This is the premier event of the NFL season. It should cost a lot.
I saw Bob Costas interview Roger Goodell last night, and they discussed this question. Goodell said that tickets were set aside for regular forks at $500 each. He also said that many of the tickets scalped for the game were from regular guys that sold them. He was unhappy that happened, but he also said there was nothing he could do about it.
But that’s just one game. Even worse are season ticket prices. First you buy the PSL for $20,000 each, then you buy the tickets at about $250 each. If someone buys 4 seats, the up front cost is $100,000 for the first season. I have the best seat in the house. My Man Cave has a 56" HDTV with a 5:1 AV system - and it’s heated and air conditioned. I’ve been to NFL preseason and regular season games, and the seats any of us can expect to buy are so far from the action (end zone, nose bleed) that you just can’t see the action. Mr Goodell begs to disagree, but I don’t need a bunch of rowdy drunks falling all over me on a 20 degree day with a 20 MPH wind in a seat where I only get a fair view of half the field goal attempts and touchdown tries.
