Are superbowl tickets always this expensive?

[Freebeer187]

For fun I went on StubHub to see the prices of the upcoming Super bowl. The cheapest ticket was $10,240! Tickets near the field are as high as $35,000. The average ticket is $11,000 to $15,000. Are people really spending this much on one game?

Sports are fucking retarded.

Except hockey. But even then Stanley Cup ticket prices are retarded.

 

[Ti28]

FUCK that!

 

[Smokinhot]

Inflation like a motherfucker. Crazy how expensive the Hawks tickets sell for too, for regular season in the nose bleeds. I like going to the games, but it's just more entertaining sitting on the damn couch...

 

[RICH17]

stubhub is a rip off

 

[Shibby50]

Looking a few years ago they were in the 5-7k range or the cheapest so yeah that's prolly spot on.

I found a few for 3500 on Craigslist

SUPERBOWL XLIX TICKETS

 

[Euro]

Fuck that. Wouldn't pay anything over $100 for Super Bowl tickets

 

[TonzKnock-G]

Crazy, unless you have mad loot.

 

[slashslash50]

I looked at em last week just to see what they were going for and stubhub had plenty of seats for right around $2500.

TV works great, its free too!

 

[SMRTSS1]

That's because less than 10% of the tickets are available to the general public. They go to sponsors, private firms and players.

 

[boostedguy05]

Fuck that. Wouldn't pay anything over $100 for Super Bowl tickets

i dont even think you can get regular season bears tickets for under $100.00

 

[VenomousDSG]

You are nuts if you spend that kind of money to watch a silly game.... If I were a millionaire I wouldn't pay more than $500 for a front row seat to one.

 

[01Cobra]

Corporate entertainment expense

That's funny because the general fucking public retards are the ones who dell out the money during normal season to keep things running.

And people wonder why I can't fucking stand sports.

HA, Before Rocky Wirtz started televising Hawks games you were able to go to games cheap whenever you wanted. Now there are so many bandwagon fans and tickets are bookoo $$$$...

 

[Stink Star]

I just buy Hawks tickets before the season starts and even in great 100 level seats, they are like $120 each. Not cheap but not breaking the bank either. I'll never understand the people who buy tickets for $500 each. I've sat aginst the glass next to the penalty box before and didn't pay nearly that much.

Lol that's because that was the only place to even see a hawks game at the time

Yea and they never sold out. 15 years ago you went to the UC to see a Hawks game and it was half full...

 

[Stink Star]

It's hard to build a fan base when you don't televise your home games.

I went 4 years straight going to almost all of the Hawks home games and MAYBE missed one game a month, now that'd cost me 8 years salary. I love that the fan base has forced the team to be better (more money does that) but I hate all the "trendy" Hawks fans.

My buddy just got 2 section 140 seats for this superbowl for $1200 a piece. Thats face value. He will be there. Lucky bastard.

I've heard that too. Have no desire to go to a game with tickets that expensive. Would rather sit on my couch and drink beer in climate controlled air

 

[VenomInside]

I was looking at going to the game as well but those ticket prices. I'd rather save the money and watch it on tv.
