Both high-profile guests are confirmed to attend the Big Game in New Orleans on Sunday, Feb. 9
Some Super Bowl attendees are trying to ensure they catch a glimpse of two famous faces this Sunday.
As NFL fans head to New Orleans to see the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles face off, PEOPLE spoke to Mike Zandman, President and CEO of luxury hospitality company Entertainment Access, all about the most in-demand seats his clients have been requesting for the Feb. 9 event held at Caesars Superdome.
“Everybody is hoping to see Taylor Swift or President Trump. Those are the two,” Zandman tells PEOPLE, adding that he truly doesn’t know where the high-profile guests will be sitting when his clients ask him — because no one does.

“I tell them, ‘You’re not the first person to ask me this, but this is something they keep under wraps,’” Zandman says of the security measures taken by the biggest VIPs. “There’s no way we’re going to find out what suite either of them are in until the game kicks off.”
While even event specialists may be in the dark about where Swift will be sitting to cheer on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Zandman recalls selling a suite to one of his clients last year that happened to be right below the Grammy-winning artist.
“I didn’t know at the time that she was going to be there,” Zandman remembers of the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas. “So whoever sat there just ended up getting lucky. She was literally right above them.”

Kelce’s older brother Jason, who announced his retirement as the Philadelphia Eagles’ center in March 2024, confirmed that Swift will be attending the Big Game for the second year in a row during an exclusive interview with PEOPLE on Feb. 4.
“Yeah, I think everybody’s coming in,” Jason said. “I mean, I don’t want to speak for everybody, but I think obviously, our whole family. I believe, obviously Trav and Taylor, and his family and his friends. I mean, Trav always travels like, full.”
He added of his younger brother, “Even when he’s in regular season mode… he’s always got a bunch of his friends there. It’s been this way his whole career. He’s kept in touch much better with a lot of the people from our hometown. So there’s always a loaded contingency for the Kelces, wherever we’re at.”

Swift, who just wrapped up her record-breaking Eras Tour in December 2024, has continued to show her support for Travis at Chiefs games over the course of the season. She has become a suite staple since her first appearance at one of his games in September 2023.

As for President Trump, Travis told reporters, including PEOPLE, at a media day on Feb. 5 that it is “a great honor” for the president to be attending the Super Bowl.
“That’s awesome. It’s a great honor,” he said. “I think you know, no matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there — it’s the best country in the world — and that’s pretty cool.”
Asked by a reporter whether having the president in attendance was a reason for “added pressure,” one of Kelce’s opponents, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, responded simply, “no ma’am.”
