I purchased after market endzone seats (pre-internet) in both Atlanta and Pasadena the last two times the Bills were in the Superbowl. The tickets cost me $500 apiece, which seemed like a lot back then. According to an inflation calculator those same seats should cost $900 today.....I'm guessing they are WAY MORE than that.

LOL -- you'd be lucky to get in the stadium for less than $7500 a seat.

For sh*ts and giggles I checked TickPick for AFCCG tix this morning.  Cheapest ones were nosebleeds at $748/each.

 

Right now, the cheapest Super Bowl tix on TickPick are $7695 for upper level corner seats.

Frightening stuff. I can afford a better seat now than I could twenty five years ago, but I'm honestly not sure that I would.

I think $500 would be the most I would spend on any event.  And the list is short of what I'd pay that much to see.

I'd pay the $1,000 that the inflation calculator says they are worth.  We had an absolute BLAST going to the Super Bowl...even though the lost.  It was truly one of those "where else would you rather be" sort of experiences.  We like Pasadena, outside in the sunshine, more than Atlanta in the 'old' Georgia Dome though.  You got the sense that the entire world had their eyeballs focused on that playing field right at that very moment.  I remember thinking that the players must've all been ready to throw up from the pressure of the spotlight.

So what happens if they do limit the seats and your seats aren't included in the ones that make the cut? You get face value for them? Or nothing in return because they're not actually your tickets? Or are the tickets that are for sale definitely going to be able to be used?

Stubhub is around $10,000 a ticket after fees.  NFL On Location is $5,950 before fees.  Typical fees can range from 15% to 25%, so even at 15% the NFL On Location  is close to $7,000.  

The unknown variable is the amount of tickets for sale.  Both Stubhub & NFL On Location will refund your $ if they limit the number of seats below what is anticipated & they can't sell you a ticket.  Beware of less reputable sellers.  

I can't get my 1st Covid shot until March, so I won't be going.  If this was a Covid free year in a full stadium I'd go.  I went to all 4 Bills SBs in the 1990s, but I can't risk it due to my age & overall health. Also, if Tampa gets in the ticket prices will be even more outrageous than they are right now since they will be the home team with a fan base that doesn't have to travel. 

Back in the 90s my friend and Super Bowl partner won 2 lotteries so we had tickets at $150 each and the most I paid for a package through a travel agent was $1,248 for the Atlanta SB from TravelUSA in Buffalo which included the flight, 3 nights at a motel, ticket & bus rides to the stadium.

I've gone to 2 Bills Superbowls. Both Dallas games. One in Pasadena and one in Atlanta. 

For Pasadena I paid $600.

 

In Atlanta I couldn't find tickets and had all but given up. I began walking the streets of Atlanta and a kid approached me and asked me if I wanted to buy his workers pass. I wasn't sure if it was legit but it had the hologram. I paid him $200 and went back to the stadium.

 

With all of my Bills gear on I was allowed through the employees entrance and proceeded under the stadium, past the locker rooms and wound my way upstairs.

 

I had to stand in a tunnel entrance for the entire game and didn't get the complementary seat cushion but I got to watch the game.

I think the post below addresses your questions (I have no idea what the answers are, I'm sorry)

TickPick is the "all said and done" price.  Any fees are already in there, so the price on the app is the exact price you pay.  $7631 is the cheapest right now.

You should never go to any Superbowl the Bills are in then.  You are bad luck

Why deal with resellers when you can still get them directly from the NFL?

 

Super Bowl LV Tickets on 02/07/21 at Raymond James Stadium (nflonlocation.com)

 

I checked the link and was able to dummy in an order to see their service fee.  It turned out to be 18%, so the tickets listed for $5,950 have a $1,071 service fee for a total price of $7,021 per seat.

I did the same. Was Pasadena on the end zone , end line where Beebe knocked the ball out of Leon’s hand. I was across the field but had a great view of it. Micheal Jackson was halftime show. I still have a whole poster of in cut cards beomf printed any sold outside the stadium. In Atlanta I went to the NFL experience and met the Jags owner as he was buying the Jaguar helmet being painted by peter maxx. Seats there were not as good , but at least we were leading at halftime. The. Thurman fumbled and things went down hill. Last time I checked the tickets are now several thousand dollars like 8-10 k for those types of seats. With covid I bet the price will soar. Well.at least seven made it a.couple of times ! 😉😀

I went to all 4 Super Bowls.  Scalped tix for the first 2, then won the team lottery, and got company seats for the last one.  Never paid more than $500/seat.

Obviously we lost all 4.

 

Doing my part and taking one for the team, I won't be going to this one.  So we're gonna win. 

 

You're welcome.

I got an email about the Super Bowl tickets from the NFL and I also looked at the cost. Those $5,950 seats are all nosebleeds! Augh!!

 

I was in my very early 20's when they had the first Super Bowl run and I couldn't afford to go. I really wanted to go to at least one, but I just did not have the means to do that. 

 

But, now that I could afford it, but I just CANNOT justify spending $14,000-$20,000 just to go to the Super Bowl. Listen, I LOVE my Bills, but the shear lunacy of spending that kind of coin on a game is just ridiculous. I guess if I was rich, then maybe??? But, what constitutes "rich" to the point where someone can drop $20K or more to go to a game????

 

I mean, are all those that attend the SB rich F***ers???

 

I guess that's the way it is today to attend any "cool" events. I haven't been to a concert in 15 years. I wanted to see U2 several years ago, but the cheapest "decent" seat was $500/ticket!! GTFOH!!! I really don't consider myself cheap, as I like going on vacations, have nice cars, cool stereo equipment, tools, etc. But, there's a common sense aspect when looking at paying too much for something you KNOW shouldn't be that expensive or is being inflated just because someone can!! 

 

Now, get off my lawn!!

I know Covid plays a huge role in this, but does anyone know if the Bills will have a lottery this year.  I was hoping to hear from the Bills regarding this, face value is way more affordable than Stubhub.

What is face value anyways??

I don't know what they are now but the most recent Super Bowls I went to were XLVIII & 50.  

 

For SB 50 I was in the cheapest seats & the face value was $850.  For XLVIII I was in the 2nd cheapest seat & face was $1,000.

Is there a lottery for bills season ticket holders? 

There always has been a lottery for season ticket holders (back in the good old days), usually at least 3-4 week before the Super Bowl, but I haven't heard anything yet this year

I was expecting $5k prices... looking at lower endzones and seeing price tags of $12k-15k per seat is insane to me, but I guess  expense accounts are flush with nobody travelling this year.  It also helps that new tax laws allow 100% deduction for entertainment this year.

I don't think I'd pay more than $100 a ticket to go to anything. Watching football at home is way better than watching it live if you actually want to watch the game. There's a lot to be said for the atmosphere though.

You're living in a world about 20 years ago.  In a lot of places you can't get a decent seat for $100.  

 

You make Ralph look like a free spender.

Yeah, I don't live that far away - does an 8 hour drive count as that far? - so I keep checking the resale sites. But that's too steep for me.

I'm probably better off in my own basement anyway. If attendance weren't limited I imagine we'd see some decent tickets start to come on the market now, but I don't think that'll be the case in KC this year.
