The Kansas City Chiefs might make history this weekend, but ticket prices aren’t reflecting that.
The cheapest ticket for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans has fallen below $4,000 on the secondary market, according to reseller TickPick, marking a 30% decline over the past week — and more than 50% cheaper compared to last year’s record-breaking Super Bowl.
The Chiefs, who face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, are hoping to be the first team to win three successive Super Bowl rings. Despite that historic feat on the line, fans apparently aren’t excited to splash out big bucks.
There are a few potential reasons related to this year’s host city — and perhaps a slight dose of Chiefs fatigue.
Last year’s matchup between the Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers was the most expensive Super Bowl on record, partly because it took place in the party mecca of Las Vegas for the first time. However, New Orleans “doesn’t have the same appeal” as Las Vegas, TickPick CEO Brett Goldberg said.
New Orleans’ larger seating capacity is pushing prices lower as well, Goldberg said. The Caesars Superdome holds about 74,000 seats, whereas the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas holds around 65,000 seats. The host city is also still reeling from a terrorist attack last month when a man drove a pickup truck into a crowd and opened fire, killing 14 people and injuring at least 35.
Then there’s the matchup itself. Football fans are bored by a third straight Chiefs Super Bowl bid, resulting in TickPick “seeing less interest from fans looking to attend,” Goldberg told CNN. “Had the Detroit Lions, Washington Commanders or Buffalo Bills made it this far, it’d be a much different story as it relates to current prices.”

I agree except one game in particular. The Patriots comeback against the Atlanta Falcons. The Patriots came back from down 28-3 in the middle of the third quarter.
I remember it well because my father in had come over and left part way into the third quarter. I called him about mid way through the 4th to ask if he was watching. Which he was NOT.
Frankly, ALL of the Patriots Super Bowl victories were close games. Including their first against the Greatest Show on Turf. Where the Rams were heavily favored.
Not so sure that would be a net win. She's still attractive, but her bust ain't her best asset.
Unless maybe she went in for some nipple ornaments like Janet Jackson....
It’s fixed, just like the Taylor Swift “romance.”
Betting is getting too big, IMHO. Soon it’ll be up there with horse racing.
But I will be watching!!!
Except for half time show.
Taylor apparently invested in some recent augmentation.
Her boobs got bigger recently.
She got a boob job.
I haven’t watched many since then. I’m assuming most of those games in recent years were rigged by the NFL because advertisers were refusing to pay top dollar for ad spots late in the game when they saw the risk of having a declining TV audience in the latter stages of a lopsided game.
Good! I hope the Eagles win! And I’m a Commanders fan!
I’m permanently boycotting NFL until they all get on their knees and beg for forgiveness for openly hating and disrespecting America.
Could not care less about missing the Super Bowl.
Prima Donna overpaid idiots.
And Dolphins-Raiders 1974 and Raiders-Colts 1977.
Seems like the script is in. Kansas City will win the Super Bowl. 3-peat!
NOLA is a sh!thole. Went there ONCE. Hated it
THIS^^^^THIS^^^^THIS^^^^THIS^^^^THIS^^^^THIS
Yep, that’s about when I stopped watching. Too little football, too much BS.
Yep. Rigged for Tay Tay fans with more $$$$ the goal.
Think of how many or much xxxxx you could buy for $4,000.

wood

I always say, You Can’t Beat Wood!
“Her boobs got bigger recently.”
Maybe she is pregnant. She is getting close to the wall.
“”Going back watching Super Bowl broadcasts from the 70s and 80s, will really show the difference in presentation.””
In those days, the cameramen would scan through the crowd, and focus on some of the lovely fans.
Those were the days!
ditto
I don’t watch it much but the NFL is more popular than ever.
