After the Los Angeles Rams came back in a thriller Sunday to defeat the San Francisco 49ers for the right to host the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium, prices for the big game exploded.

On Ticketmaster, the official seller for the Super Bowl, tickets for nosebleed seats Monday were starting at $6,979, with fees included. Tickets in VIP section 111 on the 50-yard line were selling for a staggering $43,650.

Third-party sites were not much better. On SeatGeek, tickets in the upper deck were starting at $7,320 with fees. Tickets in the 100-level ranged from about $14,000 to $53,000.

According to the site TickPick, the average price of a ticket on its website was $8,498.
