Super Bowl 57 tickets are costly; consider your source before purchasing

SB tickets range between $5,200 and $41,000 before the Conference Championship games are played

This weekend, tens of millions of Americans will be watching the AFC and NFC Championship games, with teams playing for a chance to go to Super Bowl 57. It’s a hot ticket, so hot that you may want to double-check whether your Super Bowl tickets are authentic. KRPS’s Fred Fletcher-Fierro has more.

Millions love, bet and follow the NFL, although only a few fans attend a Super Bowl, usually due to tickets being very expensive.A search on SeatGeek.com on Thursday(01/26/2023) revealed that the least expensive Super Bowl ticket at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday, February 12, is $5,109.

Pamela Hernandez of the Better Business Bureau has this suggestion when purchasing tickets to any event, large or small.

“BBB recommends consumers purchase tickets directly from the venue whenever possible. Even some of the venues have secondary sales options as well now, so that is going to be your safest bet if it’s directly from the venue.”

Another recommendation when purchasing sports, theater, or concert tickets is to use a credit card. Credit cards offer consumer protections that cash, check or debit do not provide, and you may be able to get a refund even if the tickets are fraudulent. For 89 9 KRPS News, I’m Fred Fletcher-Fierro
