Super Bowl 50 setting ticket price records
With ticket prices soaring in the days before the big game, Super Bowl 50 is on track to be the most expensive ticket ever on record.
Some naysayers were quick to declare the Panthers/Broncos match-up a dud, saying the two teams were not the most marketable.
But figures released Sunday by ticket tracking site “Seat-Geek” report that the average ticket price for super Bowl 50 is just shy of $5,000.
That puts the average ticket to this event at several hundred dollars more than the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight last spring, and far pricier than tickets to Super Bowl 49, a previous record holder.
Other analysts point out that the game’s proximity to Silicon Valley was the real deciding factor, with plenty of wealthy software industry types stepping forward to drive up ticket prices.
