The National Football League has announced the price of Super Bowl ticket will both increase and decrease for next year’s game.
Twenty-five percent of the tickets for the game Feb. 1 in Glendale, Ariz. will be $1,000. A majority of tickets will be priced at $800 with the remainder priced at $500. The latter two prices are lower than last year.
The first Super Bowl was played 43 years ago in the Los Angeles Coliseum and the tickets cost $6, $10 and $12.
Ticket prices surpassed $100 in 1988, which means they’ve increased ten-fold in 20 years.
I’m not a NFL fan, but a Super Bowl ticket for $1,000?
Let’s see . . . with $1,000 I’d rather . . .
1. Buy a new laptop;
2. Make an extra mortgage payment;
3. Make a sweet credit card payment;
4. Throw a great party, buy a lot of pizza and beer and chips and salsa and watch the game at home with good friends . . . and probably save $800.
