I understand that... but it's a ton of money to come up with in a short amount of time. Are most people just saying f it and throwing it on the credit card? I have my honeymoon coming up in a few months, and we will spend two weeks in Europe for less than the price of 1 ticket.

We were half joking about canceling the trip to Europe and going to the Super Bowl, until we saw ticket prices. Oh well, got to see the AFC championship game live. I'll never forget that.

I'd feel the same way if any of my KC buddies wanted to go. But none of them do so I'm not shelling out $8k to sit by myself.

My fiancee wants to go with me, it was actually her idea.

When you're buying from tickpick, or any place I suppose, you're picking up the tickets on site in Miami, correct?

I'd trust Stubhub, but a lot of these places are selling tickets they don't actually yet have possession of...they're selling tickets they PLAN ON buying from someone else. Especially if you're not buying an exact seat location but seats in a "zone" you can be pretty sure the reseller doesn't yet have the tickets.

They may not necessarily be out to scam you, but it is not unheard of for people to arrive at the SB to get their tickets from a reseller and they simply don't have them because they ended up not being able to obtain them. You'll probably get your money back, but you won't have tickets.

Just sayin be careful out there...

That is a good point and absolutely true. The agent I'm buying mine from won't sell them until he has them in his possession, but there are many who will go ahead and sell them before they have them.

Maybe I'm just a cheapskate, and it's not my business how others spend their money. But if you're 25 years old and you put that $6,000 in a retirement account at 8 percent annual interest, it'll be $130,000 by the time you're 65. Adjusting for inflation, that'll be about 8 to 10 months of retirement income. So for the average young person, the tradeoff is to work 8 to 10 months longer to go to the game.

And no, I'm not just an old fogey killjoy now. Even at 25 I was an old fogey killjoy.

What if you are 58 years old and already have a good nest egg?

Then you're golden.

Tickpick is as known nationally and is legit as stub hub, ticketmaster, etc. They just have less fees. Random ticket brokers are where you could have these very real issues like the SB in Arizona a few years ago. You can also buy the exact row and seat on tickpick or a section buy... they do both.

They can be cheaper before. I jumped the gun last year, and bought and broke even with a Rams friend buying mine. Tickets actually went down a little last year after as the Pats and Rams weren't near the draw as the Chiefs and Saints would have been. NO was driving distance to Atlanta, and KC as well, plus the 50 year layoff. This year I found great ticks on Ebay from a long time ebay seller who had gotten the ticks personally. I got a really good deal for great seats and pulled the trigger. They arrived today overnight. I paid about $5k less than they are selling for on any site today for the pair. This is due to KC and SF playing, if it were the Tits and Pack, I think they would be less. It's also a smaller venue. They say 5-7 days out is when the prices trough, and then head back up. This is what I've gathered after 2 years of tracking prices. Good luck!

I'm super interested in the shindig on Saturday. We've punted the Hotel Package as we can get around ourselves for significantly less than with the package.

Definitely looks like something we could do... What are the times for Sun?
