Show Caption Hide Caption NFL championship Sunday overreactions: Chiefs, Niners set up classic Super Bowl SportsPulse: Let's be honest. We are just happy that the New England Patriots are not playing in the Super Bowl this year. The fact that we get to see Patrick Mahomes makes it that much sweeter.

Tickets for the Super Bowl LIV matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are re-selling in record fashion.

According to SeatGeek.com, the current average resale price of a Super Bowl ticket in Miami on Feb. 2 is $6,002, with the lowest ticket running for $5,200. The best seats in the house at Hard Rock Stadium are going for the fan-friendly price of $16,000.

The game's location plays a part in the high price, but the lowest ticket price is still $500 more expensive than it was before Sunday's games.

By comparison, the next highest-priced Super Bowl ticket came two years ago in Super Bowl LII between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles in Minneapolis for $5,373. Next was the Super Bowl LIII matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Patriots in Atlanta for $4,657.

SeatGeek communications director Chris Leyden said this year's tickets are "“the most in demand Super Bowl...ever."

On StubHub, the lowest ticket is going for a lesser $4,651. On Ticketmaster, the lowest is $5,184 as of Monday morning.

Those high numbers typically decline in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, as resale prices usually surge rapidly immediately following the second conference championship game on Sunday night.

A plethora of the impulsive ticket buyers appeared to be Chiefs fans, too. Kansas City generated the highest percentage of geographical ticket orderings according to SeatGeek's data at 12.3%, while large metropolitan areas like New York (12.2%) and Chicago (8.1%) trailed.
