Super Bowl ticket prices nosedive

[Albany,n.y.]

Not that it matters to us now, but the cheapest Super Bowl tickets have dropped $2,000 since Monday.  They started around $6,000, went up to $6.500 a few days ago & tonight at 12:03 AM they're at $3,600.  This is from NFL On Location, fees included.  StubHub is seeing the same price drops. They're a little higher than On Location, but have dropped 2 grand too.

Maybe it’s because, I’m just surmising, that Chiefs and Eagle fans don’t travel like other teams fans do.

More likely that most people don't want to pay $6500 for a crappy seat, and get gouged at hotel rooms, restaurants, golf courses.... I live in AZ, the pricing at some of these places this week is outrageous. The Phoenix Open is also going on this week so it's really nuts right now.

$6500 is insane price. Only an idiot would pay that. Facts. Remember that when watching the game on tv in the comfort of your home, all those people you see in the stance are idiots.

As an added bonus when you are home you can ignore the POS halftime show. At the stadium you have to suffer through it.

There is no real interest in the game. No great underdog story,  no one you truly want to cheer against. Add into the fact the Chiefs and Eagles both have won rather e entry and it seems even their fan bases don’t care that much.. law of supply and demand.

Actually, I want to cheer against both of these teams. Both fan bases are arrogant & obnoxious & unbearable. LOL The lesser of 2 evils, I think, are the Chiefs, so I hope they win it. 😉

I went to Bills 1st 3 Superbowls and most I paid for a ticket was $150

Maybe it’s an ominous sign that there’s seemingly a lack of interest.

 

But people drop a decent buck to go the draft, which is free at home.

 

…..whatever, the NFL will continue squeezing money out of their fans.

won the season ticket holder lottery one year so that helped.

In this economy people aren’t going to pay those ticket prices just for a football game much less the other expenses a trip to Phoenix is going to cost. You're talking a family of 4…with all the other amenities probably paying 20,000 dollars minimum.

You can 10 of that and goto Hawaii for the week and your kids and wife will be happier anyway.

Having a superbowl party in your own home with friends and family and a bunch of good food is just way better than being crammed in a loud stadium with thousands of strangers.

I wouldn't pay that price in any economy

Not Super Bowl related but your post also hits home with the Bills new stadium. They know 60,000 is probably a good number for the WNY market. Raised ticket prices and PSL fees will have many Bills fans watching the games from home instead of the stadium.

People are paying a lot to go.  Hotels are booked,  golf courses are booked... the economy is just fine out here. 

I work at a very high end golf course,  we are charging an awful lot this week and we are booked solid.

The Super Bowl is largely a corporate event, but market forces still apply. My wife was supposed to attend and schmooze with clients, but she did everything she could to find a replacement and got out of it. It was just cross country travel and working all weekend as far as she was concerned. If you’ve been to one SB (which we have), there is no great desire to attend another, at least for us.

The SB has morphed into a show for the rich and corporations. It is a whose who event and regular fans are left in the dust because of it. I would love to see each team get 5000 tickets and they are lotteried to season ticket price for season ticket holders but that is never happening.
