Super Bowl Tickets: Today’s Hottest Commodity

26 January 2012 by , No Comments

Whether you’re a Giants fan, a Patriots fan, or your heart was broken when your team was knocked out of the running for the Vince Lombardi trophy, most people will be tuning into NBC to watch the Super Bowl on February 5th.

This year, face value on tickets ran between $800 and $1200. But most people weren’t fortunate enough to purchase tickets at face. On the secondary market, prices range from $2500 to $15,000 per ticket.  The highest actual sale on Zigabid was over $5000 a ticket.

With this year’s Super Bowl taking place in Indianapolis, a few factors have contributed to both price and the volume of tickets being sold. Many people perceive the area to have fewer amenities than larger markets where the Super Bowl has been held in the past. While these perceptions may be unsubstantiated, many of the hotels in the area around the stadium are sold out. In addition to concerns over accommodations, Indianapolis during the middle of winter is hardly a desirable vacation destination.

With that being said, prices are unlikely to drop until the day before the game, when resellers often feel pressured to sell quickly. Last year, the price of the game jumped significantly higher on the day of the game.  The Super Bowl is the most unpredictable of markets.
