Who needs tickets?

 The Associated Press reported today that tickets for Super Bowl XLII between the New York Giants and New England Patriots cost as much as $19446, and that the average price so far is $4300. The incredible part is that football fans so far seem to be willing to pay those prices even when the NFL originally priced those tickets at $700 or $900NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy, who seems resigned to the fact that the league is mostly powerless to stop the profitable turnover of tickets, said to the Associated Press that the face value of their tickets was underpriced based on demand and what people are willing to pay.

Furthermore the Associated Press reported that  the average price of Super Bowl tickets has been going up every year, so probably we should not be surprised about this. Tickets for last year’s game between the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolist Colts averaged $4,004. That was sharply higher than the Pittsburgh Steelers-Seattle Seahawks in 2006 at $3,009, the Philadelphia Eagles-Patriots in 2005 at $2,659, the Patriots-Carolina Panthers in 2004 at $2,290, and the Oakland Raiders-Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2003 at $2,767.

 So if you do want to go to the Super Bowl but you don’t want to pay as much, there still is time and there are many tickets left. Check out the price of these Super Bowl tickets here. And if you’re looking for corporate packages you may want to check out this site. Good luck!
