SAN FRANCISCO — Fans who made travel plans for Super Bowl LX without having tickets in hand are seeing the get-in price drop significantly as they arrive in the Bay Area.

The get-in price for a pair of tickets as of Thursday afternoon was $4,226, down 11% over the past three days, according to ticket tracking service TicketData. That also marked a 36% drop since the get-in price hit $6,620 the day after the matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium was finalized.

Sunday will mark the Seahawks’ first Super Bowl since their loss to the Patriots in XLIX in Glendale, Ariz., 11 years ago. Since then, New England has appeared in three Super Bowls, but this is the first in the post-Tom Brady era and during the Patriots’ first year under coach Mike Vrabel.

Super Bowl LX will also be the first title game held at Levi’s Stadium since Super Bowl 50 in 2016.

The record prices for Super Bowl LVIII two years ago in Las Vegas, where get-in prices topped $7,000 shortly after the matchup between the 49ers and Chiefs was finalized, doesn’t appear to be in jeopardy. The average get-in price ultimately rose to a record of nearly $8,900 before dipping to just over $7,000 on game day.

Last year’s Super Bowl prices eventually dropped to an average of $2,109 on game day, due in large part to New Orleans’ limited hotel capacity along with what was dubbed “Chiefs fatigue” leading into the game won by Philadelphia over Kansas City.

Seattle is currently a consensus 5.0-point favorite to beat New England in Super Bowl LX, a tick up from 4.5 points at most major sportsbooks for the past week.

The Baltimore Orioles acquired utility player Blaze Alexander from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday for right-hander Kade Strowd and a pair of minor leaguers, righty Wellington Aracena and infielder Jose Mejia.

Alexander, 26, batted .230 with seven home runs and 28 RBIs in 74 games last season for the Diamondbacks. In parts of two seasons since making his MLB debut in March 2024, he is batting .237 with 10 homers and 49 RBIs in 135 games.

He has played shortstop, second base, third base, left field, center field and designated hitter. Arizona selected Alexander in the 11th round of the 2018 MLB Draft.

Strowd, 28, made his major league debut last May. He went 0-1 with a 1.71 ERA, 13 walks and 24 strikeouts in 26 1/3 innings over 25 games for the Orioles.

Baltimore picked Strowd in the 12th round of the 2019 draft.

Aracena, 21, was acquired by Baltimore as part of a July 2025 trade that sent left-hander Gregory Soto to the New York Mets. Aracena was ranked the No. 23 prospect in the Orioles organization for 2026 by Baseball America and No. 26 by MLB Pipeline.

Mejia, 20, batted .271 (35-for-129) in 49 games last season, mostly with the Florida Complex League Orioles.

Talor Gooch shot his second straight round of 5-under-par 67 to join Peter Uihlein and Belgium’s Thomas Detry atop the leaderboard after the second round of LIV Golf Riyadh on Thursday in Saudi Arabia.

The trio is at 10-under 134 halfway through the event. Uihlein and LIV newcomer Detry were the first-round co-leaders but each shot a 69 on the second day.

Gooch rolled in four of his six birdies on the front nine and limited himself to a single bogey at Riyadh Golf Club.

“My intention is to play as good as I can,” Gooch said. “But I think if you were to tell me you would give me 67 every round and I don’t have to play, I would take it and just watch how the cards fall.”

Gooch is the new captain of Smash GC after the departure of Brooks Koepka to return the PGA Tour. Smash combined to score 20 under par on Thursday to move to 30 under for the event, a three-shot lead over Joaquin Niemann’s Torque GC.

Jason Kokrak turned in the round of the day, an 8-under 64, to bolster Smash’s total. That also put Kokrak at 9 under for the tournament, one off the pace and tied with Jon Rahm of Spain, Sebastian Munoz of Colombia and Elvis Smylie of Australia.

“Talor has been a great captain so far. Leads by example,” Kokrak said. “… I think the four of us are going to have a lot of fun this year.”

Uihlein, who picked up three of his birdies during a five-hole stretch at Nos. 13-17, has his sights set on the individual leaderboard as the top 10 finishers will collect Official World Golf Ranking points for the first time.

“Individual is the only thing I’ve got going for me,” said Uihlein, whose RangeGoats are in 11th place in the team competition. “… Now that we get world ranking points, you can jump up in the OWGR and try and get in the majors. That’s definitely the goal.

“Yeah, it would be awesome, right? There’s some unbelievable players out here, and to say you’ve won and beat them definitely would be pretty special.”

Detry is in a prime position to win his LIV Golf debut, a year to the week when he won on the PGA Tour for the first time at the 2025 WM Phoenix Open.

“I like to make statements, and especially my first sort of job, first week for me out here. There’s loads of different things,” Detry explained. “Again, I didn’t really know what to expect, how I was going to react to it, and I put a lot of hard work the last couple of weeks with my coach at home, and I feel like it’s all paying off, too.”
