While it may not be the matchup most NFL fans hoped for, Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles is set. And even though we've seen this movie before, a true heavyweight clash of titans is in store.
If their Super Bowl LVII showdown two seasons ago is any indication, this Chiefs-Eagles encore should be another instant classic. Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts had one of the best all-time individual performances on football's biggest stage. Yet, it wasn't enough to prevent Patrick Mahomes from orchestrating a game-winning field goal drive to guide Kansas City to a thrilling second-half comeback victory.
There was quite a lot of anticipation for this matchup in New Orleans when you talk to many football fans. At the same time, though, that anticipation or at least the demand for tickets has dwindled over the two weeks since conference championship Sunday as we've seen Super Bowl ticket prices drop throughout the week.
With the help of StubHub, let's take a look at how the Super Bowl 59 tickets have dropped in price as we're set for Sunday's Chiefs-Eagles matchups.

Super Bowl 59 ticket costs: Most affordable
The cheapest available ticket for the 600-level in the nosebleeds is currently sitting at $2,101 before fees. Just over a week ago, the tickets would've cost $3,938 before the estimated fees and $5,318 total per ticket to attend Super Bowl 59. The fact that prices have dropped well over $1K is quite shocking. Though it's still quite a lot of money, that is a historically low number in comparison to others.
Also more than a week ago, StubHub cited an average ticket price of $8,076 for Super Bowl LIX, a 14 percent decline from Super Bowl LVIII (h/t USA Today's Jordan Mendoza). Still, it costs an arm and a leg to witness Hurts, Mahomes, the Eagles and the Chiefs go toe-to-toe in person.
Super Bowl 59 ticket costs: Most expensive seats in New Orleans
Prices have also dropped for the most expensive tickets available as that currently sits at $8,063 per ticket on StubHub to sit just to the right of midfield but only 17 rows up in the stands. Some might call that the perfect seat. But while that's still a hefty sum of money, whether because of tickets being sold or the lack of demand, the price has dropped substantially from where it was.
Not long after the conference championship games, front-row seats near midfield were the most valuable, with a pair of tickets in Row 2 of Section 142 costing $58,475 each. In other words, if you want the ultimate live Super Bowl LIX viewing experience, prepare to shell out an exorbitant amount of cash.
Moving up to 300-level seating also runs you a fortune. Two vouchers in Section 322 come out to roughly $14,000. It's a notable difference from the top-dollar accommodations, but a vast sum of money nonetheless.
Moreover, these price tags don't include airfare/travel expenses for fans journeying to New Orleans and hospitality. So, we don't blame anyone for enjoying the Chiefs and Eagles duke it out from the comfort of their own home.
