How to buy Super Bowl 2027 tickets: there is no public onsale — the NFL never sells Super Bowl tickets to the general public. Instead, tickets reach fans through five routes: On Location hospitality packages (the only guaranteed seat you can buy before the teams are known), the NFL Ticket Exchange by Ticketmaster (the official resale marketplace), your team’s season-ticket lottery if your team makes the game, verified resale marketplaces like StubHub and SeatGeek, and team/host allotments. The game is Super Bowl LXI, on Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Everything you need to know — how each route works, when to act, and what to avoid — is below. For what you’ll pay, see our Super Bowl 2027 ticket prices guide.
A note on accuracy: availability and prices are snapshots from October 2026 and move constantly. Verified single tickets for Super Bowl LXI have not yet been released by the NFL.
Why There’s No Public Onsale
Unlike a concert, the Super Bowl has no box office and no general sale date. The NFL distributes tickets itself, and roughly three-quarters of them never touch an open marketplace. The rough distribution is:
| Recipient | Share of tickets |
|---|---|
| The two participating teams (17.5% each) | ~35% |
| The NFL (sponsors, partners, media, broadcast) | ~25% |
| The host team (the Rams, at SoFi Stadium) | ~5% |
| The other NFL clubs | ~1% each |
Most of the participating teams’ allotments go first to players, staff, and season ticket holders — so a genuine fan’s best shot at face-value tickets runs through their own team’s ticket office. Everyone else buys hospitality packages or resale.
Route 1: On Location Hospitality Packages (Book Now)
On Location is the NFL’s official hospitality provider, and it’s the only official source for a guaranteed seat before the teams are decided. Packages bundle a game ticket with premium hospitality — pregame parties, on-field experiences, food and drink, and hotel options.
- Priority Access: On Location offers a refundable $2,500-per-person deposit that secures front-of-the-line access to purchase a Super Bowl LXI package when full packages go on sale. The deposit is fully refundable if you change your mind.
- Best for: fans who want certainty now, regardless of which teams play.
- Reality check: this is the most expensive route — you’re paying for hospitality on top of the ticket. Treat it as a once-in-a-lifetime splurge, not a value play.
Route 2: NFL Ticket Exchange by Ticketmaster (The Official Resale)
The NFL Ticket Exchange, run by Ticketmaster as the NFL’s official resale marketplace, is the safest way to buy single tickets from other fans. Every ticket is verified, and all Super Bowl tickets are 100% mobile — delivered to your phone, easily transferable to your group.
- Timing: Ticketmaster confirms that verified single tickets for Super Bowl LXI have not been released by the NFL yet (October 2026). Inventory grows after tickets are distributed to clubs in late January 2027.
- Deadline advantage: listings stay live up to 60 minutes after kickoff, so it’s genuinely possible to buy on game day.
- Best for: anyone who wants verified tickets with buyer protection and is willing to wait for inventory.
Route 3: Team Allotments & Season-Ticket Lotteries
Each conference champion receives about 17.5% of the house — roughly 12,000 tickets at SoFi Stadium’s 70,000+ capacity — and the bulk of fan-facing tickets go to season ticket holders via lottery or priority tiers. If your team reaches Super Bowl LXI:
- Watch for your team’s ticket office email immediately after the conference championship games (late January 2027) — lottery windows can close within 48 hours.
- Have your account login and payment details ready before the announcement.
- Expect strict limits — typically two tickets per selected account.
This is the only realistic route to something near face value, but it only opens if your team makes it. Non-participating teams’ tiny allotments (about 1% each) rarely reach ordinary fans.
Route 4: Verified Resale Marketplaces
StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, TickPick, and Gametime carry speculative broker listings now and real inventory from February 2027. This is where most fans end up buying.
- Timing strategy: early listings are often speculative and priced high. Prices typically react to the matchup — dream matchups surge, upsets can trigger drops — and game-week prices often dip as sellers get desperate. Historically, average Super Bowl resale has landed between $4,000 and $6,000 per Ticketmaster’s own guidance, with entry prices sometimes dropping closer to game day.
- Set alerts: track listings daily from the conference championships onward and buy when you see seats that work for your group — don’t chase the absolute bottom.
- Best for: fans who missed the lotteries and want the widest choice of seats.
What Not to Do: Super Bowl Ticket Scams
Scammers target Super Bowl buyers aggressively every year. Protect yourself:
- Never buy screenshots or PDFs — all Super Bowl tickets are mobile-only and transfer through the official app. A screenshot cannot get you in.
- Never buy from social media sellers, street scalpers, or “a friend of a friend.” Counterfeit Super Bowl tickets are a yearly news story.
- Stick to verified marketplaces (Ticketmaster’s NFL Ticket Exchange, StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, TickPick) with buyer guarantees.
- Be wary of wire transfers, gift cards, or crypto — any seller demanding irreversible payment is a red flag.

| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| Now – December 2026 | Place an On Location Priority Access deposit if you want a guaranteed seat; start tracking resale listings. |
| Late January 2027 | Conference championships decide the matchup — team lotteries open and close fast; resale inventory starts growing. |
| Early February 2027 | NFL Ticket Exchange inventory builds as club allotments hit the market; compare verified options. |
| Super Bowl week (Feb 8–13) | Watch for price dips on resale; last-minute verified tickets can appear at a discount. |

FAQs
When can I buy Super Bowl 2027 tickets?
There’s no single onsale date because there’s no public sale. On Location hospitality packages are available now via a refundable deposit; verified resale tickets on the NFL Ticket Exchange by Ticketmaster will appear once the NFL releases single tickets, with inventory growing from late January 2027 through game day.
Is there a general public sale for the Super Bowl?
No. The NFL distributes tickets to the participating clubs, the host team, sponsors, and partners — never directly to the general public. Any site claiming “official public onsale” tickets is misleading you; the official routes are On Location, the NFL Ticket Exchange, and team lotteries.
Can I buy Super Bowl 2027 tickets before the teams are decided?
Yes — but only through On Location hospitality packages (via the Priority Access deposit) or speculative resale listings, which carry risk since the matchup is unknown. Verified single tickets arrive after the teams are set.
Are Super Bowl tickets mobile-only?
Yes. All Super Bowl tickets are 100% mobile and delivered to your phone via the official app. Never buy screenshots, PDFs, or paper tickets.
How much do Super Bowl 2027 tickets cost?
See our dedicated Super Bowl 2027 ticket prices guide for the full breakdown. As a rough benchmark, Ticketmaster notes that average Super Bowl resale historically runs $4,000–$6,000 per ticket.
What’s the safest way to buy Super Bowl tickets?
The NFL Ticket Exchange by Ticketmaster — the league’s official resale marketplace — offers verified tickets with buyer protection. On Location is the official hospitality route. Avoid social media sellers and street scalpers entirely.
When is the best time to buy Super Bowl tickets?
It depends on your priority: buy On Location now for certainty, or wait until Super Bowl week for resale — prices often soften in the final days as sellers rush to unload inventory, though a dream matchup can keep prices high.
