Super Bowl ticket prices cratering.

kind of a ho hum matchup.   fans are tired of KC and the run-50-times-a-game Eagles are boring

I disagree. There are some interesting match ups in this game. An excellent Iggles DL vs the worst OL Mahomes has had. Saquon vs the KC defense. I think if they run away from Jones they’ll be in good shape. I wouldn’t match McDuffie up against AJ Brown, but it’ll be interesting if they do. And a final opportunity this season to root against the Chiefs. Plus I think the Iggles have a better team overall and can win this one.

SuperBowl LIX: America doesn’t care

 

Im very interested to see the ratings this year. 

They‘ll be inflated of course.

 

Gotta keep charging bug bucks for those ads!

[corta765]

The bigger issue is PHI in the game instead of literally any other opponent. KC at least is going for history with a threepeat and the whole Taylor swift element adds viewers whether I care or not. But there is nothing interesting about PHI to me and it creates another boring rematch like last year.

Hope this is an early benchmark for SB TV ratings

You  just hit on something I honesty should have considered. It's the Taylor Swift effect.

 

Of course the ratings will be better this year. Right? all the swiftie minions will tune  in wait and see SMH

People are either sick of the Chiefs or hate the Chiefs due to officiating.   Not the same as the hate for Brady/Pats/Evil Empire, which was more based on the Jordan-esque ability of Brady.

 

Eagles, despite having known players, don't really move the needle because Jalen Hurts isn't a QB draw.

 

Obviously it will still do well ratings wise, but you can tell the NFL fanbase as a whole feels a type of way about the league right now.

I keep saying I'm not watching. But Goodell swears the refs are fair.  Yeah, not watching.

Chiefs-Texans delivered ESPN's highest ever rating.

Chiefs-Bills delivered CBS's best ever rating for an AFC title game.

Chiefs-49ers Super Bowl rematch was the highest rated telecast in TV history.

 

Conspiratorial morons on Twitter who think the league is scripted and that it's all rigged (as if a rigged league wouldn't have preferred the Lions this year or last year) do not represent the whole of America. This will be a highly rated Super Bowl and I'd bet almost anything Buffalo will not only tune in, but also be a top-10 market in terms of viewership. 

[boyst]

I'm confused. I thought the season ended a few weeks ago?

We'll see... People tuned in to Chiefs/Texans to root against the Chiefs.

 

People tuned into Bills/Chiefs because it's the two best QB's in the league and everyone was rooting against the Chiefs.

 

More questionable officiating gets the Chiefs to the Super Bowl against a team nobody likes.  A bit different.  People were rooting for the Niners.

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.

[US Egg]

The SB is the one sporting event never watch football fans will watch. The women in the offices where I worked went wild with offices pools. They’re no different than men, any reason to get together for a party and imbibe a bit. Plus who’s gonna make the snacks?
 

Throw in loathing Taylor Swift and the Chiefs, as they did like men with Brady, and you got an invigorated bunch that normally don’t care during the season. The viewing numbers will be there.

[Albany,n.y.]

This is sort of normal.  I follow Super Bowl prices every year & the best time to buy is usually the Sunday before the game.  After that the seat selection goes down & unless you're only interested in the get-in priced tickets buy between Sat-Monday a week before the game.  Prices may still go down on the get in price if there's any panic selling by brokers, but the better seats will be gone.  

 

This year, even though the price of tickets is following a mostly normal path there's the problem with lodging. The best hotels near the stadium were booked by the NFL & travel agencies like NFL On Location & Bullseye. If you waited for ticket prices to come down, the lodging didn't come down & many of the hotel & ticket packages are now sold out.  I could not find any combination hotel & ticket packages left on NFL On Location today.  

 

Next year when the Bills get in, I won't buy that 1st night.  I'll monitor the prices & hope to get a decent price Saturday or Sunday a week before.  

 

Here's what happened in the last 2 Super Bowls I went to:

 

SBXLVIII: I bought the Tuesday before the game.  Prices were under 2K for the upper deck at Met-Life. I could have bought an upper end zone seat for around $1,500-$1,600 but instead bought an upper corner for $1,857.50.  I paid $105 for parking at Stub Hub's location, a few miles from the stadium & we were bussed to the game & back. I drove there the morning of the game & stayed in a motel in northern NJ at a regular rate with no SB mark-up the night after the game ended. 

 

SB50: After the Arizona fiasco the year before when prices for the game skyrocketed the week of the game leaving many people stranded without a ticket I panicked when prices went up during the season & bought 2 upper deck tickets at Levi's for $4,726 each in December.  That year turned out to be normal & I could have gotten the tickets for about $3,500 a week before the game.

I'm not watching it... first Super Bowl I haven't watched in my life.

[MikePJ76]

Going to go buy a couple of new 4k movies and spend the day with them sunday or just play the guitar all day.  

 

I refuse to watch Andy Reid.  I hate him and absolutely am not interested in watching them to be the first team to 3 peat.  

 

This is just awful.

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.

 

I plan on not watching it and put out a post if the Bills fans plan on boycotting it which no one reply'd to they can and do bust my balls for spelling mistakes but can't answer a legit pole but that's another discussion .

 

The only way we as fans can change anything is by changing the NFL's bottom line but even then i'm not sure that it would make that big of a difference because Roger is incorporating out of country games and such continuing to increase their bottom line so we will no longer matter as much as we have to Roger & the owners .

People love to hate, lots tune in to boo the bad guys. 

[somnus00]

This is the least interested I've ever been in the superbowl. I'm not saying that hyperbolically. I'm just going for the food and my brothers' company.

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

I'll watch and root for the chiefs to lose

[gomper]

Of course I'm watching. SB Sunday has an energy of its own no matter who is playing. It's one game in a sport I love for the World Championship. I don't like the teams but the matchup is a good one.
