Do you know someone who works for the NFL?
If you have set your sights on attending the Super Bowl it’s highly likely that you have considered purchasing your Super Bowl tickets directly from the NFL. However, your chances of doing so are extremely slim. The NFL distributes their tickets according to these percentages:
- Super Bowl competing teams – 35% – split evenly and given to coaches, players, families, and sponsors.
- Host City team – 6.2% – majority is sold to season ticket holders.
- Remaining (28) teams – 33.6% – distributed evenly as 1.2% for each team.
- NFL keeps 25.2% – tickets are sold through partners, media, and sponsors
On Location Experiences / Ticketmaster
On Location is where you purchase the hard-to-get-your-hands-on tickets booked directly through the NFL. It’s the place you’d look if you wanted to spare no expense and save no money.
You’ve also probably heard of Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster handles primary and resale tickets. They also power On Location’s tickets that we discussed above, and the official NFL Ticket Exchange. But is it also possible they coined the term “convenience fee”? Just maybe…
