About 1,250 fans in total were displaced ahead of the game, with 850 given alternative seats.
The NFL says safety was the reason and promised a review.
Those turned away will be given a refund of triple the face value.
However, even $2,700 for $900 tickets may not be enough for those who paid much more to scalpers, not to mention travel and hotel costs.
Meanwhile an Aussie who once quit his job and sold his home to follow a gridiron team around America for a year has returned to the US to watch his Green Bay Packers play in the Super Bowl.
Wayne Scullino quit his job as a sales executive in 2007 and sold his home in Sydney to pay for a year of following the Packers.
He has a ticket to today's big game thanks to a fellow Packers fan and says if his team wins he'll fly back to Green Bay in Wisconsin for the victory parade before flying home.
