A drive of this length would take about four days round-trip, and factoring in the current cost of fuel and the distance, a ride to Arizona would run about $600 to $700, said Older, who added that even a car packed with several people who could take shifts driving would still be a bigger headache compared with flying.
The average cost of a round trip from Philadelphia to Phoenix is close to $700 with a short layover and about $3,000 for a direct path.
Older says that grocery shopping and making your own meals is another way to decrease the cost of your trip because you’ll be able to avoid stadium food and drink prices and expensive dining options included in ticket packages.
Outside of these tricks, the cheapest Super Bowl experience would be to go to Arizona without a ticket now that the cheapest prices hover around $5,000 and most all-inclusive packages are nearly $10,000. And prices are bound to increase the closer we get to Super Bowl Sunday.
