superbowl tickets
By the end of the year, many fans start to look to buy their Super Bowl tickets for the annual Super Bowl held in the early new year. However, by the time the super bowl rolls around the price of super bowl tickets have escalated into as much as 3 or 4 times their face value.
The price of a super bowl ticket for the 2010 game will start at 0, yet it may be hard to find your tickets at that price, unless you are able to locate a discount super bowl package or you are fortunate enough to be selected in the random drawing from the NFL.
The NFL does not sell or issue tickets to travel and ticket companies, Instead, they conduct a drawing of randomly selected entrants to purchase super bowl tickets directly. Each year starting on February 01, and running until June 01, the NFL will accept requests from the general public to purchase tickets. A certified or registered mail entry is limited to one per address. Persons selected in the random drawing will have the opportunity to purchase two super bowl tickets.
Every year for the last decade, the NFL has made available on average 75,000 super bowl tickets. However, the total number of tickets available is dependent on the capacity of the Host stadium. Dolphin Stadium in Florida’s Miami Gardens will be the 2010 Super Bowl host, which has a stadium capacity of a little more than 76,000. However the last four times a super bowl was held at Dolphin Stadium, the capacity was never reached, (Super Bowl 23 – 75,129, Super Bowl 29 – 74,107, Super Bowl 33 – 74,803, and Super Bowl 41 – 74,512).
By far, the best way and the least expensive method to obtain your super bowl tickets will be to enter the NFL random drawing, waiting till late in the football season may cost you three or four times the face value. Super bowl tickets in late January 2009 were priced at close to 00 on many ticket and auction websites.
Of course, if you get your tickets and later decide you do not want to attend the Super Bowl, you can easily offer your super bowl tickets in the secondary market for a sizable profit.
