Barry's Ticket Service Reveals Dramatic NFL Secondary Market Trends: Super Bowl Prices Experience Historic 83% Drop from 2024 Peak
The analysis shows Super Bowl ticket prices reached historic highs of over $12,000 in Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, before correcting to a median price of $6,304 for this year's game in New Orleans – representing the most dramatic price swing in NFL history.
Key Findings:
The study identifies three distinct market phases: pandemic disruption (2020-2021), recovery and inflation (2022-2023), and market correction (2024-2025). Super Bowl LV in Tampa Bay had reduced capacity, with 70,000 fans reduced to 22,000, driving average prices to $12,477. Meanwhile, regular season tickets increased by 53% during the pandemic period.
'We've witnessed a fundamental shift in buyer behavior,' said industry experts at Barry's Ticket Service. 'Venue location has become as important as team performance in driving secondary market prices.'
The Las Vegas Effect:
The 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas created a 'perfect pricing storm' with multiple factors converging: the destination city's appeal, Allegiant Stadium's smaller capacity of 61,629, celebrity attendance (Taylor Swift), and the Chiefs' dynasty storyline. The most expensive single ticket reached over $50,000.
Market Correction:
The 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans demonstrates the impact of market forces, with several factors contributing to the price adjustment: venue familiarity (the 11th time hosting), increased capacity (73,000 vs. 61,629), and 'Chiefs fatigue' among some fans.
The analysis reveals consistent pricing hierarchies across all NFL games, with playoff premiums ranging from 2 to 3 times the regular-season prices for Wild Card games to 15 to 25 times the regular-season prices for Super Bowl tickets.

Steve Pagliuca deal to purchase, relocate Sun reportedly challenged by Connecticut-based group led by Marc Lasry
One day after reports about a deal led by Steve Pagliuca to purchase and relocate the Connecticut Sun, another competing bid appears to have emerged. Pagliuca, a minority owner of the Boston Celtics, confirmed Sunday that an investor group led by him has extended an offer to buy the Sun from the Mohegan Tribe, with reports that the $325 million deal includes plans to relocate the team to Boston. But additional reports on Monday show that the deal is far from over. A new, Connecticut-based bid is looking to challenge Pagliuca's bid and keep the team in Connecticut, per multiple reports. The group is reportedly led by former Milwaukee Bucks owner Marc Lasry, who grew up in West Hartford, CT and still has ties to the area. Lasry sold his stake in the Bucks to the Haslam family in 2023, and is now looking to break into the WNBA. The Lasry-led group is reportedly only in the running due to some potential league intervention to slow down the sale process. Per Front Office Sports, a deal with Pagliuca was initially agreed on in early July, and was presented to WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert. But it never went before the WNBA Board of Governors, who has to approve the sale. As a result, the exclusivity period expired, reportedly opening the sale back up to other groups, including the bid led by Lasry. The Mohegan Tribe purchased the team, then the Orlando Miracle, in 2002 for $10 million and moved the team to Uncasville, CT. The Sun have played in Mohegan Sun Arena, located inside the Mohegan Sun Casino, since the relocated team began play in 2003. Part of the Lasry-led bid would relocate the Sun, in-state, to play in PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, per the Hartford Courant. The arena is currently host to New York Rangers AHL affiliate Hartford Wolf Pack, as well as the UConn men's and women's basketball and men's hockey. Pagliuca, on the other hand, plans to move the team. Though his primary target seems to be Boston, Pagliuca said in a statement Sunday that the investment group has "the objective of keeping New England's WNBA team in New England," adding that the group had the support of both Massachussetts governor Maura Healy and Rhode Island governor Daniel McKee. As a result, Providence, Rhode Island appears to be in the running as another potential landing spot for the team. The Pagliuca group's $325 million price tag also reportedly includes a commitment to spend $100 million on a new practice facility, wherever the team ends up. But any team relocation would need to be approved by the WNBA. Additionally the WNBA can reportedly force a sale to a Connecticut-based group, with The Boston Globe reporting that the Mohegan Tribe would cooperate if that were to happen. The league has not explicitly said that it wants the team to stay in Connecticut, but did release a statement following reports on the sale to Pagliuca. In the statement, the WNBA pointedly noted that Boston had not applied for one of the expansion bids, which were eventually awarded to Detroit, Cleveland and Philadelphia, and that the cities that did apply would receive "priority" over Boston. "Relocation decisions are made by the WNBA Board of Governors and not by individual teams," the statement began, firmly setting the boundary. The Connecticut-based group has the backing of Connecticut governor Ned Lamont, who told reporters on Monday that he was doing everything he could to keep the team in the state. "Can't believe everything you read," Lamont said, via CT Insider. "When it comes to the Connecticut Sun, we're late in the fourth quarter, we still have some catching up to do, but it's not over until it's over. We're fighting like heck. Connecticut is the home of women's basketball. The Sun ought to be right here." Lamont also seemed inclined to kick in public money towards a potential in-state deal, saying that his administration will "do what it takes to keep the Sun in Connecticut." On the other end, Governor Healey told The Boston Globe on Sunday that "it would be great for Boston" to get a WNBA franchise. Healey mentioned that the Sun have played in Boston's TD Garden for two straight years, with both games recording sellout crowds. "I've been at this for a couple of years. It would be great for the Connecticut Sun to move to Boston and represent all of New England. We are the hub of New England and the place that basketball was invented," Healey said. "I think it makes a lot of sense." With multiple bids competing for the team, it is unclear how long the sale would take. The reported $325 million in the Pagliuca would be the largest sale in WNBA history, but it's possible that the Lasry-led group would be able to match that number, and that it would come down to the WNBA Board of Governors — who are already preoccupied with ongoing negotiations for the new collective bargaining agreement — for the final decision, rather than the Mohegan Tribe.

