Game 7 Auctions is proud to partner with Safe Berks to offer a Super Bowl LIX package. The package includes two tickets to Super Bowl LIX, round trip airfare for two on Southwest Airlines, and a one night stay for two at L’Auberge Baton Rouge. The auction begins Monday, January 27, 2025 and ends with a soft close at 10 PM on Sunday, February 2, 2025. To register as a bidder, go to Game7Auctions.com. It will be the only auction on the site for that week.

 

Safe Berks is a Reading, Pennsylvania based non-profit organization that serves all victims and/or survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault. All of their services are free of charge (with the exception of Bridge House), available in English and Spanish, and completely confidential. They are trauma informed and culturally competent. Their facilities are welcoming and open to all who need them.

 

This auction hopes to serve as a major source of revenue for Safe Berks. The tickets were donated by the National Football League (NFL), while private donors provided the airfare and night at the hotel. Game 7 Auctions has also waived their consignor’s fee so that 100% of the final hammer price for this auction will go to Safe Berks. There will be a 15% buyer’s premium added to the final price to offset the cost of advertising this auction.

 

Super Bowl tickets are perhaps the most coveted tickets in the sports world. Very few actually make their way into the public realm. A small percentage are available for sale through the NFL, but they usually get swallowed up by ticket brokers. Another small percentage is made available through a random lottery. About a third of the tickets are distributed among the teams in the conference championships, roughly 5% go to the host city (New Orleans this year), and the remaining very small percentage is split evenly among the rest of the NFL teams. Suffice it to say, demand far exceeds supply. As a result, the mark-up on the resale of Super Bowl tickets can reach absurd numbers. 

 

As with any tickets for any event, the main driver of the variation in price is location, location, location. Tickets on the 50-yard line command a far greater premium than tickets in the upper deck of the end zone. The NFL is still holding these tickets, so the seat location is unknown at press time, but the belief is that will be known by the start of the auction. If not, it will certainly be known by auction’s end.

 

At press time, the Super Bowl match-up will be the Philadelphia Eagles or the Washington Commanders versus the Kansas City Chiefs or the Buffalo Bills. Better match-ups certainly command higher ticket prices than less-desired match-ups, and any combination of the final four teams this year will hold strong appeal. But as a Reading, PA based auction house partnering with Safe Berks, the Philadelphia Eagles would be a far-bigger draw than the Washington Commanders. By the start of the auction, the Super Bowl teams will be set.

 

Currently the lowest priced Super Bowl ticket on the ticket aggregator Tick Pick is a shade under $6000, so two tickets ($12,000 low end value) with airfare ($800 value) and a night at the hotel ($500 value) creates a significant potential windfall for Safe Berks.
