Once again, the 2018 Super Bowl saw ticket prices go through the roof. The previous year, fans had paid a get-in price of around $2,700. This year, which saw the Eagles take on the Patriots, the lowest priced tickets set fans back by $3,100 according to StubHub.com<\/a>, making it one of the most expensive Super Bowls in history.<\/p>\n

The huge hike in prices was attributed to the avid Eagles fans determination to secure a seat in the stadium. On the whole, ticket prices were up by a massive 63% year on year, and Eagle fans were at the front of the queue with 14% of the ticket sales on StubHub being traced back to the Pennsylvania area and 11% to Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

2018 Super Bowl Ticket Prices<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2018 Super Bowl was attended by 67,612 people, and the vast majority of them paid a hefty fee for the privilege.<\/p>\n

While tickets for the 2018 Super Bowl in U.S. Bank Stadium,\u00a0Minneapolis, Minnesota were originally released at a face value of just $950, very few fans got their hands on tickets at this price.<\/p>\n

The circa. 67,600 tickets that were initially released for the 2018 game between the Eagles and the Patriots were originally distributed according to the standard NFL practice: 17.5% each to the competing teams, 5% to the team of the host city (the Minnesota Vikings), 34.8% split between the other teams in the league, and the remaining 25.2% to members of the media, fans, and NFL sponsors.<\/p>\n

Following the release of tickets, the Eagles held a lottery to give their most loyal fans a chance to get tickets at face value. However, as we see year after year, a mass surge of tickets soon hit the secondary market and face value was well and truly consigned to the past.<\/p>\n

In the run up to the event, fans who had really deep pockets were shelling out for Super Bowl packages that ranged from $6,599 for tickets to the game and access to the pre-game party scene through to $13,499 for a coveted sideline seat and a ton of high-end perks thrown in for good measure. For those with some serious cash, vividseats.com offered a 20-person VIP suite for over $400,000.<\/p>\n

By game day, the average price was $5,682, making Super Bowl LII the second most expensive ever; only tickets to Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 cost more.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t just the price of tickets that went through the roof. On the day of the Super Bowl itself, some fans paid in excess of $200 per parking lot<\/a> to leave their vehicles near the stadium in a bid to stay out of the cold weather for as long as possible.<\/p>\n
