America loves to spend money on the Super Bowl. From
buying a new high definition television for game day to multi-million
dollar ad spots during the game, the Super Bowl inspires super spending
as much as it celebrates football. Actually going to the Super Bowl and
watching it in person will cost a person several thousand dollars.
Super
Bowl tickets as of January 16th are readily available on eBay. Auctions
for Super Bowl tickets are getting plenty of attention and money thrown
at them. For example, a pair of tickets for the lower level end zone
area of the stadium in Glendale, Arizona where Super Bow XLII will be
played on February 3rd recently sold at auction on eBay for $7,302.00
after attracting 16 bids. Another auction that closed on the same day
at eBay saw 24 bids that topped out at $6,001.00 for two tickets in the
upper level end zone area.
Auctions at eBay are not the only
source of Super Bowl tickets. Any search at a search engine will
produce dozens of ticket sellers where people can buy tickets without
having the unpredictability of an auction's final price. Prices are
high across the board. At Ticket Master's website, a deluxe four-night
trip with hotel suite accommodations that includes two tickets at the
club level to 15 yard line costs a whopping $15,384 for two people. At
Stubhub.com a ticket for a seat at the Super Bowl in the terrace end of
the stadium starts at $3,750.
Everything about attending the
Super Bowl is expensive. Parking passes cost at least $150! That's
enough to make even a New York City resident flinch. Someone actually
attending the Super Bowl can cash out a little of its value with
souvenirs after the game. Old Super Bowl ticket stubs from years past
are auctioning at eBay for over $40. Not exactly big money, but if you
see a ticket stub on the ground it is certainly worth picking up.
Because
actually attending the Super Bowl is expensive, many sports fans choose
to enjoy the event with home parties or a trip to Las Vegas. Because of
its legal sports betting, Las Vegas has traditionally been a Super Bowl
destination. That weekend is extremely busy in Las Vegas, but for even
half the cost of attending the Super Bowl a person can have fun all
weekend and enjoy the game in a lounge or nice hotel room without
sitting on a hard stadium seat.
