The NFL controls the distribution of Super Bowl tickets.
Here’s how the National Football League distributes their Super Bowl tickets:
Super Bowl teams LA Rams & New England Patriots share 35% – 17.5% each, majority given to season ticket holders & players.
Host team Atlanta Falcons gets 6.2% – majority distributed to season ticket holders.
Remaining 28 teams share 33.6% – 1.2% for each team distributed to players, media, partners etc.
NFL retains 25.2% – tickets are typically sold to partners, media and sponsors.
However, the NFL changed the allocation of Super Bowl tickets in 2017 and that will carry over into 2019. In 2017, they announced that they are going to allocate 6,000 tickets away from the teams playing in the Super Bowl to the NFL On Location Experience company. NFL On Location is a fancy name for a concierge service which will be selling Super Bowl packages for above face value (and potentially above market value as well).
VIPTIX offers similar Super Bowl packages at far more reasonable prices. This is VIPTIX.com 26th year. We will have an on-site Super Bowl office in Atlanta all during Super Bowl week.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) — Tickets for Sunday’s Bills Wild Card game in Jacksonville are going fast. While the game is sold out, some tickets are available on the secondary market.
It’s going to be an expensive trip. As just about everybody in Western New York knows, it will be the first Bills playoff game since the 1999 season. It will also be the Jaguars first home playoff game since that same year. That means ticket demand is high, and supply is low.
Sunday’s drama has also been good for merchandise sales at Laux in the Boulevard Mall.
“It’s been actually good,” said manager Joe Eckl. “A lot of happy people are in today, which is what we like to see.”
That mirrors the scene at 716 Sunday night, after a Bills win and a Baltimore Ravens loss clinched a Buffalo Wild Card berth against Jacksonville Sunday at 1pm. The game will air on CBS and News 4.
“My cell phone blew up yesterday with text messages,” said Nick Giammusso, president of VIP Tix.
In most of those messages, people were asking Giammusso how to score tickets for Sunday’s game. He says the cheapest ticket you’ll find as of Monday afternoon is $285.
“Bills fans just aren’t used to the demand,” Giammusso said. “Let’s face is, the team has not been very good. A couple weeks ago the story was there were $3 buffalo bills tickets. Fast forward two weeks, and the Bills are in the playoffs.”
Staff members for the Jaguars say all tickets for the game are being delivered to mobile devices. So if someone tries selling a paper ticket, it is likely fake.
Of course, Western New Yorkers with tickets will also have to get to Jacksonville.
“Maybe if you drive, maybe it would be a little bit more economical for you,” explained Angela Wawrzynek, travel sales and operations manager for AAA. “As far as if you wanted to fly, you’re looking at probably about $3,000 for two people to go for the weekend.”
That price includes travel, hotel, and game ticket costs. If you’re thinking about going, Wawrzynek suggest you make the decision soon.
“You’ll probably be getting in your car and hopefully the weather will work out for you, and you’re going to drive down to Jacksonville,” she said. “But the immediacy on this, because it is next weekend, is you really have to make your decision (Monday, Tuesday at the very latest).”
