This multi-purpose facility was designed by world-renowned architect Peter Eisenman and has the ability to host football, basketball, soccer, concerts, motorsports, rodeos, and corporate events. Many VIP seating areas and private luxury boxes are available only through annual or multi-year leases; others can be booked on a per-event basis. University of Phoenix Stadium can accommodate groups and parties of various sizes. Suite types include:
- Loft Level Private Suites: L207-L243 (seat up to 24)
- Club Level Private Suites: L301-L367 (seat up to 24)
- Club Level Party Suites: L327, L328, L370 (seat up to 124)
Three suites are designated as “Party Suites,” which are typically better suited to large groups, are often available for a single game (as opposed to full season leases), and include food and beverage in the cost. In addition to the listings publicly displayed on the SuiteHop Marketplace, we are often able to help clients secure both private and party suites through our offline network.
Private Rentals & Suite Ticket Prices
Premium full suite rentals for Arizona Cardinal games and other premium events are currently being offered for single game sale from $15,500 to $21,000, depending on the size and location of the luxury box. The same suites for lower demand events can often be reserved at a discount. Party Suite seat tickets range from $500 to $750 per seat. University of Phoenix Stadium does not currently offer or rent individual (shared) suite tickets.
Annual Suite Leases
Full-season leases are available directly from University of Phoenix Stadium, ranging from $80,000 - $190,000. Lease terms are currently offered in 1, 3, 5, and 7 year commitments. Suite owners with annual leases are allowed to buy additional suite and Club-level tickets, as well as non-suite tickets throughout the venue. University of Phoenix Stadium does not currently offer partial season leases.
Renting a University of Phoenix Stadium Suite Through SuiteHop
Pricing on SuiteHop is market-based, with suite owners determining the price at which they choose to list. The list price is a reflection of availability, the popularity of the event, the exact location of the suite, whether or not catering and parking passes are included, and the suite owner’s choice of selling their suite in its entirety or by the individual seat, among other factors.
Benefits of buying through SuiteHop may include...
- access to suites that are not otherwise available elsewhere, including when the event is sold out,
- ability to purchase individual tickets within suites,
- market-based pricing can be below box office pricing,
- transparent, real-time online pricing and ordering, and,
- availability of full event planning services including ticket distribution, RSVP/invitation management, celebrity appearances, branded promotional/gift items, dedicated in-suite concierge service, and more!
Renting a University of Phoenix Stadium Suite Through The Venue
Pricing through the box office is determined by team and/or venue management. Suite pricing is not typically published online and often requires offline contact with a sales representative. Large “Party Suites” sometimes sell individual tickets as part of a shared environment, while private suites usually require purchase of the entire space.
Benefits of buying through the venue may include…
- full year and multi-year suite leases only available through venue,
- venue pricing that is sometimes below marketplace pricing, and,
- a direct relationship with the venue for access to future promotions.
