Football fans looking for a chance to attend Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans have a unique opportunity through the NFL Auction, where exclusive ticket packages are available to the highest bidder. The league's official auction platform offers fans the ability to secure premium experiences while also supporting charitable causes.
Why It Matters
Attending the Super Bowl is a bucket list experience for many fans, but with high demand and limited availability, getting tickets can be challenging.
The NFL Auction provides an official, secure way to bid on Super Bowl tickets while contributing to the league's charitable initiatives. Proceeds from these auctions often support organizations such as the NFL Foundation, which funds youth football programs and community development efforts.
What To Know
The current auction, listed on the NFL Auction website, features a Super Bowl LIX package for two, which includes two tickets to the game as well as additional VIP perks. Bidders can participate by registering on the site and placing their offers before the auction closes.
The auction system operates similarly to other online bidding platforms. Users must create an account, verify their payment information and place bids on the desired items. The highest bidder at the close of the auction wins the package. Given the high stakes, it's advisable for bidders to set a maximum amount they are willing to spend and monitor the listing closely as the deadline approaches.
The current bid is set at $6,000, according to the NFL Auction website, and bid increments are required to increase by $500. Right now, there are only three bids on the auction, with less than eight hours remaining.
NFL fans can also use a "buy now" feature on the auction website, where they can purchase the package for $25,000.
What People Are Saying
The NFL Auction website said: "The Player Cause Collection features items from some of the NFL biggest stars. Through this unique partnership, fans have the opportunity to bid on amazing memorabilia and experiences with all proceeds supporting that player's cause of choice. It's truly a win-win!"
It continues: "The NFL does not retain any profits from the sale/auction of Player Cause Collection items, packages and experiences via NFL Auction. All dollars raised from the auction are awarded by the NFL Foundation to charities identified by the specific player associated with each Player Cause Collection auction."
What's Next
The Super Bowl LIX takes place Sunday at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Fans who miss out on the auction will need to explore other ticketing options.
The NFL's official ticketing partners, such as Ticketmaster, will offer additional opportunities, though prices are expected to be high. Resale platforms may also list tickets, but buyers should be wary and avoid scams and inflated prices.
