Super Bowl Ticket Price: Exceeding $15,000 by 2027

The Super Bowl is consistently the highest-priced annual sporting event in the world. This prediction states that the average price of a single ticket on the secondary market (excluding luxury suites) will exceed $15,000 for at least one of the Super Bowl games held before the end of 2027 (LXI or LXII).

Scarcity and Demand Escalation

The high 'Yes' vote reflects the sustained, inelastic demand for the event and the increasing scarcity of supply as the host cities, NFL, and sponsors claim a larger share of prime seats. Factors driving the price escalation include:

  • **Inflation and Wealth:** General economic inflation and the concentration of wealth continue to drive up luxury goods pricing.
  • **Location:** A Super Bowl in a highly desirable or major media market (e.g., Los Angeles, Las Vegas) pushes prices higher.
  • **Matchup:** A highly anticipated matchup between two major franchises with massive national fan bases.

The $15,000 average price point is a logical extrapolation of the current steep price curve.
