How to get Tickets
You might be wondering how to go about getting tickets to "The
Greatest Show on Earth." Now that Mike Tice is out of a job in
Minnesota the ex ticket hawker might be looking to sell his
again. But the bottom line is, tickets are available if you are
willing to spend the money.
Numerous ticket brokers have a good number of Super Bowl tickets
available to purchase, with most of them starting at over $2200
for the worst seats in the house. If you're looking for some
place extravagant to throw your Super Bowl party, try the luxury
suite on the 40 yard line for nearly a quarter of a million
dollars. It does hold 40 people and comes fully catered, if that
makes it worth it to you.
There is a little known method of attaining Super Bowl tickets
that isn't full proof but is worth a shot to get the tickets at
face value. Every year preceding the Super Bowl from February
1st to June 1st, you can write a letter to the NFL requesting
Super Bowl tickets. Your name will be put in a hat and a random
drawing will ensue. If you are selected you will have the
opportunity to buy 2 tickets.
There is a slight misconception that you should act on getting
Super Bowl tickets as much time in advance as possible. This is
almost impossible to accomplish. The truth is, in the past,
sometimes Super Bowl tickets haven't even been released until a
week before the game and if you are looking to go through a
ticket broker, many of them won't promise Super Bowl ticket
availability until the very day of the game and you will be
expected to pay the current market value.
Going through a ticket broker is your best bet on getting Super
Bowl tickets, but make sure that the broker you are associating
with is credible (a member of the National Association of Ticket
Brokers) as there are a few Super Bowl ticket scams out there.
One such scam was for purchasing a Super Bowl tour package at a
discount price. It included airline tickets, hotel
accommodations, everything except Super Bowl tickets.
