First things first: Can I still get tickets?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ticketmaster<\/a> sells verified tickets, including resale ones, on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those who live life on the edge, according to Ticketmaster\u2019s FAQ, tickets will \u201cremain available for resale on the NFL Ticket Exchange<\/a> up to 60 minutes after kickoff.\u201d<\/p>\n

But be warned: As of publication, the lowest price for Super Bowl tickets is around $7,410<\/a>. On Location<\/a> is an official partner of the NFL and still has more luxury packages available for the game, starting at $7,750.<\/p>\n

You can also try your luck with other resale websites like StubHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What time is the Super Bowl?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. PST<\/a> on Feb. 8, and gates to Levi\u2019s Stadium open several hours before, at 11:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

According to the National Football League, \u201csecurity screening in and around Levi\u2019s Stadium will be significantly heightened for Super Bowl LX.\u201d<\/a> With that, expected traffic and <\/em>tailgating, you\u2019ll want to make sure you get to the stadium early for a more comfortable entry.<\/p>\n

How can I get to Levi\u2019s Stadium by car?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Expect road closures in Santa Clara and San Francisco<\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be several closures of parking lots, shuttle routes, walkways and bike paths <\/a>around Levi\u2019s Stadium and Santa Clara generally, mostly due to Super Bowl security.<\/p>\n

The major one to know<\/a>: Stars & Stripes Drive is now closed and will remain so through Feb. 22. However, \u201caccess to the Great America Transit Station will be maintained.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

You can get local updates from local officials <\/a>by texting SBLX to 888-777 (Santa Clara) and SUPERBOWL to 672-83 (San Mateo).<\/p>\n

San Francisco will also be hosting an array of Super Bowl-related events up until Feb. 10. There will be traffic and closures around Howard Street, Fourth Street and Mission Street, around the Moscone Center and at other locations, including Grace Cathedral. You can view a detailed map of these changes on the SF Bay Area Super Bowl website<\/a>, and get real-time updates about traffic by texting SuperBowlSF to 888-777.<\/p>\n

Where can I find parking at Levi\u2019s Stadium?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

More information on how to book official parking at Levi\u2019s Stadium on Feb. 8 for Super Bowl LX will be available on Jan. 30<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you need accessible parking, according to Levi\u2019s Stadium, <\/a>you should contact the Super Bowl LX coordinator<\/a> at superbowlada@gmail.com<\/a> or +1-888-745-1455.<\/p>\n

You can always try for unofficial parking near the stadium, which you can find on third-party websites like ParkWhiz<\/a> or SpotHero<\/a>. These will likely still mean a long walk<\/a> \u2014 almost a mile \u2014 to the stadium. If you\u2019re doing this, be sure to map the route using a tool like Google Maps to ensure you know how long you have to walk and the shortest route to do so.<\/p>\n

Some of your walk will be on a gravel path, which can be hard on the feet, so wear comfy shoes. Reddit users advised that pedicabs may be available to take you to the stadium.<\/p>\n

How can I get to Levi\u2019s Stadium by public transportation?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Traffic on the roads surrounding Levi\u2019s Stadium will be heavy \u2013 but the Bay Area does have plenty of transit options to get to the venue, which is very close to the Great America VTA station<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Expect large crowds on public transit to the game, map out your route and keep track of scheduling to make sure you don\u2019t get stranded after the game.<\/p>\n

Will I need to buy my public transit tickets to the Super Bowl in advance?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virtually all Bay Area public transit services, including VTA in Santa Clara, use Clipper Card<\/a> to pay for their services. But if you don\u2019t want to purchase one, a convenient alternative<\/a> for out-of-towners is tapping your credit card, debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay directly on the turnstile \u2014 no Clipper required.<\/p>\n

Other non-Clipper transit agencies, like the Capitol Corridor train network<\/a>, highly recommend you buy tickets before <\/em>Super Bowl Sunday \u2014 as they expect trains to reach capacity.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that the following are subject to change on the day of the Super Bowl:<\/p>\n

