Super
Bowl Tickets
By
Seth Taylor
The Super Bowl is the
National Football League Championship Game for the prized Lombardi
Trophy. It pits the winner from the National Football
Conference (NFC) against the American Football Conference winner.
The
Super Bowl first began in 1967 between the NFL and AFL which were two
separate leagues during that time. Each league champion would
play against the other in the AFL-NFL World Championship
game. The leagues then merged in 1970 to form the NFL, or
National Football League.
The popularity
of the Super Bowl has surged
over the years. Ticket prices for the first Super Bowl could
be gotten for a face value $6-$12 dollars in 1967. Now face
value Super Bowl ticket prices have skyrocketed to $800 - $1000.
Advertisers
pay millions of dollars for 30 second spots in the Super
Bowl. The Super Bowl has becom the most popular and in demand
event in the U.S.
Forbes list the
Super Bowl as
pulling in revenues of $379 million. You can take the other
two major sports championships NBA ($47 million per day) and MLB ($56
million per day) and combine their totals and the Super Bowl still
triples their totals.
So how do you
get Super Bowl tickets. Well first let me explain how to get
face value
tickets.
Okay, hold your
horses. Don’t get too excited! It is possible to
get face value Super Bowl tickets but technically it is also possible
to win the lottery.
In fact in
order to
get face value tickets from the NFL there is actually a lottery that
takes place. There is a random drawing every year.
To
enter the drawing you have to send in your name and address through
certified mail only between February and June 1 in the year prior to
the Super Bowl. If you are selected you will have the chance
to purchase 2 tickets. They only select one entry per address.
You
send the request to the following address:
Super
Bowl Random Drawing
P.O. Box 49140
Strongsville, OH
44149-0140
Now the more common way for the general
public to get tickets involve deep pockets up to 10x face
value. But if you have the money then the best way to
purchase them is through a reliable broker. I would stay away
from scalpers in big games like this because there is so much fraud
prevalent.
Here are some ticket
brokers
that I recommend for Super Bowl tickets. Here you can see a
more detailed
explanation of the ticket
brokers I suggest.
