{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}NFL fans from all over the country have begun to flock to Los Angeles ahead of Super Bowl LVI, and while ticket prices soar for the big game, there is an alternative for fans to get the full experience without having to shell out thousands of dollars for a few hours of football.
According to TicketIQ data shared with Fox News, the cheapest ticket on the secondary market is $5,300, while those who are looking to get a better view may have to shell out nearly $9,000 for a seat in the lower levels of SoFi Stadium on Feb. 13. The average ticket price is $9,066.
TickPick co-founder and Co-CEO Brett Goldberg expressed some optimism that ticket prices were going to drop in the days to come.

"For now, the average purchase price for this year’s Super Bowl is currently the most expensive on record. The get-in price, though, may drop below $5,000 this weekend, as we have noticed a steady drop since the matchup was set," he said Friday. "Fans looking for the most affordable tickets should keep their eyes on that get-in over the coming days."
While former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson expressed dismay about the average fan not being able to attend the Super Bowl live, the Super Bowl Experience at the Los Angeles Convention Center offers fans tons of interesting things to do – and for a fraction of the price to watch the game in Inglewood, California.
