Super Bowl XLIV: Ticket prices remain low, sorta

By at 1 February, 2010, 12:12 pm

Six days before the Super Bowl at Dolphin Stadium , there may be as many as 7,000 tickets for sale on the secondary market, according to several scalping websites. And that has depressed the prices. On StubHub.com , for example, a regular Joe who really wants to see the New Orleans Saints take on the Indianapolis Colts can get a nose bleed with a face value of $500 for about $1,200. Lower premiums are hovering around the $3,500 mark, a far cry from the average price of scalped tickets at the Super Bowl two years ago in Arizona, $4,300. But if you happen to have more extra cash, there may be deals to be had in the suites. “I just sold my suite for $60,000,” said West Palm Beach attorney Joe Farish , who leases an 8-seat box for $115,000-for the regular Dolphins season. The Super Bowl, he says, is extra, and he paid $17,000

for the game including food. He put it on the market last week, and he more than tripled his money for the game. And those who bought, got a deal. “I just wanted to get rid of it, but compared to previous super bowls here, it’s not that good,” Farish said. Super Bowl XXXIII at Dolphin Stadium in 1999 brought Farish offers of $150,000. As for Sunday’s game, StubHub has a 32-seat luxury suite up for $243,000! Keep an eye on it. It will free fall by the weekend. And, believe it or not, there’s a secondary market for parking passes, too. Current prices are $200 for the cheapos far from the stadium gates on theseats.com , and $1,000 for the parking reserved for NFL officials.
