So, when should I buy 2018 Super Bowl tickets?
It depends on what your budget is, where you want to sit, the type of
person you are and what team you are a fan of. Since the Vikings win
against the Saints in the divisional round, we have seen the average
listing price jump from $3,200 to just over $4,200. The host city
playing in the Super Bowl has never happened before, so if the Vikings
win on Sunday we are in uncharted territory. To be honest, it’s hard to
say exactly how the next few weeks will play out as far as prices are
concerned. Based on the information we have now, here is what we are
advising as of 1/15/17.
If you are a fan of the Minnesota Vikings, and
are comfortable paying the current prices, you might want to consider
securing your tickets soon. If the Vikings end up reaching the game,
we could see another spike in prices and you run the risk of being
priced out. If they lose to the Eagles you will still be able to resell
your tickets, though it will be at a lower price. Going this route is a
risk, and you should be comfortable taking a loss on reselling the
tickets before moving forward.
If you are a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, you
can afford to be patient. Although an Eagles appearance would keep
prices healthy, prices shouldn’t reach the same level as they would if
the Vikings made it.
If you are a fan of a team in the AFC, you’re
in a precarious position. The NFC team will dictate pricing this year
and, unfortunately, the AFC plays before the NFC. You can wait to decide
to purchase until your team wins, but many of your fellow fans will be
doing the same and prices will remain high until the NFC Championship is
decided, at which point they will trend up (Vikings) or down (Eagles).
Ultimately, you need to make a decision that you are most comfortable
with.
