The best seats in the house at Hard Rock Stadium are going for the fan-friendly price of $16,000.

Augie Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 We won 2 tickets with full travel package for the Bills vs Redskins Super Bowl. My wife wanted to flip it for a new dining room set. She usually gets her way in big decisions (which has actually worked out pretty well for me). We went to the game, of course.

Liberal Bob Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Keep in mind that SB tickets prices will crash as soon as more tickets hit the market. Season ticket holders who win the lottery will be tempted by the big price . It is all about supply and demand and right now the market is very tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so wish I could of had that experience even in a loss. The first big screen TV lasted a lot longer than my weekend. Having said that, the dining room set would have too, and I’m thrilled with the decision. Doing it once is amazing, but I wouldn't pay the Big Bucks to do it again (without some lottery style windfall coming our way). The cost of the tickets is just one factor. Hotels jack up rates, then you have transportation and food & beverage, which is significant just by itself! My son toyed with the idea of renting his Buckhead place out for the last Super Bowl here. He could have stayed with us, or more likely taken an amazing trip for free. He didn’t pull the trigger this time, but the place and location would make it a great option when the SB gets back here down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochesterRob Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Not surprised. Older Chief fans have been waiting 50 years and can appreciate that through a couple of bad bounces they may not see the Chiefs in the SB during their lifetime again.

Titan fans are similar to Chief fans that you just don't know when your team will be back so the AFC was going to drive that market. I would imagine that fans of teams who expect to be there every several years would be a bit more restrained in their bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Geeez! Back in our Super Bowl era I bought end zone tickets from a ticket agency (it was pre-internet). I paid $500 for end zone seats in Pasadena and then $550 for end zone seats in Atlanta. My little inflation calculator says the comparable price would be $900 today....NOT $6,000! What a rip off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) I keep track every year of Super Bowl ticket prices and in a typical year the best time to buy tickets at the lowest price is the Sunday before the game through Monday morning. After that the prices rise slightly from their low point. The one exception in recent years was Super Bowl XLVII in Arizona when the marker went crazy for the Seattle/NE game and the get in prices reached around $10,000. The tickets just kept going up all week and a lot of people who bought through "ticket brokers" never got their tickets at the promised price. That also happened in Atlanta for the Bills last Super Bowl (at much lower prices in 1994) where many Bills fans never got their tickets. Still, if the Bills make the Super Bowl I'll be looking to buy my tickets the Sunday before the game. When I checked prices earlier today, the lowest prices were down around $500 to $700 from before the championship games. Edited January 21, 2020 by Albany,n.y.

CowgirlsFan Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 On a lark last night, I checked at all of the traditional locations. My guess was about $5,000.00 for where I would like to sit. I was right yet I expected higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakin Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 My wife has stood by me for now almost 20 years as the spouse of a long suffering Bills fan. She insisted that if the Bills make it to the Super Bowl that I would HAVE to go. I can only imagine the price of the tickets when we finally get there. Me thinks she will change her mind.

IslandBillsFan Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 The ticketing sites are such a bunch of crap with their fees. What is BS is how they charge their fees based on a percentage of the ticket sale price. Their service/work is the same whether it is a $20 or $20,000 ticket. Look at this breakdown from a couple of lower level end zone seats for the superbowl. $3,670.50 in fees!
