how do secondary markets get all the Super Bowl tickets?

I get that some are allocated to the team and sponsors but then I don’t understand how the other 90% are all on stubhub, etc

Because the primary seller of tickets, ALSO owns stub hub.They hire their own agents to buy off the primary website, which creates the artificially increase demand, and then those same agents repost the tickets on stub hub at inflated prices, justified by the “high demand”

They don’t; teams playing and the other owners in the league get the bulk to give to their sponsors and media partners. It’s upwards of 70%, half of which goes to the teams playing (to their sponsors, media, and season ticket holder lottery), then each team in the league gets a handout, in addition to NFL sponsors and media partnerships on a national level. It’s a corporate game.
