“Priceless”. This is how many sports fans would describe the opportunity to see the two best teams on the planet face off. But of course, there is always a price and the cost of attending a landmark event can be truly eye-watering. For NFL fans, the Super Bowl is always the hottest ticket, the chance to see history made and new legends founded. Football fans have to wait four years between World Cups and it is well known that it is difficult to find tickets for the final.

The tickets for the clash between 49ers and Chiefs will become the Most expensive Super Bowl tickets in history, and the cheapest TickPick options currently cost $8,188. This is almost double the price of last year’s tickets and substantially more than the previous record of $7,046, set in 2021. The most expensive tickets available in StubHubthose in the ‘Premium Club Zone’, are currently listed at $44,000.
How much does a ticket to the World Cup final cost?
The most recent World Cup, the 2022 edition in Qatar, took on added importance when Lionel Messi came close to finally lifting the trophy with Argentina. In the final, the Albiceleste faced defending champions France, led by Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain teammate and heir apparent, Kylian Mbappé.

The most expensive tickets for the general public were advertised for $1,600, but only a limited number were available, due to FIFA’s penchant for reserving large areas of the stadium for commercial interests and partner nations.
This meant that most fans had to search through resale sites, where tickets changed hands to hugely inflated sums. The cheapest resale tickets were around $3,000, while ‘Category 1’ options (center seats next to the field) cost more than $30,000.
What’s bigger, the Super Bowl or the World Cup?
The climax of the NFL season has become a major cultural event and hundreds of millions of people in the United States and beyond will tune in to Super Bowl LVIII. This year’s final has the added intrigue of being a rare revengewith the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers repeating the 2020 game.
The World Cup is the biggest international tournament for the world’s most watched sport, soccer, and the four-year cycle adds an extra layer of scarcity to the games. The World Cup brings together 32, soon to be 48, national teams to find the world champions and its almost century of history makes it one of the most storied sporting events on the planet.
Aside from the multidisciplinary Olympic Games, there is no other sporting event that comes close to the global appeal and historical resonance that the Super Bowl and World Cup can offer. Attending either would be a once-in-a-lifetime event for fans, but finding a ticket isn’t easy.
