How to Buy Super Bowl Tickets (Without Getting Scammed)

Buy only from verified sources: a reputable Super Bowl travel company or an official ticketing partner. Face-value tickets are nearly impossible for the public to get, so most fans buy through a Super Bowl travel package or on the verified resale market. The safest route is a package that pairs a verified ticket with your hotel and hospitality — so there’s a real company standing behind it. The one rule that keeps you safe: never buy from an individual on social media, and always pay with a credit card.

Can I buy Super Bowl tickets at face value?

Almost never. Most tickets are distributed through the 32 teams and league partners. There is an official ticket lottery (a random drawing you can enter in advance), but the odds are long. For nearly everyone, the realistic path is verified resale or a travel package.

Where can I buy Super Bowl tickets safely?

• A reputable travel company (the safest route) — bundles a verified ticket with your hotel and hospitality, with a real company standing behind the purchase. Bullseye Event Group’s Super Bowl LXI tickets are verified, and every ticket includes a free Players Tailgate ticket.
• Official channels — the official ticketing partner and ticket lottery are legitimate, though public availability is extremely limited.
• If you use resale, stick to established marketplaces — only well-known platforms with buyer guarantees, and never an individual seller. A package removes the resale gamble entirely.

How to spot a Super Bowl ticket scam

Do:

• Check the site’s URL — it should start with https and show a lock icon.
• Complete the purchase on the same platform where you found the listing.
• Pay with a credit card (you can dispute a fraudulent charge).

Don’t:

• Buy from strangers on social media, Craigslist, or via a “great deal” DM.
• Trust a screenshot of a ticket — real tickets use barcodes that refresh every few seconds.
• Pay with Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App — scammers push these because the money can’t be recovered.
• Fall for below-market prices — if it’s far cheaper than everywhere else, it’s fake.

The safe, simple path

Skip the resale gamble entirely: book a verified ticket or a travel package through a trusted source. Not sure what to spend? See our guide on how much are Super Bowl tickets.
