As the clock winds down towards yet another Super Bowl, the entire NFL is in a state of frenzy. It is without doubt the most exciting annual sporting event in the United States as the top two teams go head to head in the final game of the season to crown the eventual winner.

Super Bowls are supposed to be fun, exciting, and at times thrilling as well. The big event brings about so many levels of emotions across the league’s fanbase, experts, and of course the teams and their staff. The Super Bowl may not be for the lighthearted and only those who are truly crazy about the game go to any lengths to make sure they enjoy a perfect Sunday, whether that is in the cozy confines of their own homes, at bars and restaurants, or even at the stadium.

So, we come to the main question at hand - the Super Bowl tickets. In the article below, we will find out more about whether the two Super Bowl teams get tickets and how tickets are sold and distributed.

Super Bowl Tickets for each team

It is but natural for players from both teams playing in the Super Bowl would want to see their loved ones witness the grand spectacle and have a chance at sharing the feeling of winning the Lombardi Trophy with them. So, what arrangements has the league made to provide tickets for the players?

The answer to this question is that the NFL has included a clause in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) that basically states that each team will allow their players to purchase two tickets every year. However, the catch to this is that if the stadium has a larger capacity of at least 73,200 seats, then 350 tickets will be made available for the players, and if the stadium has less capacity than that mentioned above, then there will be less than 350 tickets for players.

In case players wish to purchase additional tickets then they are allowed to purchase 13 extra tickets but these tickets will have to be bought at face value of which the amount is unknown. The price of the additional tickets will depend on the location of the seats as every section of the stadium has a different price attached to it.

How are the Super Bowl tickets distributed?

The distribution of the Super Bowl tickets is a systematic approach that allows the major portion of ticket distribution to the two teams playing in the biggest game of the year. That means for Super Bowl LVIII, the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs will receive 17% of the tickets which they can distribute as they desire.

In general, the teams use a lottery approach to decide which of their supporters will get the tickets. Of course, season ticket holders receive priority over others. The teams are allowed to distribute their tickets only at face value, and even then the prices are still sky-high.

With the two Super Bowl teams out of the way, a very small portion of the tickets are also made available to the remaining 30 teams in the NFL for them to distribute. However, these tickets are rarely made available to the average fan as they are usually distributed to members associated with the respective teams.

How are tickets to the Super Bowl sold?

For those who did not get tickets from any of the 32 NFL franchises, their best and only remaining hope is to purchase tickets from the resale markets such as Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, and StubHub.

But, one thing to note is that the tickets on the market are extremely overpriced and one may end up paying much more money if they really want to see the Super Bowl at the stadium.
