Post up in here if you will be at the Super Bowl on 2/2 in Miami, FL.
I had airline booked and sideline seats in the 300s wrapped up on Monday following the Texans game. Just couldn’t talk about it until it was reality. I’ve come to learn there is no superstition or luck, there is only Mahomes. Eat, wear, do whatever you want because Mahomes is the greatest QB to ever lace ‘end up.
Anyways, as the thread suggests, if you’re going to the game, give a shout. Would be cool to hear the different stuff everyone has planned, where peeps are traveling from, etc. I get on Friday afternoon and fly back to JFK early Monday morning.

But I just can't justify those prices. I'm planning a trip to Antarctica in a couple of years and that would be half the cost to get there. I'll watch the game on TV and use the money to book passage aboard a bouncing ship across the Straits of Magellan.
Nice RM. That will hopefully be an eventful tale on here like your last trip, [Reply]

Yeah, I ordered through them and the service fee was almost $900 per ticket. It was still the cheapest total cost of any legit sources I found. [Reply]

I was looking at it, but it would to be my wife and two kids as well. I priced the whole trip out at like $26K ($6.5K/per). I just can not justify that sort of ridiculous spend. [Reply]

Every site has fees. I wouldn't believe any of the quoted ticket prices until you drill down to see the all-in cost. It's how these places make their money, taking the same percentage no matter the ticket price. [Reply]

Sure but charging service fees that high is outrageous. [Reply]

TickPick.com has no fees for the buyer and the price is the price. They only charge the seller 10% so prices are some of the best. [Reply]
