Many fans showed up at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara to watch the players load up on busses to head out to the Midwest.
At this point, Ticket Master is only selling standing-room-only tickets, about $150 apiece.
Fans are only allowed to buy four per household.

"This is Niner nation right here," said Joel Alvarez. "We're going to make our mark this year. We're going to go down to the Super Bowl, win the Super Bowl, this is it."
