How much was the cost of the first Super Bowl ticket?

A Super Bowl ticket is one of the biggest deals in American sports. This game sees two of the best teams in the league compete for the ultimate prize, the Lombardi Trophy. As such, a ticket to the Super Bowl is rather expensive.

The first Super Bowl in NFL history was between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs, and a ticket cost $12. This game saw the Green Bay Packers beat the Chiefs 35-10 to become the first Super Bowl champs in history.

Another fact to note is that this game was the only Super Bowl in history that didn't sell out. It was played at the Los Angeles Coliseum and saw an attendance of 61,946 out of 100,594 seats. Imagine the cost and attendance today if Aaron Rodgers' Green Bay Packers faced off against Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs.

In another bit of history, Super Bowl I was the only Super Bowl that was broadcast simultaneously by more than one network. This has since been abolished, as networks now have exclusive deals to air the Super Bowl game.

How much has the cost of Super Bowl tickets increased since the 1st Super Bowl?

Times have changed, and the Super Bowl is now one of the biggest sporting events on the planet rather than a mere exhibition game. Long gone are the days when Super Bowl tickets went for a paltry $12. That fee has skyrocketed to more than three hundred times the price.

It has been speculated that the cheapest tickets to attend the game are priced at $5,000 in the area farthest from the grid. While the most costly would be very close to $25,000, prices may continue to rise with time.

As such, purchasing your tickets as soon as possible is better because the later you do, the more costly they will be among retailers. This year's Super Bowl game promises to be epic, as there are some rather interesting plotlines to note.
