Super (Bowl) Ticket Prces

Scalpers have always been around. The Internet makes things more interesting.

 This year's Super Bowl will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. I've been there on several occasions. It's a great place to watch a game.

 I have friends who will be going to the "Big Game."  Most tickets were sold through the box office for $800 to $1,200. Pricey? You can buy the same tickets on line, now, for $2,200 - $7,800. Some scalpers are charging more. I was listening to WINS Radio and heard of tickets selling for as much as $17,000, each.

Of course, after the game, you'll want to go to a party. Maxim has a party, so does Playboy. These parties feature live music and an open bar. Cost? $450 - $1,500 per.

Did someone say something about a bad economy?

I'll be at home, watching the game, sipping on an Old Milwaukee and munching some chips & dip.
