Ravens Rival, Chiefs' TE Travis Kelce 'Counting the Money He's Spending' at Super Bowl vs. 49ers
Thanks partly to the performance of Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce, the Ravens aren't in Las Vegas to play the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. That honor goes instead, to Kansas City by virtue of a 17-10 win over Baltimore in the AFC title game.
And since Kelce will be there, we will be treated to more of pop star Taylor Swift on our television screens during the game. But that suite will cost a lot more than before for Swift and Kelce's family in attendance.
"I’m not really doing much different other than just counting how much money I’m spending on this damn Super Bowl for family and friends to come," Travis told his brother Jason Kelce during this week's episode of their podcast, New Heights. "Just making sure I’m on top of those finances and losing all this money."
Kelce's mother, Donna, who has been seen with Swift in suites attending her son's games this season isn't looking forward to a luxury box for the Super Bowl.
"Well, you can understand that the boxes in Vegas are multi-million dollars. So, I have a feeling I’m not in a box, I have a feeling I am in the stands. As far as I know I’m in the stands with everybody else because it is a pricey Super Bowl."
San Francisco running back Christian McCaffrey, whose mother, Lisa, is a big supporter of her son's games, doesn't expect to be in a box, either. "We are not in a suite, I will tell you that. They are outrageously expensive. They are stupidly expensive. I don't know if it's the Taylor Swift factor or the first time in Vegas factor."
Per CBS, the average Super Bowl LVIII ticket as of last Wednesday was $8,600. The most expensive ticket found was $45,000.
TMZ reported that luxury boxes for the game that include a full-service bar and food are $2.5 million.
