The distribution of Super Bowl tickets goes through the NFL in three ways.
First, the league allocates a certain portion of passes to the playing teams, who then distribute them to fans and supporters. Then, another batch of tickets is given to the remaining teams in the league. Lastly, fans may be selected for tickets through a prize draw.
Of course, none of those pathways offer a guarantee. If you don't want to risk it, you can turn to secondary ticket market sites like StubHub to find passes for the big game.
