As for tickets to Super Bowl XLIX, SeatGeek says the cost is actually down this year over the last few Super Bowls.
According to the sports ticket analysis, the average resale price of a Super Bowl ticket is $2,764, which is the lowest in five years. SeatGeek blames "Super Bowl fatigue," noting New England fans are seeing their team in the big game for the 6th time in 14 years.
Right now, the floor price for Super Bowl XLIX is $1,800 for upper level. If you want to sit on the 50-yard line, it will cost you $11,500.
