If you want to see Christian McCaffrey face off against Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on Sunday and don’t yet have a ticket, it’ll cost you. The cheapest seat in Allegiant Stadium is going for $7,439 just hours before kickoff.

The highly anticipated Kansas City Chiefs versus San Francisco 49ers game is expected to draw record eyes on television between rising interest in football and the attendance of pop superstar Taylor Swift getting her fans involved.

But ticket prices have dropped in recent weeks, with the bottom prices hovering close to $10,000 in mid-January for nosebleed seats. Many fans have taken to Vegas to party but not attend the game, choosing instead to partake in the city’s legendary nightlife or watch the big game in any number of casinos.

Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET, with the tilt set to decide whether the 49ers’s “Mr. Irrelevant” quarterback Brock Purdy can stop Mahomes from his third Super Bowl title in five years.

The game will also be star-studded with performers, with Usher headlining the halftime show. Post Malone and Reba McEntire will also make appearances in the pregame festivities.
