As the excitement builds for Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the Kansas City Chiefs are set to clash with the San Francisco 49ers, the spotlight is not only on the players but also on the extravagant VIP experience.
The High Cost of Luxury
While Super Bowl tickets are notorious for their steep prices, with this year’s event averaging around $9,850 per ticket, the pinnacle of luxury lies in the exclusive suites and VIP boxes. At Allegiant Stadium, the price for such opulent accommodations can soar to an astonishing $2.5 million.
Even family members of NFL stars find themselves priced out of these elite spaces. Donna Kelce, mother of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce, expressed her disbelief at the exorbitant cost, revealing that she will likely be seated among the general audience rather than in a VIP suite.
“You can understand that the boxes in Vegas are multimillion dollars, so I have a feeling I’m not in a box,” Donna remarked. “As far as I know, I’m in the stands with everybody else because it is a pricey Super Bowl.”
Similarly, Lisa McCaffrey, mother of San Francisco 49ers standout Christian McCaffrey, shared her family’s struggle to afford a suite for the big game. Despite considering the option, they ultimately found it beyond their financial reach.
“We looked into a suite, and none of us can afford it. Not even Christian, moneybags over there,” Lisa quipped on the Your Mom podcast. Even Christian’s fiancée, Olivia Culpo, couldn’t foot the bill. However, Culpo surprised Lisa with the news that she had purchased a suite for them both, dispelling any notions of financial constraints.
In the world of high-stakes sports entertainment, even those with close ties to the athletes find themselves priced out of the most luxurious experiences.

The Price of Luxury
According to TickPick, a leading ticket resale marketplace, the cost of securing a suite at this year’s Super Bowl ranges from $800,000 to over $2 million, depending on the suite type. Allegiant Stadium boasts 128 executive suites spread across three levels, along with 44 Loge Boxes. However, most suites are held on long-term leases, making single-event rentals a scarce commodity.
In a revealing TikTok video shared by sports journalist Luke Sawhook, viewers were treated to a glimpse inside one of the opulent suites prepared for game day, complete with an extravagant menu. From bacon-wrapped hot dogs to glazed donut sundaes and signature cocktails, guests in the $2.5 million suite were in for a culinary delight.
The Suite Experience
For those seeking the ultimate Super Bowl indulgence, the Suite Experience Group offers a variety of packages catering to different preferences and budgets. The Private Premium Loge Box, starting at $300,000, includes four tickets along with food and beverages. Meanwhile, the Club Suite, priced at $1.2 million, offers a more extensive package featuring 20 suite tickets, parking passes, and culinary delights.
The Traditional Suite, accommodating 22 to 26 guests, provides stadium-style seating, an open-air balcony, and a private lounge area complete with a bar and kitchenette. Unlimited food, drinks, and alcohol ensure guests are well taken care of throughout the event. On the other end of the spectrum, the Premium Loge Club offers a more intimate experience for groups of two to four people, with unlimited food and non-alcoholic beverages.
