NFL fans heading to Phoenix for Super Bowl LVII are going to have to pay a ginormous amount of money, according to Front Office Sports.
For two tickets to see the Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs, plus airfare, two nights’ stay, parking/ride service, two hot dogs, and two beers, one report indicates that two adults can expect to spend on average nearly $18,100.
Fans traveling from Kansas City projected to spend more than $18,700.
When Glendale, Arizona hosted the Super Bowl in 2015, Phoenix hotels recorded occupancies of 95% with average daily rates at $361, according to STR — but room rates have increased 36% since.
Average prices for domestic flights are also up 17% year-over-year, according to Hayley Berg, lead economist at Hopper.
The Phoenix area has seen 48% more nights booked for vacation home rentals compared to the same weekend last year, per AirDNA, and the average rental on Feb. 12 is up 83% year-over-year to $747.
Vacation rental companies like Vrbo are taking extra steps to limit major Super Bowl parties, like tracking the length of stay and number of guests.
