Captain Caveman Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) 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? Edited December 30, 2022 by Captain Caveman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) 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.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 No way. Wouldn’t want to, anyways. I need my front row seat on the couch surrounded by my usuals… From what I hear, it’s mostly suits and media, not a real spectators venue. I’d be much more willing to go if the Bills were not playing in it. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBoots8 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 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. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverboat Ritchie Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I would rather go to the victory parade. Would have to travel far for both but being at Super Bowl would lead to cardiac event. Went to 13 secs and was great experience but would be too nervous for live Super Bowl. Honestly if Bills do make I might watch it just with myself and immediate family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were going anywhere it would be to go to Buffalo to watch the game with my friends and then go to the parade. I went to 28. It was fine, but it's a better home experience tbh. Stands are full of Chets and Muffys who don't care about the game so the game atmosphere itself sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Nah no where else I would rather be than in Buffalo when they win it. Plus, imagine spending $10K to go and they lose.

NeverOutNick Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 If it’s Bills vs Lions I think I have to go since my buddy and I bet $20 each at the beginning of the year on that outcome and would win like $4k each.

NewEra Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I’ll be contemplating up til the moment, but I don’t think I’ll pull the trigger.

Albany,n.y. Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I'll go, but I don't think I'll stay in Phoenix. I'm leaning towards Tucson where the motels aren't all booked up at over a grand a night. I bet $950 on the Bills to win the AFC at +425 (4.25/1) back in February as "Super Bowl Insurance" to pay for most of the ticket, which is currently at around $6,000 for the cheapest seats at NFL On Location. I'm trying to get Petrino to go with me but he's undecided right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiltonWaddams Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 As an out-of-towner, I would rather watch it in Buffalo with the locals. The expense to going to a Super Bowl is sizeable, but that’s not the real turn off. The turn off is that once it’s done, the aftermath is not going to be what it would be if they win one and you are celebrating in Buffalo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
