MIAMI — The high prices attached to Super Bowl LIV tickets hasn’t waned. Now the data is beginning to show why.
San Francisco 49ers fans have swamped the market since the NFC title game.
Secondary market titan StubHub collected some staggering data in the first week after the NFL’s championship weekend: As of Monday, Super Bowl ticket sales in California had spiked 206 percent, suggesting a strong swath of buying by 49ers fans. To put that into perspective, that sales acceleration was “3.6 times faster” than the sales spike in Missouri.
Aggregate sales appear to back up that rush of fans, too, with 22 percent of Super Bowl ticket sales coming in California, while Missouri and Kansas (largely representing Kansas City Chiefs fans) has ticked off at 15 percent of the market.
