Cowboys Stadium, the host of Super Bowl 45
All you ever hear about is how expensive it is to buy Super Bowl tickets off of StubHub, a website where fans resell tickets to each other. These tickets normally go for many thousands of dollars more than the face value of a ticket, which is between $600 and $1,200 this year.
So who actually gets tickets at face value?
About 75% of the tickets are distributed through the individual NFL teams. In this year, each the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers each receive 17.5% of the total tickets (over 16,000 tickets per team). The teams are then free to run a random lottery amongst their ticket holders for the right to purchase Super Bowl tickets.
The home team, the Dallas Cowboys receive 5% of the tickets, and the remaining 29 NFL teams get the remaining 35% of the tickets. Each team runs their own lottery system to see who gets the right to purchase these tickets.
The last 25% of the tickets are made available to the NFL charities, corporate sponsor, and other interests.
If you aren't able to get into the stadium, you may purchase a ticket to watch the game outside on a big screen for $200.
How much does it cost to watch it in my living room?