Dodgers activate Max Muncy from injured list, but also put Tommy Edman on the shelf
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers activated Max Muncy from the injured list and put fellow infielder Tommy Edman on the list Monday. Muncy has been out since July 2, missing nearly five weeks with a bone bruise in his knee after a collision on a tag play during a game against the Chicago White Sox. The veteran slugger had been on a monthlong roll at the time of his injury, boosting his OPS to .832 with 13 homers and 55 RBIs. Muncy returned more quickly than the initial six-week projection for his recovery. He was batting fifth and playing third base at Dodger Stadium on Monday night when Los Angeles opened a homestand against the St. Louis Cardinals. 'He's put in a lot of work to get back with this timeline,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. 'Getting him back lengthens and strengthens our lineup.' But just when Muncy is healthy enough to return, the NL West-leading Dodgers are losing Edman after he aggravated his injured right ankle. Edman left a game in Boston last week after apparently spraining his ankle while running the bases, and he came out of the Dodgers' game against Tampa Bay on Sunday with pain from running the bases again. 'Don't know how long it's going to be, but I do think that he'll be back at some point,' Roberts said. 'The main thing is when he gets back, how we can make sure that this doesn't happen again. It's kind of a ligament strain, tendons, whatever it is.' Edman also missed time in May with a sprained ankle. Last year's NLCS MVP is batting .228 with 12 homers and 44 RBIs this season. Edman joins the lengthy list of Dodgers hoping to return soon from injuries to bolster the defending World Series champions' repeat bid. Los Angeles didn't make a bold move at the trade deadline last week, deciding to roll with its current roster while aiming for full health in October. Utilityman Kiké Hernández went out last month with a sprained left elbow, and he isn't close to returning despite undergoing multiple procedures including platelet-rich plasma therapy and cortisone shots. 'We're not there yet, as far as worrying the season is lost' for Hernández, Roberts said. Other injury news is more encouraging: Second baseman Hyeseong Kim is swinging a bat and taking grounders in anticipation of returning from left shoulder bursitis as early as this weekend, while reliever Tanner Scott will throw another batting practice session soon in his recovery from left elbow inflammation. Roki Sasaki is still on the injured list on his bobblehead night Monday. The rookie right-hander has been out since May 8 with a right shoulder injury, but he will throw three live innings Friday after hitting mid-90s velocity in his most recent mound session. If his arm continues to feel good, he will get a minor league rehab assignment next week, Roberts said. ___ AP MLB:

Rybakina advances to WTA Canadian Open semis
Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, advanced to the semi-finals of the WTA Canadian Open on Monday when Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk retired in the second set with a wrist injury. World number 12 Rybakina led 6-1, 2-1 when Kostyuk stopped the match, sending the Kazakhstan star into a semi-final against the winner of a later match between Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro and Canadian teen Victoria Mboko. The top five seeds and seven of the top 10 seeds were ousted before the quarter-finals at Montreal, opening the door for such upstarts as 18-year-old Mboko, who eliminated top seed Coco Gauff. Rybakina, seeded ninth, seeks her third WTA title after Rome and Indian Wells in 2023. She has not reached a final since last year at Miami. Rybakina broke 24th-seeded Kostyuk to open the match and led 2-1 when Kostyuk received medical treatment on her right wrist and forearm. Kostyuk netted a backhand to surrender another break in the fifth game and Rybakina broke again to claim the first set in 37 minutes when Kostyuk sent a forehand long. In the second set, Rybakina held twice before Kostyuk retired after 54 minutes due to her wrist issues. js/jgc
