Super Bowl 2022 parking spots near SoFi Stadium cost hundreds, even thousands, of dollars
LOS ANGELES — Tickets to Super Bowl 56 will be the most expensive in history, but fans going to the game will also see parking spaces on-site and near SoFi Stadium selling for hundreds – and sometimes thousands – of dollars.
Tickets for the game on sites such as StubHub, Ticketmaster, Seat Geek and Vivid Seats are selling for thousands of dollars, with the cheapest ticket around $4,500 (with fees). Seat Geek's Super Bowl ticket tracker says the average cost of a ticket is $8,475 as of Thursday morning.
But some ticket-selling sites have parking spaces that cost more than a ticket.
On StubHub, the cheapest parking pass is around $370, but that spot is over a mile away from the stadium. Some parking passes on-site are selling for over $4,200, including one at the nearby Hollywood Park Casino over $5,000.
With pregame festivities and events taking place around the stadium leading up to the game, the city of Inglewood announced that "extremely limited" parking would be available. The NFL and the city are advising fans to take public transportation, such as the Los Angeles Metro system, or shuttle services provided by the league.
"There will be no additional parking available at the stadium, so your options are going to include shuttles, rideshares, metro or walking," NFL chief security officer Cathy Lanier told reporters on Tuesday.

For those driving to the game, the NFL offers a much cheaper option of parking and taking a shuttle to the stadium. The shuttles – blue and purple – will be in Inglewood and its surrounding cities, starting at 10:30 a.m. until 11 p.m. Pacific Time. The blue shuttle has a $40 parking price, while the purple shuttle costs $60 to park, with a shuttle pass costing $10 per person.
The cheapest option is the Los Angeles Metro, which costs $3.50 for a day pass. Fans can take the Metro to the Hawthorne/Lennox station. Less than two miles south of the stadium, Metro will also have shuttles leaving the station every eight minutes beginning at 10:45 a.m. for free. Postgame, the shuttles will run frequently until crowds are cleared.
