That tracks. A friend of mine had been keeping an eye on tickets before our game, just in case.  He said the ones he looked at that were $10K each are now $6,500, and lower bowl 20 yard line seats that were $14K are now $9K.  
 

Sellers were hoping for a Bills Mafia tax.

So where are we on this?

honestly, I think the biggest thing is it’s near impossible to get a hotel room - so the buying market with big funds is shrinking. No celeb wants to stay in Baton Rouge

Ha! That is exactly where I would have stayed.  My friend has family there.

It wouldn’t shock me one bit if this is the least viewed Super Bowl in league history… I know I have no interest in watching it… If I see the chiefs are losing in the 4th quarter o may turn it on and root for them to lose but that’s about it

I know I’m still bitter and all and a Bills fan but I’m not interested in any of it. Typically I like the week leading up to bowl for story lines and such but won’t even watch what talking heads say as it’s just boring. I’ll probably follow score but also wint turn on unless chiefs getting killed….which I kinda hope for but eagles fan base a bit obnoxious.

Well, perhaps the suits will consider fair officiating and actually using the tech they have access to, in order to call games efficiently.

 

Oh, who am I kidding... they'll just make it worse.

If you can bear to not watch the Super Bowl, you can help drive down the ratings. Especially if you use a streaming service like YouTube TV. You're viewing is instantly reported to the Nielsen Ratings. At least watch on over-the-air TV or at a bar. And if you happen to be a Nielsen household this week, don't turn the TV on Sunday night.

My house is in.. I’m not watching this year.

This.  I hate both teams. I’m not watching, not interested, don’t want the NFl to get the ratings.

It's really not that hard for me, even in my best case scenario I'd still be having to watch the Eagles win the SB, they're better ways to make my eyes bleed

My lack of excitement has nothing to do with the Bills not being there this year. It’s odd because this year’s Super Bowl features the top seeds in both conferences with star players galore and yet somehow it just feels really really dull. Reminds me of the year the Ravens played the Giants….another snore fest.

Don’t forget terrible halftime show as well.

Prices continue to drop.  They're now (Thursday afternoon) about half what they were when the conference championship games were played.  Get in (600 level) at Ticketmaster & Stubhub! is now around $3,500 after fees.  Lower endzone down to around $5,600.  NFL On Location, which was lower is now higher than Ticketmaster & StubHub!.

True. It would take some real willpower to not watch come Sunday night. But like I said, if you don't want to contribute to the ratings measurement, watch over the air TV, assuming you don't have a Nielsen measuring device on your set that week.

I find boycotts to be pretty useless, especially of free items.  Most people are not participants of a rating service & whether they watch or not will have zero effect on the TV ratings. If someone doesn't want to watch the game, that's fine, but if they're not watching, thinking they are a social warrior, they're mistaken. 

 

Just about anything can go too far.  I recently spoke to a Californian who said they weren't bathing in order to save water.

F this Super Bowl.
