Getting a ticket is an act of patience and gambling

Look, right now tickets are at $4500. No one wants to spend that, but it’s important to remember you’re going to have to pay a lot of money either way. Face value tickets in the heavens are around $1000 no matter what. These resellers are going to make their money.

There’s still a way to not invest a mortgage payment in Super Bowl tickets. Usually, tickets are the cheapest Friday before the game. Prices start trending down starting on Wednesday and hit a bottom on Friday. That’s the time to strike — or at least it has been the past few years — but waiting until Saturday can be risky. That’s when people who traveled to the game without a ticket get real nervous. They didn’t make a long trip to Miami to not see the game. Tickets prices shoot back up. Waiting could work, but by Sunday, everyone who wants to go really makes a move. So monitor prices closely. Hit up every single connection you can think of, and get those tickets before Saturday hits and people get nervous.
