- BY JOSEPH HERNANDEZ The Kansas City Star

Hoping to go to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the San Francisco 49ers?

It will cost you.

Prices this year range from $8,000 to $88,205 for a seat, depending on where you purchase your ticket. Tickets this year are the most expensive Super Bowl on record, according to TickPick, a resale ticket site.

The average price as of Tuesday was around $9,800. That is 70% more than the average for last year’s game, which saw the Chiefs beat the Philadelph­ia Eagles in Glendale, Arizona.

Prices are similar around other ticket-selling sites.

One ticket to Super Bowl LVIII on Ticketmast­er starts at $8,854 for a seat in the upper level, with the site’s processing fees included.

Some seats in the club section on the lower level located near the 50-yardline are going for as much as $29,000 per ticket.

The lowest-cost ticket in the upper level for the game is $9,560 with fees on resale ticket site SeatGeek. The site has 474 ticket listings as of Tuesday.

The most expensive ticket on the site costs $88,205 for a seat in the lower level’s club section.

The site sells tickets authentica­ted by the NFL in case fans are worried about scams.

The least expensive ticket on resale site Vivid Seats is in the upper level for $6,866 before fees.

Their most expensive ticket is $45,527 and it is located in the suites.

The most expensive ticket that is not in a suite costs $30,689 for a seat in the lower level’s club section.

Of resale ticket site StubHub’s 644 listings, the cheapest is $6,454 for a seat in the upper level. The price shown is before the site’s ticket fees.

The most expensive ticket on the site is $44,100, and it puts you in a seat near the 50 yard line in the lower level’s club section.

The Chiefs on Monday announced travel packages for the Super Bowl with On Location, a North Carolina-based event management company.

The travel packages include exclusive access to private pregame parties with other fans, a special Chiefs takeover event at a bar near the Las Vegas Strip, gifts from the NFL, round-trip flights and a ticket to the game.

The price? Somewhere between $3,000 to $16,000 per person.
