As the NFC and AFC Conference Championship games approach this weekend, NFL spectators are looking ahead at the best get-in prices for Super Bowl LIII on February 3.
We predict that if the Patriots win the AFC Championship game, we will likely see Super Bowl Prices drop. It’s a well-known fact that the Patriots are no strangers to Super Bowl glory; for the past decade we’ve seen Tom Brady and Bill Belichick live in the Super Bowl arena. While NFL nation isn’t rooting against the Patriots, they’ll likely need some incentive to buy tickets.
Although it inevitably makes for amazing TV ratings, having another Patriots Super Bowl will likely hurt profit margins for tickets. Pats fans will most likely not be willing to spend more money than usual on tickets to see them play again.
Despite the fact that the weather in Kansas City threatens AFC game attendance, our Patriots theory could take effect this Sunday. Analyzing prices for the AFC Championship verses the NFC Championship indicates that the demand for the Chiefs/Patriots game is much lower than the Saints/Rams game.
