Over the years, prices have seen significant increases. For example, at Super Bowl
At Super Bowl XXXI in 1997, the ticket cost was $275 ($530 adjusted), and for Super Bowl XLIII in 2009, where the first average ticket price of $1,000 was established, tickets would currently be worth $1,453.
Until this year, the record for the cost of tickets in the regular market belonged to Super Bowl LIV in 2020, with an average ticket price of $6,327, when the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers at Hard Rock Stadium from Miami, Florida.
