What Are Old Super Bowl Tickets Worth? Complete Price Guide

The Complete Super Bowl Ticket Stub Value Guide

Super Bowl ticket stubs are among the most collectible items in all of sports memorabilia. As the biggest single-day sporting event in America, the Super Bowl produces stubs that carry both historical significance and strong monetary value. Whether you have a stub from Super Bowl I or from a recent championship, this guide will help you understand what it might be worth.

Super Bowl Stubs by Era

Super Bowls I through V (1967-1971)

The earliest Super Bowl stubs are the most valuable. Super Bowl I stubs are exceptionally rare — the game wasn't even called the "Super Bowl" on the tickets (it was the "AFL-NFL World Championship Game"). Authenticated stubs from Super Bowl I have sold for five figures at auction. Super Bowls II through V are also extremely valuable, with prices typically ranging from $1,000 to $10,000+ depending on condition.

Super Bowls VI through XX (1972-1986)

Stubs from this era are solidly collectible with values typically ranging from $200 to $2,000. The most valuable from this period include Super Bowl VII (Dolphins' perfect season), Super Bowl X (Steelers dynasty), and Super Bowl III (Joe Namath's guarantee). The condition of the stub plays a larger role in pricing within this era.

Super Bowls XXI through XL (1987-2006)

Values in this era generally range from $75 to $500, with memorable games commanding the higher end. Super Bowl XXV (Wide Right), Super Bowl XXXVI (Patriots dynasty begins), and Super Bowl XXXII (Elway finally wins) are among the most sought-after from this period.

Modern Super Bowls (XLI-Present)

Modern Super Bowl stubs typically range from $50 to $250, with particularly memorable games — like Super Bowl LI (the 28-3 comeback) and Super Bowl LII (Philly Special) — at the higher end. As time passes, these stubs will likely appreciate in value.

What Affects Super Bowl Stub Value?

Beyond the specific game, several factors influence a Super Bowl stub's value. Condition is crucial for high-value stubs — a crisp, uncreased stub from Super Bowl III could be worth several times more than a wrinkled one. Ticket type matters too: full unused tickets are worth more than torn stubs, and special access passes (press, VIP, field) can be worth as much or more than standard tickets.

The specific seat location can also add value, as lower-level and premium seating tickets sometimes carry slight premiums. Authentication and provenance help for especially valuable stubs.
