Donna Kelce reveals how ‘pricey’ Super Bowl 2024 suites are impacting her plans
Donna Kelce doesn’t seem confident she’ll be in a suite at Super Bowl 2024.
The Kelce family matriarch — whose youngest son, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is playing in the big game against the 49ers on Sunday — discussed the “pricey” box seats at Allegiant Stadium during an appearance Wednesday on the “Today” show and said she has a feeling she’ll be in the stands.
“Well, you can understand that the boxes in Vegas are multi-million dollars, so I have a feeling I’m not in a box,” Donna said.
“I have a feeling I am in the stands … As far as I know, I’m in the stands with everyone else because it is a pricey Super Bowl.”
Donna’s comments came after Lisa McCaffrey, the mother of 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, said last week that she won’t be taking in the Super Bowl from a suite because “none of us can afford it — not even Christian, money bags over there — nor money bags Olivia [Culpo],” his fiancée.
Suites for this year’s Super Bowl range in price from $800,000 to $2,000,000 according to TickPick, an online marketplace for event tickets.
Culpo, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, caught wind of Lisa’s comments and posted on her Instagram Story that she was going to buy a suite for Lisa’s birthday.

That’s when McCaffrey put a stop to his fiancée’s plan.
“She tried to but I will not let anybody pay to watch me play. I had to nix that,” McCaffrey told Extra during the Super Bowl Opening Night on Monday.
Lisa also explained that she secured eight tickets and was able to “negotiate” a reserved area to watch her son play in his first Super Bowl.
Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, is expected to attend the big game despite having an Eras Tour concert in Tokyo the night before.
