticket listed is more than $85,000 and includes a VIP package.
The Super Bowl being in Las Vegas could also drive up the cost of attending since it’s a major tourist destination.
There’s no denying that Taylor Swift’s presence at this year’s big game will also impact the prices, as she cheers on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce.
The singer has already helped break NFL viewership records. Last week’s playoff game between the Chiefs and Bills was the most watched divisional playoff game in NFL history.
Airlines are also seizing on the hype. American Airlines and United are both adding special flights between Kansas City and Las Vegas with special flight numbers like 1989, a nod to the year Swift was born and the name of her most popular album.
