New Orleans, LA – With the Kansas City Chiefs chasing a historic three-peat and President Donald Trump set to attend, one would expect Super Bowl LIX ticket prices to soar. However, in a surprising trend, prices have dropped significantly, marking the steepest decline since Super Bowl LIII in 2019.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the cheapest available tickets were selling for $4,122 each on secondary markets, threatening to fall below $4,000 for the first time in years. Data from ticketIQ shows a 35% price drop in the last nine days, with the average ticket listing now at $7,409—down 33% from the post-conference championship pricing.

A Historic Super Bowl Setting

Super Bowl LIX, set to take place Sunday at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, is making history in two ways. The Chiefs aim to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls in the post-merger era. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump will be the first sitting U.S. president to attend the game, adding a new level of security to the event.

The U.S. Secret Service has been present in New Orleans for the past week, coordinating with local authorities to enhance security. “Extensive planning and coordination have been in place to ensure the safety of all attendees, players, and staff,” said Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi. Despite the heightened security presence, ticket demand has not surged as some expected.

Why Are Ticket Prices Falling?

A mix of factors could be contributing to the decline in ticket prices:

• Chiefs vs. Eagles Rematch: The Chiefs and Eagles faced off in Super Bowl LVII just two years ago, which the Chiefs won 38-35. Rematches tend to generate less excitement among fans unless the rivalry is legendary or features teams with massive nationwide appeal.
• Chiefs Fan Fatigue: Kansas City has played in five of the last six Super Bowls, leading to what some brokers call a “Chiefs hangover.” Fans who have spent thousands attending previous Super Bowls may be less eager to do so again.
• Mahomes’ Youth Factor: Unlike Tom Brady’s late-career Super Bowl appearances, Patrick Mahomes is still young, and many fans believe there will be more opportunities to see him in future Super Bowls.

With ticket prices continuing to slide, fans and brokers now wonder: Will they drop even further before game day? For those still considering a last-minute trip, this may be one of the best times to buy.
