Tickets to Super Bowl 2024 are the most expensive ever, Seat Geek says
The 2024 Super Bowl matchup is set — the San Francisco 49ers will play the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas on Sunday, Feb. 11. The game will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+, but if you want to see the game in person, you’ll have to shell out a pretty penny. The average ticket price is a whopping $12,082 on Seat Geek, a ticket resale website.
Of the current listings on the site, the cheapest ticket was $9,858, Seat Geek told CBS News via email on Monday.
The average Super Bowl ticket price about two weeks ahead of the game is up 36% from the same time period last year, and Seat Geek believes the location is part of the draw.
A similar trend has been seen when other metropolitan travel destinations were chosen to host the big game. In 2022, Los Angeles not only hosted but their home team, the Rams, was in the Super Bowl, and average ticket prices reached $10,322.
And in 2021, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played in their home stadium against the Chiefs, the average ticket price for the game — which had reduced capacity that year due to COVID restrictions — was $11,840.
Here are the average resale ticket prices for the past five Super Bowl games, 13 days before the event, according to Seat Geek:
-
2023 Super Bowl LVII (Chiefs vs. Eagles), Glendale, Arizona — $8,907
-
2022 Super Bowl LVI (Rams vs. Bengals), Los Angeles, California — $10,322
-
2021 Super Bowl LV (Buccaneers vs. Chiefs), Tampa, Florida — $11,840 (reduced capacity)
-
2020 Super Bowl LIV (Chiefs vs. 49ers), Miami, Florida — $6,569
-
2019 Super Bowl LIII (Patriots vs. Rams), Atlanta, Georgia — $5,329
Seat Geek is a part of the NFL’s Officially Licensed Ticketing Platforms, to assure customers their tickets are authentic.
Ticketmaster, the Official Ticket Marketplace of the NFL, shows the lowest price for tickets is currently $8,333. The best seat on that site is currently going for $47,500.
While Super Bowl ticket prices usually spike right after the conference championship games, which were played on Sunday, they tend to decline as the big event approaches, according to Seat Geek.
Much of the interest in these tickets is coming from a few locations: according to Seat Geek, 27% of the sales came from California, 13% from Texas, 10% from Nevada, 7% from Kansas City and 5% from Florida.
The 49ers have played in seven previous Super Bowls and won five times in the 1980s and 90s. Their last appearance was in 2019, when they lost to the Chiefs. This year, quarterback Brock Purdy is leading them into Super Bowl LVIII.
Defending champions the Chiefs are lead by quarterback MPV Patrick Mahomes — already a two-time Super Bowl MVP. The team gained even wider attention this year when Taylor Swift, who is dating tight end Travis Kelce, began attending games, drawing eyeballs to the box seats where she cheered on the team.
Fans are trying to determine if Swift, who has a concert in Tokyo the day before the Super Bowl, will make it to Las Vegas for the game. It looks like she’d time to make the approximately 13-hour flight with a few hours to spare, but her travel plans are not currently known.
Super Bowl LVIII will be broadcast live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on CBS and Nickelodeon and streaming on Paramount+.

Kamala Harris will speak with “60 Minutes” tomorrow. Here’s what to know for the interview.
Voters will get the chance to hear from Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday as she presents her case for why she should be president in a “60 Minutes” election special.
For decades, “60 Minutes” has featured both Republican and Democratic nominees for presidents, but this year, former President Donald Trump backed out after previously indicating he would be on the show. Correspondent Scott Pelley, who’d been set to interview Trump, will instead travel to Arizona’s Maricopa County, home to more than 60% of Arizona’s voters and a critical battleground in a key swing state.
One thing is certain about the election; with the U.S. deeply involved in both the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, whoever wins on Nov. 5 will become a wartime president.
What Harris will discuss
Israel’s war started one year ago after Hamas launched a surprise terror attack and correspondent Bill Whitaker will discuss the ongoing war with Harris.
Harris will also discuss the economy, immigration, her record as vice president and the differences between herself and Trump.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz will also appear.
Whitaker joined the Democratic ticket on the campaign trail this week to gain insight into their platform’s priorities and values, and what the candidates believe voters should know.
Why Trump pulled out of the “60 Minutes” interview
Leading up to the candidate hour, Trump, through campaign spokespeople, was the first candidate to accept the “60 Minutes” request to be interviewed for the special, according to CBS News. It had been agreed that both candidates would receive equal time during the broadcast.
Trump last sat down with 60 Minutes in 2020. He walked out during the interview with Lesley Stahl. Trump referenced the incident on Tuesday night at a Milwaukee press conference when asked about his decision not to participate in the Oct. 7 “60 Minutes” election special.
“Well, right now, I went to – they came to me and would like me to do an interview, but first I want to get an apology, because the last time I did an interview with them, if you remember, they challenged me on the computer,” Trump said. “They said the ‘laptop from hell’ was from Russia, and I said it wasn’t from Russia. It was from Hunter, and I never got an apology, so I’m sort of waiting. I’d love to do ’60 Minutes.’ I do everything.”
The Republican nominee for president emphasized that he felt he was owed an apology from “60 Minutes.”
“Let’s see if they do it. I wouldn’t mind doing 60,” Trump continued. “I’ve done ’60 Minutes’ a lot.”
In a statement on Tuesday, Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said that Trump’s team had not agreed to an interview.
“Fake News,” Cheung said in a post on X. “60 Minutes begged for an interview, even after they were caught lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop back in 2020. There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in. They also insisted on doing live fact checking, which is unprecedented.”
Previous Trump, Harris appearances on 60 Minutes
Trump previously sat down with “60 Minutes'” Mike Wallace in 1985, Pelley in 2015 and Lesley Stahl twice in 2016, first in July of that year and then again in November of 2016. He also spoke with Stahl again in 2018 and 2020.
Harris previously sat down with Whitaker last year. She also was interviewed by Norah O’Donnell, “CBS Evening News” anchor and “60 Minutes” contributing correspondent, in 2020.
