Was there a Super Bowl slump?

Five charts to start your day

If you missed it, it was the Super Bowl on Sunday. And as you probably already guessed, one of the most cherished aspects of the game is the adverts. In fact, while the popularity of the adverts has increased, overall interest in the big game appears to be falling. Take a look at the chart below.

Ticket prices have dropped sharply. They now cost, on average, $3,491 including taxes and fees – a far cry from the nearly $8,764 seen in 2022. Resale platforms, such as StubHub, report that average ticket prices are down 16 percent from last year, even as ticket sales have risen by 12 percent as some fans seize the bargain.