VTA Light Rail<\/strong><\/p>\n

Great America and Lick Mill stations are the VTA stations closest to Levi\u2019s Stadium. You can view the available rail and bus service on VTA\u2019s Super Bowl page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

According to VTA\u2019s website, there will be extra light rail and bus return service up to two hours after the game. But, the agency said, that two-hour timer \u201cwill start when the game ends, NOT 2 hours after the trophy ceremony.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage customers to reach their return stop location immediately following the event,\u201d the agency\u2019s website reads. \u201cLight rail customers need to get in queue lines on the Gate A side of the stadium for those traveling to Mountain View\/Caltrain or Gate F for those traveling to Milpitas BART, Alum Rock, Winchester and Santa Teresa.\u201d<\/p>\n

For a more personalized trip, you can plan out your route on VTA\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Caltrain<\/strong><\/p>\n

Caltrain is expected to provide \u201cits regular half-hourly weekend service\u201d<\/a> for the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

You should take the Caltrain to Mountain View Station and then transfer to the VTA Light Rail Orange.<\/p>\n

You can plan out your trip using Caltrain\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Capitol Corridor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Capital Corridor has a detailed breakdown<\/a> of how to get to Levi\u2019s Stadium from San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose and Sacramento.<\/p>\n

You can view the full schedule on its website (link to PDF)<\/a>, and get off at the Great America stop to get to Levi\u2019s Stadium. The last train leaves Great America around 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

According to a notice by Capitol Corridor<\/a>, all services for Super Bowl Sunday \u201cwill require reservations and tickets will need to be purchased ahead of your chosen train\u2019s departure,\u201d and that the agency does \u201cexpect trains to reach capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that Capitol Corridor does not<\/em> accept Clipper Cards, and you will need to buy a train ticket<\/a> either online or at the station.<\/p>\n

ACE Rail<\/strong><\/p>\n

ACE Rail\u2019s schedule for the Super Bowl is available on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get off the Great America stop for Levi\u2019s Stadium. The returning train leaving Great America heads out at 9:30 p.m. A round-trip ticket bought in the ACE Rail app is around $20, and you can map out your route on ACE\u2019s homepage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ACE does not<\/em> use Clipper Cards<\/a>, and you will need to buy tickets either online or at the station.<\/p>\n

BART<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are coming from the East Bay<\/a>, take BART to the Milpitas Station and transfer to the VTA Light Rail Orange Line. (You will need to walk over the pedestrian bridge to access VTA services.) You\u2019ll then ride to the Lick Mill Station for Levi\u2019s Stadium.<\/p>\n

If you are coming from San Francisco or San Mateo County<\/a>, take BART to Millbrae Station, then head towards West Plaza\/El Camino Real to Caltrain Southbound on Platform 5. Get off at Mountain View and transfer to VTA\u2019s Orange Line to Lick Mill or Great America.<\/p>\n

You can map out your route on BART\u2019s Trip Planner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What will rideshare like Lyft and Uber look like at Levi\u2019s Stadium?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to the NFL website, a \u201cdedicated geofence will be in place on gameday that is separate from the Super Bowl week rideshare locations.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What this means: If you\u2019re trying to call a Lyft or Uber to Levi\u2019s Stadium after the game, these Super Bowl locations will automatically appear on your rideshare app<\/a>, and generally be around Red Lot 7.<\/p>\n

You should expect high ride costs due to the sheer number of rideshare requests expected that day.<\/p>\n

What is the Levi\u2019s Stadium bag policy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A key way to get through the gate a little quicker is to follow the bag policy. There is no bag check service at Levi\u2019s Stadium for the Super Bowl, and KQED also advises you not to leave anything in your car if you choose to park at or near the venue.<\/a><\/p>\n

Levi\u2019s Stadium will be adhering to the NFL\u2019s own policy for security. According to the NFL, it \u201creserves the right to prohibit any item deemed dangerous or inappropriate.\u201d\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

While the NFL discourages you altogether from bringing a bag to the stadium, permitted items include<\/a>:<\/p>\n
