Seahawks News
Ticket prices to see the Seahawks play their first Super Bowl in over a decade are costing a pretty penny.
According to Vivid Seats, the cheapest seat for the big game on Sunday is being listed at just over $4,500. The average price is sitting at just over $9,300.
According to ESPN, if that number holds, this year’s average cost would be the second-most expensive for a Super Bowl since Vivid Seats began providing data in 2015.
Meanwhile, Seattle’s QB1 issued a promising update for his health ahead of Sunday. Sam Darnold says his oblique feels “really good” after injuring it three weeks ago at the start of the playoffs.
