Super Bowl: Patriots Fans Slow To Buy Tickets

GaryfromTO · 01-24-2012, 09:23 AM

Pats fans aren't stupid....

SB in a sunny climate like Arizona, California or Florida, we are there.

Indy isn't exactly noted as a tourist destinantion....

rather watch at home or in a sports bar.

Ouch! $2,800 for the average ticket?!?

Sales from NY and NJ being about twice those from NE, must be a lot of that Wall St cash flowing into SB tickets....

These ticket brokers are such a scam. How do you allow for legal scalpers?

I don't blame anybody for not paying $2800 to go to Indy, never mind all the other expenses.

Yeah if I had money to piss away I'd consider it but you'll end up paying 5k minimum for bad seats and then money for travel and hotel plus food to visit frigid Indianapolis and deal with Colts fans. Screw that.

If the Pats are fortunate enough to make it next year I'll get tickets because I live in New Orleans and a lot of that cost is taken out.

The article is misleading when it uses MA's unemployment rate as an argument that the state is doing alright financially. What they don't know is how much wages are down. Of course New York is going to outsell New England, only thing now I'm worried about is crowd noise. Is Indy going to pipe in some of that famous crowd noise???

Hardly the rabid fans that get loaded and make a lot of noise, pass the Grey Poupon Please.... red seats folks.

At 2.8k per seat you can hardly fault anyone for not signing up. That is a lot of money to a lot of fans. Some of us need to pay for food, housing and health care first.

It's in Indianapolis, who would pay good money to go there? Shame of the NFL for giving them the SB.

That's the point. This idea that Pats fans aren't buying tickets because it's "old hat" for them is ridiculous.
