Super Bowl Tickets Buying Tips


Due to the increased demand and high profile of Super Bowl tickets, eBay strongly encourages that you trade smart and follow these important buying guidelines:

Use Common Sense

If the ticket offering and price seem too good to be true, they probably are.

Know Your Seller

Pay attention to the seller's feedback score and view the Member Profile to learn more about the ticket seller. This is an important tool that provides you with a clear history of items that a seller has sold in the past and the experiences buyers have had.
Carefully review feedback left from past transactions and look for a strong track-record (% positive should be higher than 98%).  Use the "Ask seller a question" link on the item listing page if you have any questions about the listing.

Use a Secure Payment Method

Use PayPal or a credit card to ensure maximum buying protection. If using PayPal, you should consider using your credit card as your "funding source" for your tickets to gain the added buyer protection that your credit card offers.
Avoid using instant cash transfer services such as MoneyGram or Western Union. 
Never bid on listings where the seller only accepts cash.

Avoid Off eBay Transactions

Never conduct business off of eBay in a "side deal", where the seller offers to sell you the tickets directly without bidding on and winning the item on eBay. 
  • You are unprotected in such transactions and are more susceptible to fraud.
Never respond to email inquiries from other sellers who may contact you based on your bidding on a Super Bowl ticket listing.
  • By bidding on Super Bowl ticket listing, you could become a target for fraudsters who may try to make you offers that are too good to be true.
  • Never, ever, provide your eBay account information unless you have navigated to eBay.com on your own (not by means of a link in an email, for example)
