Albany,n.y. Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Not that it matters to us now, but the cheapest Super Bowl tickets have dropped $2,000 since Monday. They started around $6,000, went up to $6.500 a few days ago & tonight at 12:03 AM they're at $3,600. This is from NFL On Location, fees included. StubHub is seeing the same price drops. They're a little higher than On Location, but have dropped 2 grand too. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Maybe it’s because, I’m just surmising, that Chiefs and Eagle fans don’t travel like other teams fans do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely that most people don't want to pay $6500 for a crappy seat, and get gouged at hotel rooms, restaurants, golf courses.... I live in AZ, the pricing at some of these places this week is outrageous. The Phoenix Open is also going on this week so it's really nuts right now. 8 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) $6500 is insane price. Only an idiot would pay that. Facts. Remember that when watching the game on tv in the comfort of your home, all those people you see in the stance are idiots.

US Egg Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Maybe it’s an ominous sign that there’s seemingly a lack of interest. But people drop a decent buck to go the draft, which is free at home. …..whatever, the NFL will continue squeezing money out of their fans.

78thealltimegreat Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 In this economy people aren’t going to pay those ticket prices just for a football game much less the other expenses a trip to Phoenix is going to cost. You're talking a family of 4…with all the other amenities probably paying 20,000 dollars minimum. You can 10 of that and goto Hawaii for the week and your kids and wife will be happier anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Super Bowl related but your post also hits home with the Bills new stadium. They know 60,000 is probably a good number for the WNY market. Raised ticket prices and PSL fees will have many Bills fans watching the games from home instead of the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that when watching the game on tv in the comfort of your home, all those people you see in the stance are idiots. The Super Bowl is largely a corporate event, but market forces still apply. My wife was supposed to attend and schmooze with clients, but she did everything she could to find a replacement and got out of it. It was just cross country travel and working all weekend as far as she was concerned. If you’ve been to one SB (which we have), there is no great desire to attend another, at least for us. .

corta765 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 The SB has morphed into a show for the rich and corporations. It is a whose who event and regular fans are left in the dust because of it. I would love to see each team get 5000 tickets and they are lotteried to season ticket price for season ticket holders but that is never happening.

BillsShredder83 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 My biggest thought on SB tix to see a favorite team is it being a boom or bust gamble. Seeing it live would be a soul changing experience. Seeing a loss live would have me spending $10k to enter into grieving. On top of that im stuck feeling that way around 70k people for hours leaving, when i want to be alone... Dramatic, i know, but its true. Compare that to 10k vacation: "higher floor, lower ceiling". Most ppl cant afford to do a trip like that ever, but maybe once every 5-10yrs for some. Im going with the sure thing vaca everytime. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird that given how much the NFL and TV networks push the Chiefs on us, they just don’t seem to have gathered a big national fan base like the Steelers, Packers, and of course Cowboys. And the Eagles have always been kind of an eastern PA/south NJ market, cut off by Steelers dominance to the west and NYG to the north. Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like the Bills have been gathering a real, sustainable nationwide following, one that I hope lasts longer than the 1990s version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) This is the Chiefs 3rd Super Bowl in 4 years. Eagles 2nd in 6. CFP ran into this with Clemson and Alabama constantly going to the Playoffs/Championship and the game being all the way out in San Francisco. Also, KC is a rabid fanbase, but they don't seem to have national pull. I don't see them taking over stadiums like some of the other notable fanbases.

We love our team and think everyone else and their teams suck?!! As for ticket prices, absolutely ridiculous. Pretty bland matchup. Both teams have played well and deserved to be there. But Philly is as boring a team as it gets player wise. And everyone knows Mahomes and Kelce. But they don't really move the meter beyond being football players. The NFL is the ultimate team game. Its the best sport, with college football. But its not predicated on star power. I would argue Josh Allen is the biggest star in the game. Bam. I remember the Bills-Giants super bowl in 1991. Me and two buddies drove down from Atlanta to Tampa for the game. Paid $600 each for tickets. Seemed pretty expensive at the time. Called a ticket broker from an ad in USA Today. LOL.

Liberal Bob Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 One if the main reasons that the price is dropping is the fact that the Waste Management golf tournament is also going on this weekend and they will draw close to 175k per day . And that has drove up the hotel and car rental prices. So when you figure out the total cost for traveling to Phoenix this weekend it is just crazy.
