Key highlights of the 2023 Super Bowl

Super Bowl 57 was held on February 12 this year, as the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles took the field for the final playoff game. Over a hundred million people tuned into the match on the official broadcasting channel. Many also spent hundreds of dollars buying tickets and watching the game up close. Here are some details about the cost of the Super Bowl 2023 tickets and other unmissable highlights and facts.

Time and venue
Super Bowl 2023 began at 4:30 p.m. MST at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona. It was a Sunday evening, and the venue was occupied to its total capacity. Fans enjoyed not only the match but also the various entertainment programs at the stadium. The ground was laid with Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass, which took the NFL two years to research and prepare.

Cost of tickets sold
If watching the Super Bowl on TV did not give you an adrenaline rush, you may be thinking about what it would have been like to enjoy the game in person. If you have never inquired about the cost of Super Bowl tickets, brace yourself for some shock. Even the lowest ticket package started at around $4,900! Luxury packages were more expensive but included the cost of open bars, pregame parties, and tailgate food. The exact ticket price differed depending on the level of luxuries included in the package. The average cost of the Super Bowl 2023 tickets is said to be a little more than what it was last year.

Besides the official NFL website, passes were available at popular online ticketing platforms like Vivid Seats and SeatGeek. Among all the online ticket platforms, the least price was probably charged by Vivid Seats. Passes sold for around $4,700 on this site a few months before the game, and the most expensive ticket was around $35,000 during that time! This amount might be equivalent to the price of a family vacation or a luxury item you would like to buy. Unsurprisingly, attending a Super Bowl game remains on many people’s bucket lists. Some were lucky to find the best deal online this year, and their dream came true.

Watching the match on TV
The 2023 Super Bowl was aired on Fox in English and on Fox Deportes in Spanish. The play-by-play announcers were Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen. It was the duo’s first-ever Super Bowl assignment. Westwood One provided nationwide radio coverage for the game. It was also live-streamed on NFL+.

Halftime show
The Super Bowl halftime show was led by Rihanna, an international singer, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. She once turned down the NFL’s offer but made it this year. It was the star singer’s first live performance after a five-year gap. But Rihanna was not the only one who entertained fans on the grand day. The national anthem was sung by Chris Stapleton ahead of the game, while Troy Kotsur delivered it beautifully in sign language. There were other celebrities, too, including Babyface, who was accompanied by Colin Denny.

Match results
The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles by a narrow margin of 38-35. As expected, it was an entertaining evening with a stellar guest list and outstanding performances by both teams. Fans enjoyed the face-off, whether their team was playing or not!
