How to Buy Cheap Super Bowl Tickets

The primary way to buy 2026 Super Bowl tickets cheaply is by buying them from a ticket site that doesn’t charge any hidden fees, because when ticket prices get high, so do the fees that sites like StubHub and Vivid Seats charge to their buyers. You can get guaranteed savings on a site like TickPick, which has no hidden costs and always shows all-in pricing.

We understand that fans should always price shop when purchasing tickets like these. We encourage you to shop for the cheapest Super Bowl ticket prices across multiple sites. Still, ultimately, you’ll want to deal with a company that communicates effectively and can answer your questions.

When looking to buy cheap Super Bowl tickets, three of the biggest things to consider are:

• Which tickets to buy: zone seats vs. specific seats
• When should you buy your tickets: now or later?
• Where to buy your tickets: trust, communication, and price

TickPick offers the best Super Bowl 2026 tickets, the best prices, and the most helpful features of any ticket site. 

Why pay more in Super Bowl ticket fees when you can buy them without hidden fees on TickPick and save hundreds or even thousands of dollars on your order, like in the above example?

What are the Cheapest Seats for the Super Bowl?

The cheapest seats for the Super Bowl are almost always in the Upper Corner sections (sometimes marked as such in zone seating, as seen below on secondary ticket marketplaces like TickPick and others). 

If you find Super Bowl seats that are in better zones like Upper Sideline (closer to midfield) or anything in the lower level at price points relatively close to the cheapest get-ins in the worst upper level sections, you may be getting a great value in terms of seat quality for the price. 

You can also reference our detailed Super Bowl seating chart blog for more information on Super Bowl zone seating.  

Check out the table below, which tracks the cheapest Super Bowl 2026 get-in ticket prices daily leading up to the game, for reference on how sale prices can fluctuate as the game approaches. 

Do Super Bowl Tickets Get Cheaper Closer to the Game?

This is a nuanced question, as various factors impact Super Bowl ticket prices, such as the amount of available ticket inventory, the teams involved in the matchup (how long it’s been since the team has won, if ever, how far fan bases have to travel to the Super Bowl host city, etc.), the allure or draw of the host city (think Las Vegas in 2024) that would attract football fans or wealthy people in general who just want to say they’ve attended the biggest event of the year and more. 

Will Super Bowl tickets get cheaper? While ticket prices tend to drop closer to the event for most football games, it’s hard to say whether this will be the case for this Super Bowl.

The best thing we at TickPick can suggest is to subscribe to our Super Bowl newsletter below for updates that will come in more frequently now that the Seahawks vs. Patriots matchup has been set, and those fans are buying up their tickets for the game.

When is the Best Time to Buy Super Bowl Tickets?

In 2014, I started this Super Bowl guide and our newsletter to help my friends decide when to buy Super Bowl tickets. The answer to this question is: it depends. That said, if you examine historical data in the interactive pricing charts above, you’ll see that the best time to buy is typically 3 to 5 days before the game.

Here is a snippet from our most recent Super Bowl newsletter from Friday, February 6th, three days before the game:

Hey NFL fans,

This is going to be our last newsletter of this Super Bowl cycle, but we have plenty of thoughts about the ticket market to share with before we leave you. 

In our last send on Tuesday the 3rd, we said we’d be surprised if the bottom of the market wasn’t ahead of us rather than in the rearview. We’ve seen get-in prices fall below $4,000 for the first time as more inventory keeps entering the market. As of this writing, the cheapest get-in is $3,705, which is around 15% lower than what we were seeing earlier in the week. 

Generally speaking, pricing movement for both lower premium seats and upper level get-ins move in tandem, and as such, we’re seeing that ticket prices for club seating sections have also come down considerably since last week. If you’re willing to spend up a little bit for the biggest game of the year, we’re seeing get-in prices for lower level club seats located between the 30-yard lines are now sub-$10,000 when they were sitting much closer to double that as of last week. From a value perspective, there may be none better than club seats right now.

As we head into Super Bowl weekend, it’s looking like the market for the cheapest get-in seats should continue to drop when factoring in the inventory movement we’re seeing. 

The reason prices have gotten to where they are is because we’ve seen inventory continuing to come online, keeping levels close to that ~4,000 tickets range. We’re just now finally starting to see inventory levels drop into the 3,400 range.

Based on how this market has played out thus far, we’re expecting around 40-50% of our total sales to come through within the next 48 hours. While it seems that there is more room for prices to come down, there are no guarantees. 

So as we’ve said all along, if you find a deal that you like, it would be best to act quickly, because inventory levels from this point forward are bound to change consistently, and volatility in pricing could follow suit.

Usually, Super Bowl tickets get cheaper as the game approaches. Data from a New York Times article suggests that prices are at their highest right after the conference championship games, when fans’ spirits and BACs (blood alcohol content levels) are still high.

Ticket prices typically continue to fall as the two-week period ends; however, this is not guaranteed. We suggest signing up for our Super Bowl newsletter and referring to our blog on Super Bowl ticket pricing for more information.

With prices changing daily, the answer to this question can change constantly. Still, you can follow our newsletter and download the TickPick app to use our Track Prices feature that helps you find the cheapest Super Bowl tickets available at any given time.

Current Super Bowl Ticket Prices

As it stands, Super Bowl ticket prices have been steadily declining since peaking on Thursday, January 29th. This doesn’t necessarily mean the trend will continue; however, ticket inventory levels have remained strong over the past five days, which has helped us get to where we are now.

Plenty of fans are waiting things out, so prices could see a pop in the day before and day of the game. Refer to our newsletter for more detailed Super Bowl ticket pricing information. 

How to Get Super Bowl Tickets

There are other ways to obtain cheap Super Bowl tickets besides buying on the secondary market. Some NFL season ticket holders and fans may be lucky enough to win a lottery that allows them to purchase affordable Super Bowl tickets at face value, though most of those fans will likely be part of the host stadium’s team.

Your chances as a season ticket holder are based on several criteria, including whether or not your team is in the big game, the type of season tickets you own, the number of seats owned, and the number of seasons you’ve owned those seats.

In years past, and for Super Bowl tickets, the NFL operated a lottery system that allowed a lucky few to purchase tickets at face value. However, this system changed for Super Bowls 52 and 53. Most of those tickets have now been allocated to NFL On Location, which often sells tickets at prices above secondary-market value. 

If you are one of the lucky winners of a Super Bowl seat, you’ll get to pick up your tickets on game day or have your mobile tickets emailed to you. 

No matter what combination of variables applies to you, here’s what we recommend:

• Regularly monitor Super Bowl 60 tickets on this blog and via TickPick’s Super Bowl Newsletter
• Familiarize yourself with our Super Bowl seating chart for Levi’s Stadium
• Be ready to pull the trigger at any time (if you find something you like, act)
• Talk to one of our customer service specialists here at TickPick. Phone #: 845-538-4567 or Email: [email protected]
