I know Super Bowl ticket prices are absurd (like about 6000$ including fees, etc... for the absolute worst seats.)  Add in flights and hotel and you're probably looking at at least $20000 for 2 people to go together.  I'm looking at my finances, and although I could make it work, it just seems outrageous to spend that much money on a 2-3 day trip.  On the other hand, it could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.  So - if the Bills are in the Super Bowl, are you likely to be there?

Nice change of pace question!  I am back and forth on it. I could afford to go.  I am not sure how or where to get tickets or if there are complete package deals that include tickets, airfair, hotel, etc because its something I have never done before.  Even though I could afford it, I am not sure I am willing to pay that kind of price.  Im not like wealthy or anything so it's a big chunk to me.  

 

On one hand it's a once in a lifetime like thing.  Not totally because I could have went during the Kelly years but close enough that it may never happen again.  On the other hand it's pretty pricey and I don't know if I could justify that expense for such a short time/experience.

 

Seems like the OP and I think about the same on this one.

If they're under 5k most likely. Hope I don't go by myself. 

Tough to find that price, I haven't found anything under 6. Tough pill to swallow. But also could be a once in a lifetime chance. My biggest issue isn't the money it's spending 8k on a weekend and then... I won't say it but... if a certain team I'm rooting for were to not score as many points as another team and I paid 8k to watch it... needless to say I would be spending the next few days at the brewery.

Yeah - I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, but I also remember too clearly the feeling after the Houston playoff game (the last road game I attended.)

I'd go just to be there the week leading up to it but I don't think the game is worth upwards of $7-10k per ticket on the open market. From what I remember, the stadium in Glendale is basically in the middle of nowhere but they have a lot of stuff there like hotel, movie theater, and restaurants etc

Ya that’s way too much. I’d get just as much watching at home with friends. For 20k I’d take a nice Euro vacation or a Hyundai.

If I could afford it? Sure. But I live a few hours from Buffalo. It’s much more affordable to stay in Buffalo for a week and celebrate with the best fans in the world once we win the Lombardi. Stay Saturday - Thursday, long enough to go out the night before, the night of, the day after, rest, and go to the parade.

 

I just want that once. I want to be part of it because that will be nothing like that first time. Monumental moment for the team, the city, and the fans.
