Costs on the secondary-ticket marketplace for Sunday’s Tremendous Bowl in New Orleans are a lot lower than final yr’s large sport and declining, however nonetheless excessive by historic requirements.
The typical value for the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs-Philadelphia Eagles sport at TickPick was $6,552 as of Tuesday. If that quantity holds, it will be that web site’s third highest for a Tremendous Bowl.
Final yr’s sport between the Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers had a median value at that web site of $9,136. The one different Tremendous Bowl to draw a better common value was 4 years in the past when the quantity was $7,046 for Chiefs’ sport towards the hometown Tampa Bay Buccaneers when the group was restricted to 25,000 followers due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The bottom value for this yr’s sport was simply lower than $4,000, which has declined about 30% for the reason that matchup was set.
Gametime stories the same development, additionally noting final yr’s sport had a minimal value of $8,764 shortly earlier than kickoff.
“With final yr’s Vegas hype and 49ers fan frenzy behind us, costs are seeing a pure market correction,” Gametime stated in a press release. “Plus, with no main ‘pent-up’ demand from both fan base, tickets are trying higher than ever.”
The bottom tickets costs at Vivid Seats and StubHub additionally have been lower than $4,000.
TickPick co-CEO Brett Goldberg stated there have been a lot of explanation why ticket costs are notably decrease than final yr.
That sport was the primary in Las Vegas, creating much more fan curiosity than regular. The shut proximity of Allegiant Stadium to the nation’s eighth-busiest airport and Las Vegas Strip leisure corrider that features most of the world’s largest motels contributed to file costs.
Resort capability in New Orleans is extra restricted with about 26,000 rooms within the metropolis heart, and even residence leases are at a premium.
“In case you attempt to go e-book a resort proper now, it’s totally difficult,” Goldberg stated.
One other downside is the matchup.
That is the third Tremendous Bowl in a row for the Chiefs and the second in three years for the Eagles.
“I believe if the Payments gained, you’d’ve seen a really completely different dynamic right here,” Goldberg stated. “There’s part of that (Chiefs) fan base that may afford to go to the Tremendous Bowl thrice, however that is a really small (section of the) fan base that would do this.
“Even the Eagles have somewhat little bit of a fatigue from being at a Tremendous Bowl two years in the past. We’re listening to straight from followers, ‘I went two years in the past. I’m unsure I may pull this off.’ Would they like to go? Certain, however the impracticality on it is a $10,000 journey for 2 turns into very limiting.”
Goldberg stated he hasn’t obtained suggestions that the New Yr’s Day terrorist assault through which 14 individuals have been killed by a motorist on Bourbon Road performed a major half within the value decline.
New Orleans is about to host its eleventh Tremendous Bowl, although first in 12 years.
However the been-there, done-that really feel is one other issue, Goldberg stated, and one Las Vegas may ultimately face as nicely at one level.
“By the point you do it a 3rd time, the stadium will not be as new,” Goldberg stated. “I do assume it may lose a few of its enchantment.”
