It's the biggest annual event in sports. Celebrities everywhere, over 100 million fans watching across the world and one of the toughest tickets in sports. This is the Super Bowl and nothing quite measures up to it.
While only two teams make it, seeing a Super Bowl in person — regardless of the matchup — is a bucket list item that transcends the actual game itself. Planning starts early and often if fans want to be one of the lucky ones and score a trip to the game.
Interested? Here's a complete guide to everything to know about Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans, from tickets to bag policy to stadium transportation.
The distribution of Super Bowl tickets goes through the NFL in three ways.
First, the league allocates a certain portion of passes to the playing teams, who then distribute them to fans and supporters. Then, another batch of tickets is given to the remaining teams in the league. Lastly, fans may be selected for tickets through a prize draw.
Of course, none of those pathways offer a guarantee. If you don't want to risk it, you can turn to secondary ticket market sites like StubHub to find passes for the big game.
It's no secret Super Bowl tickets are some of the most expensive passes for sporting events. In 2024, the cheapest price of a ticket on StubHub was $6,600 while the most expensive was $22,000.
The game may be one of the few events in sports where teams don't change the cost of tickets; everyone wants to be at the game regardless of the matchup. So whether you look at passes now or in February, they're going to be (relatively) expensive either way.
