Ticket prices for Super Bowl LX continued to fall sharply on Sunday, just hours before the highly anticipated matchup between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Fans hoping to attend saw the “get-in” price for two tickets drop to $3,361 across major ticketing platforms as of 3 p.m. ET, representing a 22% decrease over the past three days and a 50% decline from prices recorded shortly after the matchup was finalized.
Despite heavy travel and large crowds arriving in the area on Friday and Saturday, ticket prices continued to slide leading up to kickoff. The trend follows a pattern seen in recent Super Bowls, where last-minute price drops allow more fans to access the event.
Ticket pricing trends for Super Bowl LX
According to ticket tracking service TicketData, the cheapest two-ticket bundles across major platforms were: SeatGeek at $3,685, StubHub at $3,679, Vivid Seats at $3,296, and Ticketmaster at $3,510. These figures reflect a notable shift from January 26, when prices ranged above $6,600 for the same seating.
The decline mirrors patterns seen in previous Super Bowls. Two years ago, during Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, initial prices reached more than $7,000 shortly after matchups were confirmed, eventually peaking at an average of nearly $8,900 before falling slightly on game day. Last year, in New Orleans, prices dropped to an average of $2,109 on game day due in part to limited hotel capacity and waning local demand.
Historical context and team milestones
For Seattle, this marks the team’s first Super Bowl appearance since their XLIX loss to the Patriots in Glendale, Arizona, 11 years ago. New England, meanwhile, is making its first Super Bowl appearance in the post-Tom Brady era, highlighting a new chapter under coach Mike Vrabel. Super Bowl LX is also the first title game hosted at Levi’s Stadium since Super Bowl 50 in 2016.
Fan experience and game day highlights
Alongside ticket news, each Super Bowl venue continues to elevate the game day experience with elaborate and often costly menu items. This year, fans can expect themed creations such as the $180 “LX Burger,” reflecting a growing trend in Super Bowl culture where food and entertainment enhance the spectacle beyond the game itself.
Analysts also note that Seattle enters as a 4.5-point favorite to defeat New England, a line that has remained consistent across major sportsbooks for the past week. Fans attending in person are expected to witness a high-energy matchup complemented by a larger-than-ever halftime show and immersive stadium experiences.
Last-minute ticket opportunities
For those still seeking tickets, the price drop represents a unique opportunity to attend the Super Bowl at a lower cost than in prior weeks. While the get-in price may still be steep, last-minute availability is allowing more fans to join in person, particularly at venues like Levi’s Stadium with ample seating capacity.
Overall, the Super Bowl LX ticket market reflects the balancing act of supply, demand, and fan enthusiasm. With high-profile teams, post-Brady storylines, and a memorable game day menu, this year’s championship promises excitement both on and off the field.
