Bengals vs Rams: seating capacity, prices and where to buy tickets for the Super Bowl 2022
The NFL started preparing the SoFi Stadium for Super Bowl LVI in January, and to be able to enjoy the venue in all its glory on Sunday, be prepared to pay a pretty penny.
Crews have been working non-stop to prepare SoFi Stadium for Super Bowl LVI, and if you want to behold the final product in person, entry to the venue could cost you a small fortune.
The Cincinnati Bengals will fight it out with the Los Angeles Rams for the Vince Lombardi trophy in Super Bowl LVI, and they are expected to play in front of a full house. Unlike last year’s Super Bowl which played out in front of a limited audience due to the covid-19 pandemic, there will be no restrictions on the number of fans who can watch the big game this year.
That means up to 70,240 fans can cheer for their teams on Feb. 13 (though the stadium's capacity is expandable up to 100,240). They’ll just have to show proof of vaccination or a negative covid-19 test result.

Expected high demand
Tickets prices are expected to be among the steepest in NFL history. It will be much easier for many Rams fans to watch the game as they will not have to fly or book hotels to support their team, so demand for the tickets is expected to be quite high.
The team is looking to lift their first Lombardi trophy as Los Angeles, as their first Super Bowl win was clinched as the St. Louis Rams.
Meanwhile, Bengals fans might be motivated to buy a plane ticket and pay for accommodations , as well as shell out thousands for stadium seats, for a chance to see their team finally land their first Super Bowl win.
Get ready to pay thousands
According to TicketIQ, an event ticket search engine, the average cost for a ticket to Super Bowl LVI is $9,066. This is much higher than last year’s average price of $8,161, which was probably driven down by the limited seating capacity of the stadium. This is still a far cry from the average ticket price to the very first Super Bowl in 1967- a whopping $12.
The cheapest ticket costs almost $5,000, while the most expensive one is $110,000 for an 18-person suite.
Prices may still go up in the last few days before the game, as the last five seasons have shown that tickets cost more in the last few days leading up to the Super Bowl.
Where to buy
There are a few websites to choose from when it comes to purchasing Super Bowl LVI tickets. You can buy them from SeatGeek, StubHub, VividSeats, or the NFL’s verified Ticket Exchange. You can wait to see if prices will still go down, but history says this is not likely to happen if you wait too long.
