"The inevitable surge pricing is now underway as the Super Bowl tourists come pouring into SF (and Santa Clara), with some hotels up to nearly $2,500 a night, and some SF Airbnb units costing $2,000 for the weekend stay. The tourists are already showing up in San Francisco for this weekend's Super Bowl that is counterintuitively 50 miles away in Santa Clara, as tens of thousands of them are already here."
"The screenshot above is from an Expedia search, and mind you we searched on a Friday through Monday three-night stay. So those are not single-night prices reflected above. And we do not see a single-night price as high as the $2,400 figure Anderson cited (though I'm sure they're out there, they just didn't show up on an Expedia search). But the standout, most-expensive result is that $3,923 three-night stay in the lower lefthand corner, which is the Luma Hotel ($1,307 for a single night)."
Tens of thousands of Super Bowl tourists have begun arriving in San Francisco even though the game is approximately 50 miles away in Santa Clara. Lodging prices in the city have surged into levels typical of major conference weeks, with some hotel nights approaching $2,500 and some Airbnb weekend stays reaching about $2,000. Available room rates generally span roughly $700 to $2,400 per night during the weekend compression. A Friday–Monday three-night search showed a top three-night result of $3,923 at the Luma Hotel ($1,307 per night). Several hotels and Airbnb listings remain under $1,000 for the three-night weekend.
