SB Tickets...
I have no clue how this works. Do STHs get first dibs on tickets? If so... what is the cost of the tickets that STHs can get hold of? Lastly, depending on what the pricing structure is, are there any STHs here that would want to ensure that two seats in AZ are filled with red jerseys?
Due to the events in my life over the past 9 months I've come to realize that I need to take opportunities when they present themselves but I also don't want to stuff the coffers of some shitbag reseller or spend that money completely irresponsibly. Cheapest seats I can find have been in the $4-5k range. |

To speak frankly, I can’t imagine someone giving up thousands to ensure their tickets go to a chiefs fan. I’m going to watch prices closely, but doubt it gets anywhere near what I’m willling to spend.

Going to the game would mean that I can’t share the game with my kids, and feels a little selfish. Can’t blame you at all for asking Prices have increased 10x in 15 years.

I have only attended one Super Bowl, Mahomes’s first. So glad I did! I used the NFL’s official hospitality provider to buy tickets for my brother and me, onlocationexp.com. These are tickets allotted to them by the NFL, I believe, and anyone can buy them. Tickets came with a pregame buffet and entertainment as part of the service charge. It was a little pricey for the service charge, which was 20% on top of what the tickets cost, but that service charge seemed similar as other vendors and I appreciated the fact that they were official and trustworthy, given how much was at stake and the risk from the many fake tickets out there.
If you do use this vendor, I'll give you a tip. When you get to the pregame hospitality tent, don't be afraid to skip the first lines and look for shorter lines inside! In Miami, there was one entrance to the tent, and most of us assumed we needed to use the food and drink lines just as we got to that entrance, but they also had additional places to go in the tent and those lines were way shorter. I remember the food being pretty good, too. The entertainment was Cirque du Soleil. So, it wasn't like the service charge was just straight-up wasted money, the way it feels like it is with many ticket vendors and resellers. Last edited by DanT; 01-30-2023 at 01:00 PM.. |

I should say that my family is a little different with regard to ticket reselling. When we were kids, our dad would take us to lots of major league games and we almost never had tickets until we got to the stadium, where we would buy them from fans. Dad ended up buying and selling tickets from fans before the game as a side hustle and my older brother did that on StubHub, first with tickets and then with, of all things, parking passes. He did this for games all over the country. So, we aren't afraid to take chances with tickets, but when it came to the SuperBowl, as savvy as he was, we both decided to just play it super safe. We did use my brother's judgment to try and time the market. We waited until a few days after the championship games, ultimately pulling the trigger on Thursday simply because of timing issues due to our traveling from afar and two different locations (KC and Sacramento and we wanted each of us to have his ticket prior to flying to Miami.) In your case, given that San Diego isn't too far from Phoenix, you could potentially watch the market and see if the prices come down enough. I believe On Location had a way to get tickets "Will Call", maybe even on the Saturday before the game, as well as the Sunday, but you can check that. Of course, if you cut it that close, you may also be able to use StubHub or something like that. |

I get if it's a bucket list thing for someone but for us, the home AFCCG are the way to go. The money actually equals the value, so to speak. I don't care how financially well off I am, the roughly $40,000 it would probably cost to take my family to the SB would never be worth it to me. Would rather watch from the comfort of home and then go party with y'all at the parade. If I still lived in AZ, honestly I would probably take the fam to Vegas for the weekend and rent my house out for $1500 a night.

But it's hard for me to imagine someone giving more than a token discount to someone just to make sure it's a Chiefs fan. You'd save a grand or so per ticket just by not going through Ticket Exchange, but you're still going to be looking at multiple thousands just to get in the door.

https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west...-for-rams-fans To begin with, excluding the two Super Bowl teams, each NFL team gets about 1.2% of the tickets. Multiply that by 29 teams, and that accounts for 35% of all the seats at SoFi Stadium for this year’s Super Bowl. With the 1.2% allotted to each team, every player, as well as everyone on each team’s coaching staff, gets two free tickets. Then, players have the opportunity to buy 13 more at face value. Next, the host stadium’s team gets about 10% of the overall allotment. “Which, this year, the Rams and the Chargers have to split that,” said Espinosa, as those two teams share the SoFi Stadium during the regular season. Then, each competing team (in this case, the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals) gets approximately 12.5% — or a quarter — of all tickets. Presumably, this is the batch of tickets that was included in the lottery that Ramses lost. But Espinosa noted how the host teams usually take care of corporate partners and stakeholders before they release tickets to season ticket holders. “The rest (of the tickets) go to the NFL’s corporate sponsors and everyone the NFL has to take care of,” he said. Espinosa also added that some NFL sponsors offer contests or “sweepstakes” for fans to get tickets. That leaves only 5% of the pie for direct sale to fans at, again, historically high face values.
