Super Bowl Tickets

Just heard the tickets are going for $6,500.

Who in the name of Heaven is willing to pay that kind of money for that?

Most real fans can't afford those tickets, it is a corporate crowd.

@Annabellethecat66. That's the cheap tickets. I've heard the better seats are close to $100,000. I don't understand where so many people get so much money for such a frivolous purpose.

After making the same comment:

Somebody just today said to me that that's the average price. That some people paid 40K for tickets.

Also, that the least expensive is approx. $1,400.

Now, don't quote me on this.

Wow! $100K. Oh my gosh...........

Well, I guess that people from all around the world are attending, too, who have more than enough $$$$.

'Who would have thought'...........

It is a corporate thang. Sadly. Some of the KC Royals baseball players are going to the game -- but say they were given tickets by KC Chiefs organization. Go Chiefs. I do remember, as a kid, Chiefs winning 50 years ago. My brother and dad stood the entire game. My dad's reason to buy color TV.

What kills me is the big wigs don't pay a penny.

The more money you have the less you pay for anything.

BIL and Nephew went to super bowl LII in Minnesota. Their tickets were about $4000 or $5000 each. They are big fans and it was worth it to them.

I remember Lorenzo Cain (now playing baseball with Milwaukee Brewers) said, as a KC Royal, the rich just keep getting richer. He said he wasn't referring to his own life, but what he's seen as he's been around people with money.

Who is willing to pay? Some are long-time fans. It's not frivolous to them, although it may be to you and me.

There's never an empty seat. Wealthy people and corporations purchase the tickets and probably some people who are ardent fan of a team and it's once in a lifetime opportunity so they just take money out of savings or an investment account and just .go for it.

One of my coworkers always got 2 college bowl tickets as an alum. He would go and sell the other one. Covered airfare/hotel/food.

A person who love football and has the money.

It would be a lot but the tickets are $6500, not $65,000. I can certainly see someone forfeiting their summer vacation or summer rental to go to the Superbowl, if they were lucky enough to actually get tickets.

For some folks, attending the Superbowl is a lifelong dream!

When the Philly Eagles won their one and only Superbowl in 2018, not only were the tickets in high demand even though quite expensive (up to $50,000.00!), but almost all private planes in the area were booked up by eager fans who made their way to the venue, no matter the cost.

It is all a case of priorities in spending.

I am sure many of us have spent the cost of a Superbowl ticket by years of shopping on the Q!

Outrageous. What is more outrageous is what they charged for a 30 second commercials...over a million bucks...and so far, I am not impressed with any of them

I drive a Lexus and go to thrift stores once a week . Love going and looking for things I have never seen before. Btw, had a Jag....it spent more time in the repair shop than I did driving it. Never again.
