Chicken Boo Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 No chance in hell I'd ever spend that amount on a football game. That's ridiculous!

Albany,n.y. Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) I've been tracking the get in cost of SB tickets this week on StubHub!. Before the championship games the price with fees (which are around 24% higher than the list price) was around $6,000. It dropped to $5,000 shortly after the games were played. I looked today and on 2 browsers I got 2 different answers. On Edge StubHub!'s get in tickets were going around $4,500 to $4,600. On Chrome they were $5,000. So one thing I learned is not only to time the market (Past history predicts tomorrow evening will have the lowest prices), but check on multiple browsers when looking to buy. Since I'm not in the market for tickets this year, all my monitoring is for future reference when the Bills make it. Edited January 25, 2020 by Albany,n.y.

What is BS is how they charge their fees based on a percentage of the ticket sale price. Their service/work is the same whether it is a $20 or $20,000 ticket. Look at this breakdown from a couple of lower level end zone seats for the superbowl. $3,670.50 in fees! ORDER TOTAL $15,016.50USD Ticket price 2 x $5,673.00 Service Fee 2 x $1,830.00 Delivery Fee 2 x $5.25 Considering cost of ticket they should be raising delivery fee so they can have it delivered with a Brinks truck. Coworker got tickets to NFC championship game and tickets never showed up by the time he needed to get to plane. It got resolved but he needed to spend several hours in hotel on phone/internet getting it corrected, No explanation was given on why it was not delivered and they still charged delivery fee.

I don't know, but today (Tuesday afternoon) there's a $700 difference. Edge has the lowest priced tickets at around $5,500, Chrome at around $6,200 for the same tickets. It looks like Saturday, 8 days before the game, was the best day to buy this year Prices have gone up by $1,000 and more since Saturday. So if the Bills make it next year, I'm buying on Saturday afternoon.

There are ways around that, like staying 2 hours away (or less) & driving in the day of the game, then driving back to your pregame location. That's similar to what I did the year I went to the Kentucky Derby. I found a Rally Bus to the Derby out of Indianapolis, a little more than 100 miles from Louisville, flew into to Indy Friday night, took a cab to a motel a block away from the bus pickup point, got up Saturday morning, took the bus to the Derby, got back to Indy around 11 PM, took a cab to the airport Sunday morning & flew back to NYS Sunday. I flew out of Newburgh rather than Albany since my friend who joined me at the Derby lives in Beacon and flights were cheaper out of Newburgh so he won the airport based on price. After I got back to Beacon, I drove home. I also did something similar when the Super Bowl was 2.5 hours from my house when they played the game at MetLife stadium. I got up in the morning, drove to NJ, parked at Stubhub's parking, took a Stubhub chartered bus 5 miles to the game, got a motel in northern NJ near the NYS line (Holiday Inn, not a cheapie) for $115 and drove home after I got up. Unfortunately, I should have just driven home after the game since after I checked in I watched the news weather forecast & NY/NJ was getting a snowstorm and to beat the snow I got up in the middle of the night & left before 4 AM to beat the snowstorm. Also flying into an airport a couple of hours from the event site will save you hundreds in airfare & car rental $. When I went to SBXXV, I flew into Orlando and rented a car in Orlando then stayed in Orlando motels my 1st & last nights and drove down to the motel in Treasure Island that was included in the Disney package .

After I got back to Beacon, I drove home. I do the same thing every time that I go to the Derby … countless times for anyone wondering. I always stay in Florence KY just over the Ohio Kentucky border for 100 a night instead of the 700 a night that they want in Louisville. Much like what I do when I head up to Saratoga for the races in August when I stay by the Albany Airport for 125 a night instead of the 600 plus that is common for a room in Saratoga. With a little bit of a drive one attending big events can save a boatload of cash with a drive of 30 minutes to an hour.

OZBILLS Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 I have a savings fund for Bills superbowl tickets. I'll need about 40k AUD minimum for this
Mr. WEO Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 I weeks ago unwittingly scheduled a colonoscopy the day after the SB. February seemed so far away back then. Wings for breakfast on Sunday. Then the pregame show starts with my bowel prep...

Something like, trying to get you to buy sooner at certain times. 1
T master Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 I like it better from my couch !! Pretty soon it will be a pay per view event seeing how the NFL loves that M.O.N.E.Y. !
