The cheapest, face-value ticket for the 2024 Super Bowl was $2,000 directly from the NFL, a price fans could only pay if they won the chance to purchase them via an official lottery system. Some might argue that the demand and value of an event like this is worth that price; however, regular season game tickets across several professional sports have also skyrocketed beyond rationality in recent years.

When WNBA franchise tickets went on sale for the Indiana Fever, prices doubled within minutes, making certain nosebleed seats cost over $200.
