Super Bowl ticket prices plummet

So much for being the most expensive Super Bowl ever.
With ticket prices in a freefall, seats for Sunday’s MetLife Stadium matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos could end up being the least expensive for a Super Bowl since the post-9/11 game of 2002.
After hitting record highs last week, ticket prices took a nose dive over the weekend, with the cheapest prices plummeting nearly 50 percent, to a low of $1,150 from about $2,200 at 9 a.m. on Jan. 19.
While the cold weather had been a concern, that’s now been factored into prices and isn’t expected to have much of an effect going forward, unless there is a snowstorm, market watchers said.
Instead, limited travel demand by fans of the two Western teams, a glut of available tickets and sluggish interest in the New York metropolitan area are contributing to the tailspin.
More than 18,000 tickets remained available on the secondary market Monday.

I’ll laugh my ass off when its a big bust and tickets can be bought at or below face value.
Who in their right mind would pay multiple thousands of dollars to sit outdoors in 10 degree weather.
If it was in Miami, that’s a fun destination.
NJ in the winter? Fuhgetaboutit.
This will be the first SB you can scalp in from the parking lot.
Except you cant get in the parking lot. It was $150 per car and you can’t walk into the parking lot or be dropped off. You have to take a bus, train or car into the stadium.
You may be correct but it will be the first Super Bowl you can scalp in the train station.
