Where to buy, when sales open, what you'll pay, and how to avoid scams
NFL On Location (the league's official hospitality provider) and the NFL Ticket Exchange via Ticketmaster — team ticket allocations remain the primary face-value channel.
Inventory concentrates once the matchup is set on Championship Sunday about two weeks out. Prices spike immediately after, often dip midweek, and rebound in the final days before kickoff.
Resale from roughly $3,000 for upper-level seats past $10,000 for premium lower-level midfield; On Location packages run $5,000-15,000+ per person.
The Super Bowl is America's most counterfeited ticket event. Use only On Location or the NFL Ticket Exchange — never buy PDFs, screenshots, or paper tickets from touts and social-media sellers, and never wire money or pay by crypto; barcodes are validated at the gates.

How to make the most of your Super Bowl 2026 Recap: Hotels, Tickets & Next Edition trip — inside the gates and beyond
Super Bowl Sunday at Levi's Stadium ran like a full-day festival: gates opened mid-afternoon for a 3:30 PM Pacific kickoff, tailgating filled the Red Lot from noon, and the Super Bowl Live fan festival ran all week in downtown San Jose. Inside, the pre-game ceremonies — team introductions, the national anthem, the flyover — stretch an hour before kickoff, and the halftime show turns the field into a stage while the stadium empties to concourse food lines. The fourth quarter is decided by whether you've booked a late dinner in San Jose or braved the post-game Caltrain queue.
Bay Area game weekends eat as well as anywhere in America: San Pedro Square Market in downtown San Jose is the assembly point for pre- and post-game meals, with tacos, BBQ and craft beer under one roof, and the South Bay's burrito culture rewards a drive down El Camino Real. Stadium food at Super Bowl prices leans premium — expect destination-chef stands rather than stadium dogs. San Francisco, 45 minutes up the Caltrain corridor, adds the Michelin-tier option for the night before.
Inside Levi's Stadium on the ground floor — Super Bowl trophies, Bill Walsh's coaching tree and a decade of NFC West history. Combine with a stadium tour on a non-game day.
45 minutes by Caltrain or car: the Golden Gate, Ferry Building food hall and Chinatown. Best used on the Friday or Saturday before the game, when trains are quiet.
San Jose's own landmarks — the famously endless Victorian mansion for afternoons, and a Sharks game at SAP Center during hockey season for a second sporting night.
3-4 days
The classic Super Bowl trip is Thursday-to-Monday: fan festivals Thursday and Friday, Bay Area sightseeing Saturday, the game Sunday, and a Monday recovery before Tuesday flights home. Weekend-only trippers fly Friday morning and out Monday, but build buffer for game-day Bay Area traffic.

The 49ers Museum inside Levi's Stadium, San Francisco's Golden Gate and Ferry Building, and downtown San Jose's Winchester Mystery House are the standard picks. San Pedro Square Market is the nightly hub for fan crowds and food.
