Just Jack Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 According to ABC News, about 3,800 tickets are still available for the game. I wonder if they'll black it out if it doesn't sell out.

The Wiz Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 According to ABC News, about 3,800 tickets are still available for the game. I wonder if they'll black it out if it doesn't sell out. Ticketmaster.... http://www.ticketexc...PLASH_PG_MODULE I'm guessing you are being sarcastic but I can think of 3 reasons off the top of my head they wouldn't: 1. It's the super bowl 2. I don't know how it works with regular season games, but the amount of money invested into super bowl commercials would likely draw some backlash(lawsuits) from businesses. 3. PROFIT! Although, not selling out the super bowl and not blacking out their markets would be a nice little nugget for the FCC to wave around when they blackout local games.

Just Jack Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Unsold, or on secondary markets (like ticket exchange)? Based on some of the prices at the Ticketmaster link, I think it's a mix of unsold and resellers. It was mentioned as part of their reporting of some fake SB tickets being good enough to get you in the game. http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/sports&id=9410498 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewildrabbit Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It will sell out IMO. Although, If any here are thinking of going I'd wait until Saturday to buy tickets as i think the prices will keep dropping. The teams playing in the game are from the other side of the country and its far to cold for the rich folks to sit out in the elements for 3-4 hours.

Dean Cain Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Just the typical profiteers speculating some jackass Seattle or Denver fan will drop 200-500% above face value. I'd probably do the same if it were the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homey D. Clown Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Maybe they should consider playing at least one superbowl game a year in toronto, since they can't sell out the game in the winter months... It's just not a viable market.... right Russ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Goodell Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Aren't all the rich folks sitting in the luxury suites? I'll be sitting outside with the real fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) I'll be sitting outside with the real fans. Until the anthem is over. Then it's inside with all the rich fans where you belong. So lower bowl sideline endzone tickets on ticket exchange for $5000 each. Lower bowl 50 yard line row 9. Someone has 8 tickets they are trying to sell for $25,572 each. Do people really pay that kind of money to see a football game?

Unless I'm missing something. When I first posted, there was a little over 3,300 tickets available, and cheapest seat was about $1750. Now I see there's 200 less available and cheapest seat is $1580. It will be interesting to check again on Friday and see how it compares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I see there's 200 less available and cheapest seat is $1580. It will be interesting to check again on Friday and see how it compares. that can be not just tickets selling, but also listings expiring. im still pretty sure its only second hand tickets on the site though (ie the game is sold out). odds are itll level out in the 1200-1500 range for the cheap seats Until the anthem is over.

Someone has 8 tickets they are trying to sell for $25,572 each. Do people really pay that kind of money to see a football game? well at those prices, its less about the football game and more about the "super bowl experience" and why ive been saying NY in Feb was a risky choice for a ton of reasons -- and id bet the 25k ones are just someone saying "im going unless someone gives me a ridiculous amount of money for my tickets." just because they are listed at that doesnt mean anyones paying that much for them.

Just Jack Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Under 2,000 tickets remain, starting at $1400 each. And scalpers are disappointed..... http://www.nj.com/super-bowl/index.ssf/2014/01/ticket_scalpers_this_is_the_worst_super_bowl_ever.html "This is the worst Super Bowl ever," Lloyd, a 42-year-old ticket scalper hanging outside Brooklyn's Barclays Center, told New York Magazine. "Nobody likes the cold weather, they always want a warm climate. Usually around this time I'd be up $20 - to - $30,000. Last year, New Orleans was beautiful - I made $40,000. New York, I don't know why they did it. I'd be happy if I make $5,000." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that would be the rich celebrities who didn't have to pay to get in and don't give a damn about the game. They are there simply because it's the place to be.

Do people really pay that kind of money to see a football game? only people actually paying with their own cash for this game on the 10% of the tickets alloted to each team that typically get sold in that teams lottery for tickets. The remaining 80% are given to folks as business entertainment Someone said only the rich will be inside...amend that to only the uber rich will be inside, outside will only be the rich...and the rest of us slubs are in front of the TV Edited January 31, 2014 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
