The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

I've been talking about the Super Bowl, which is being played here in just about two weeks. I know that it's no only tough to get tickets, but very expensive as well. I was just reading an article in the local newspaper, and here's the skinny. The face prices on tickets start at $800 and go up to around $2,000. Now, 100% of the tickets are already spoken for, every one of them go to the NFL and the teams. The playing teams split 35%, the host team gets 5%, the NFL keeps 25% and the rest is split up amongst the rest of the teams. How then does a person get a ticket you ask? Obviously, these teams and the NFL resell them at a profit to a broker that also has to make a profit. Some wind up with ticket scalpers, which is legal in Arizona. Tickets in the nosebleed sections are now going for over $2,000, and the best seats for close to $14,000 but will increase by game time. There's no price put on those seats in the skyboxes, but since they are controlled by football and corporate dignitaries, price doesn't matter I'm sure...

Since I wasn't invited to sit in a skybox, I'm just going to stay home and save all that money and effort buying tickets. Besides, parking there is not a lot of fun. :o
