The Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas is attracting fans from all over the world, with ticket buyers on StubHub coming from every U.S. State and 16 countries. The demand for this game at Allegiant Stadium has made it the best-selling Super Bowl on StubHub since 2020. The average purchase price ticket was $8,800, and over 50% of tickets were sold between January 29 and February 5. Californians lead in ticket purchases, with 40% supporting the Niners, outpacing Chiefs fans with 21-2. The cheapest ticket is $5,300, a 20% decrease from peak pricing after the conference championship games.
According to StubHub spokesperson Adam Budelli, “The average ticket price, right now, is hovering around $9,500 and that is for ticket prices sold. When compared to the last 49ers, Chiefs, sales are already outpacing the Miami Super Bowl by 175% and sales compared to last year in Phoenix are up 93%.” Prices for Super Bowl 58 tickets on StubHub ranged from $5000 to $10000. The inflated prices are attributed to the first Las Vegas Super Bowl and the popularity of the participating teams, the 49ers and the Chiefs. Besides the StubHub ticket sales, tickets directly from the league are priced at a minimum of $8,500 before fees. When fees are included, the cost of the tickets exceeds $10,000. These tickets come with additional benefits such as live entertainment and other perks.
The Allegiant Stadium has a capacity of 65,000, however, looking at the tickets sold and the popularity of the Super Bowl game, it could be further extended as per the requirement.
Meanwhile, for the people who have purchased the tickets or are about to purchase, there is some best advice for them.

Fans looking to buy tickets on the secondary market should avoid cash transactions and buy from reputable services. Purchasing single tickets may offer better prices than group tickets. Once secured, refrain from posting barcodes on social media to prevent scams.
StubHub also advises verifying the reliability of the ticket source and suggests considering single tickets for better value. For people who haven’t bought the tickets yet, purchasing them this week might provide you the advantage of lower prices on the sale. Fans can buy tickets from stubhub.com.
