How Will I Receive My Super Bowl Tickets?
In years past, TickPick had a pickup location that was always close to the game’s stadium. This year, TickPick will not have an in-person presence in the Bay Area (greater San Francisco market) for Super Bowl 60.
This is because SB tickets will be mobile-only transfer this season, not hard stock as in the past, meaning in-person pickup won’t be necessary for Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California.
This is a safe delivery method that ensures the buyer receives the only QR code for that ticket, which cannot be duplicated.
This also should make it a much smoother process for buying electronic Super Bowl tickets on the actual game day, given fans won’t have to worry about picking up tickets at a specific location, and can instead remain close to the stadium near the parking lots and head right into the venue once they receive their ticket transfer.
How Many Super Bowl Tickets Are There?
While the typical capacity at Levi’s Stadium is 68,500, the venue can accommodate up to 75,000 for special events like the Super Bowl.
Capacity and the number of tickets available to the public are two very different things; however, as a large number of Super Bowl packages and tickets are allocated to season ticket members at Levi’s Stadium, large corporations, sponsors, and others.
Where are Super Bowl Zone Seats?
Many sellers have access to Super Bowl tickets but are not told the exact location until much closer to the game. Instead, they are given a zone, an area of sections where the tickets will be. See our Super Bowl Seating Chart Guide, which includes details regarding all of the zone sections.
Some sellers don’t know which Super Bowl game tickets they’ll receive, and the “zones” vary depending on where you look. This logic also applies to Super Bowl luxury suites, in some cases. The Super Bowl seating chart blog above provides a full breakdown of the Super Bowl zones at Levi’s Stadium.
What are the Zones for Super Bowl Tickets?
Some sellers don’t actually know which exact seats they’re going to receive until the league allocates Super Bowl tickets to buyers and any season ticket holder who was lucky enough to secure seats, which generally doesn’t happen until a week or two prior to the game itself, so secondary ticket sites allow for these established and trusted ticket brokers to sell their tickets as “zones.”
For example, if you were browsing ticket listings and couldn’t find tickets in a specific section, but instead saw a listing marked “Upper Endzone,” it would mean your seats could ultimately be in the highest level, as outlined below for all Super Bowl zones.
Can Super Bowl Tickets Be Shipped in the Mail?
They cannot. With FedEx or any other shipping option, you risk losing tickets that cannot be reissued. Over many years, we’ve found that mobile transfer is the safest approach for NFL fans.
The good news is that nearly all Super Bowl tickets will be delivered electronically to the buyer’s mobile phone, which prevents fraud and the risk of tickets being lost in the mail.
Why Do Some Seller Notes Say “Ship By?”
In the seller’s notes, you may see someone say tickets will ship by 2/7/26, that is just standard terminology; tickets will be transferred electronically no later than the day before Super Bowl Sunday.
What Items Can You Bring Into the Super Bowl?
At the Super Bowl, security will be tight, and fans will be required to pass through a metal detector before entering the stadium.
