Both Jackie and Niki confirmed they had access to purchase up to 15 tickets per family for the Super Bowl in different sections. Six of the tickets were allotted for the upper deck while the rest were allotted for the lower deck seating.

However, if a family needs more tickets, they are allowed to trade for additional ticket allotments from other families that may not need them.

“It’s a frenzy,” Niki explained on the podcast, adding that families would attempt to trade their post-game party pass for an opportunity to purchase an additional ticket for other friends and family.

Not only is it a “frenzy” securing tickets, but there’s also a time crunch as the ticket-purchasing process takes place once the NFC and AFC championship games are done.

Niki explained that families are usually given “24 hours to look at the [ticket] allotments” before they purchase tickets for the game. After that, they will try to conduct trades with other families in the time leading up to the game if more tickets are needed.
