Depending upon the matchup, the average Super Bowl ticket costs $4,000 to $5,000, according to SeatGeek. However, the resale ticket price for Super Bowl LIV on Ticketmaster starts at $5,211. If that number seems a little high, consider an alternative: the Super Bowl watch party. Because Miami will host the NFL’s 54th championship game this Sunday, February 2, expect local viewing parties to be bigger than ever.
If you’re looking for a safe bet and a ticket price you can afford, these Super Bowl LIV watch parties fit the bill.
The Wharf Miami
Overlooking the Miami River, the Wharf will offer one of the Magic City’s most scenic game-day experiences. Enjoy live DJ sets during commercial breaks, along with eats by the Wharf’s fabulous food trucks, including Cracked by Chef Adrianne, La Santa Taquería, and Spris Artisan Pizza, all without missing a single play. Noon Sunday at the Wharf Miami, 114 SW North River Dr., Miami; 305-906-4000; wharfmiami.com. Admission is free.
Basement Miami
Developed by the legendary Ian Schrager of Studio 54 (a good omen for the superstitious fan), Basement will host a watch party pumped up by the sounds of DJ Sachi. Partygoers and football fans alike can enjoy $20 beer bucket specials as well as a beer-and-shot combo for $10 from 5 to 11 p.m. The multiple big-screens throughout the nightclub will be tuned into the gridiron action.5 p.m. Sunday at Basement Miami, 2901 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-988-5036; basementmiami.com.

Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale; 954-764-7005; americansocialbar.com.
E11even Miami
If E11even knows one thing, it’s to go big or go home — and the 24-hour nightclub isn’t a fan of the latter.
