By Michael Williams (2/9/2007)
All football fans know that Super Bowl is the biggest money spinner for many industries that are associated with the gala event. Every one wants a piece of the cake. The fans are not far behind. They all want to attend the Super Bowl. Each fan hoping to win the random NFL lottery and be proud owners of a seat at the stadium.
Those of you who missed the NFL lottery deadline, do not give up hopes. There are still ways of getting a seat. The best place to start is the secondary market. This year’s Super Bowl ticket has an estimated face value from $500 and $750 a ticket. With the markup it can be pretty expensive. However, there are various sites offering package deals. One such site is StubHub.com and the package deals here start at $4,475. However, you are advised to go for all inclusive deals. Some of these deals include airfare and hotel along with the seat at the Dolphins Stadium.
However, if you are only looking for a ticket and then go to sites that help reduce the costs incurred by brokers. One such site is TicketLiquidator.com. They are selling tickets starting at $2,400. The seat locations are listed along with the ticket so you will know where you will be sitting at the time of buying the ticket.
Some MIT students have developed a site called Yoonew.com. This site allows you to choose the team you think will make it to the Super Bowl. The pricing is based on the chances of the team reaching the Super Bowl. Therefore, the pricing is pretty fluid and keeps changing. The earlier you place your bet, the better the chances of getting a low price.
These are just some options from the many that are available. All you need to do is scout around and you are sure to find something to suit your budget. After all, Super Bowl is a once in year event and it is something that all football fans wait for impatiently.
