It's hard to believe, but with less than two weeks until Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, NFL fans might be in for a bit of a surprise: ticket prices are actually lower than in recent years.

That's right, even with a potential history-making showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles on the horizon, you might just find yourself with a slightly cheaper seat than expected.
NFL history could be on the line, as the defending champion Chiefs, led by the unstoppable Patrick Mahomes, have their eyes set on becoming the first team in league history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Meanwhile, the Eagles, with MVP candidate Saquon Barkley leading the charge, are hungry for redemption after a painful loss to Kansas City in Super Bowl LVII, aiming to bring the Lombardi Trophy back to Philly for the first time since 2018.
As for the prices? Well, brace yourself.
As of Tuesday afternoon, tickets to Super Bowl LIX are going for anywhere from $5,499 (plus fees) for a seat in the nosebleeds to a jaw-dropping $20,000 for a prime spot just three rows from the field.
To put that in perspective, the average ticket price this time last year was about $11,000.
The Chiefs and Eagles have been at the top of the heap for a while now, and while they've got star power, it's hard to ignore the occasional grumbling from fans wanting to see a bit more variety in the Super Bowl matchups.
Still, if you're thinking of heading down to The Big Easy, don't expect to grab a bargain just yet. NFL experts suggest waiting until about a week before the game, when ticket sellers start scrambling to offload their seats.
But don't get too comfortable—these tickets still won't come cheap. Super Bowl LIX kicks off on Sunday, Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m. ET.
