Super Bowl ticket prices just plunged below $3,400 hours before kickoff tonight. The New England Patriots face the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara as prices dropped dramatically this week.

🔥 Quick Facts

  • Cheapest Ticket: $3,217.50 on Ticketmaster as of game day
  • Price Decline: Average get-in price dropped 17 percent from beginning of week
  • Record High: Average price hit nearly $8,900 before falling to $7,000 on game day
  • Kickoff Time: 3:30 PM PST today at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara

Why Ticket Prices Collapsed This Week

Super Bowl LX tickets experienced a dramatic free fall as the game approached. According to multiple ticket-tracking platforms, prices fell sharply over the final days with SeatGeek, TickPick, and other resale sites all reporting significant drops. The cheapest upper-level seats on SeatGeek cost just $3,727, while TickPick showed get-in pricing around $3,435.

Ticket resale platforms typically see prices decrease as game time approaches. Many sellers drop their asking prices to unload seats rather than lose the opportunity to sell entirely. This year, the effect has been particularly dramatic.

Record-Breaking Average Price Before the Plunge

Earlier this week, Super Bowl LX commanded record-setting average prices. The average get-in price rose to nearly $8,900, making it one of the priciest Super Bowls ever. This ranked as the second-highest average price on record, behind the 2024 Chiefs vs. 49ers matchup in Las Vegas which averaged roughly $9,800.

The Patriots-Seahawks pairing generated intense demand. By game day, however, prices retreated to just over $7,000, still expensive but far below the record highs set just days earlier.

Cheapest Tickets by Platform

Ticketmaster $3,217.50

Should You Buy Tonight, Or Wait Until Last Minute?
