An Australian NFL fan has revealed he spent approximately $150,000 AUD to take his family of five from Melbourne to the Super Bowl in San Francisco. The man, a New England Patriots supporter wearing quarterback Drake Maye's jersey, shared the costs in an interview with NBC's Matt Sottile.
The tickets alone cost $80,000 AUD for level-one seats, while business-class flights added another $65,000. Despite the hefty price tag, he described the experience as 'priceless' and a 'lifetime memory for the kids.'
The Super Bowl, held at Levi's Stadium, features the Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots. The Patriots are seeking their first Super Bowl win since the Tom Brady era, while the Seahawks aim for their second Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Seahawks punter Michael Dickson, a former AFL prospect from Sydney, could become the second Australian to play in a Super Bowl victory. Last year, Philadelphia Eagles tackle Jordan Mailata became the first Australian to win a Super Bowl as a player.
Australian NFL fans can look forward to a regular-season game between the LA Rams and San Francisco 49ers at the MCG in the 2026-27 season, part of a record nine international matches announced by the NFL.
