Kansas City Chiefs safety Justin Reid is aware how expensive seats are at the 2025 Super Bowl.
“Ticket prices are running up, man, like, I got 30 of ‘em,” Reid, 27, said during a Thursday, January 30, press conference. “I mean, we’re excited to go play and we’re chasing glory, but we gotta win just so I can break even.”
The Chiefs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, February 9 in a rematch of the 2023 championship. (Kansas City won the first matchup in 2024, clinching the franchise’s second consecutive Super Bowl victory.)
February’s matchup will be held at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome. According to Ticketmaster, the cheapest ticket price is $4,000 while other seats are retailing for more than $15,000.
All of the athletes and coaches competing in the Big Game are required to purchase tickets to accommodate their guests, just like other fans. At 2023’s championship, now-retired Eagles center Jason Kelce paid $4,000 per ticket for his wife, Kylie Kelce, their eldest two daughters and her OB-GYN to attend the game in Arizona. (Kylie, now 32, was pregnant with baby No. 3 at the time. She is now expecting again.)
The next year, Jason’s brother, Travis Kelce, shelled out $3 million for a private suite at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium for girlfriend Taylor Swift, their two families and respective friends to watch the championship against the San Francisco 49ers.
For Reid, he gets that a Super Bowl ticket is a hot commodity and, as a result, has tried to advise newer teammates to get their own logistics squared away as early as possible.
Working the Super Bowl comes with a hefty price tag — just ask Allison Kaye, the celebrity makeup artist who works with wives and girlfriends of athletes across sports leagues, including the NFL. Kaye is headed to New Orleans for this year’s Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, February […]
“Put the work in early, so you’re not playing catch up next week when you’re already doing 50 interviews and your schedule is crazy and everything’s different,” he said on Thursday. “Have your tickets set up, your family settled. Take care of all of that this week, so that way you can focus on ball. We’re not there to have a vacation; we’re there to win a football game and that’ll be the focus.”
Reid’s own family recently grew after his girlfriend, Marissa Rand, gave birth to their first baby last month.
“I mean, [it was the] most exciting thing that happened over the last couple of weeks, for me,” he gushed on Thursday of daughter Cielle’s birth. “We’re trading off getting some sleep right now, but it’s just the usual things [of] feeding, sleeping, cleaning diapers. We’re getting a lot of practice at those.”
It is not presently known whether Rand and the couple’s baby girl will attend the Super Bowl.
