So we got screwed out of Tix. Getting our money back but doesn't really help now.

We switched flights to 8pm tomorrow night in hopes of finding new tix. If anyone can help us find reasonable tix we can really make it worth your while via future tix at Gillette.
 
What happened?

From another thread on tix:

Well the situation is as bad as it can get.......just as we were about to,leave, our ticket broker (the licensed ticket broker I've been dealing with for 15 years) called and said he got screwed and is NOT able to get the tickets he promised us.

Full refund promised + plane tix + hotel deposits + 150% of ticket price to make up for the screw job (he is insured).

He told me that promises have been broken, thousands of people are in for a surprise when tickets they paid for are not going to be there for them. He said many brokers simply closed shop and went out of business. He thinks that Vivid or Stub Hub are manipulating things on purpose to drive out all competition. Even went as far as saying the NFL sees what ticket pricing can bring and this may be their way of getting it for themselves -- shocker I am sure.

Meanwhile......we -are screwed.

Be careful out there, he told me lots of counterfeit tix, lots of crime (people walking around with large amounts of cash are targets guys).

The ONLY thing that can save this weekend now is a win.
 
Good luck guys. ****ing sucks.
 
That really blows...apparently it is a major issue this year. Stubhub is taking it in the shorts this year due to their guarantee, so they may stock to their guns with their ludicrous prices. I'd just hang out and start really pressing close to kick off. Hell, even after. If there's any tickets left at that point, it will be you're best guess.

Good luck!
 
Good luck guys. ****ing sucks.

Thanks man......my ticket broker is trying everything, he said he even has people in stub hubs parking lot trying to intercept them while on their way to sell their tickets to stub hub in the hopes they will sell to him.

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking - our final option is an 8PM flight to Vegas arriving at 11:00 PM, giving us plenty of time to drive to my brokers hotel to pick up yhe tickets. Then, I'll use my Super Bowl parking pass (that is in hand) and go directly to the lot. Once there we'll cat nap and head on in.

We're 45 min from airport so, the final bell will be at 6:00 PM.

So, I'm telling you there's a chance..........
 
It's going to work out for you guys. I can feel it in my stones.
 
You will be there at kickoff screaming for your team. I know it!!! Good luck bro!
 
However things turn out, please post your experiences so we can know what went down.
 
Best of luck lads. That sucks balls
 
Yikes, I've been reading about this being an issue, with a bunch of brokers having short-sold tickets that they never had, and now being unable to buy enough to cover their obligations. Hope it works out for you!
 
sorry guys - this stinks - hope something comes through.
 
I'm pulling for you, you guys are the true fans.

If only the league had someone in charge who could investigate things like this...
 
Ugh that's terrible. I think they should have compensated you better.

I wish I could help. Good luck!
 
That's sounds awful best of luck to you.
 
So the broker was not able to find anything and we did not get on our flight.

My father has already got his full refund on his card and the broker claims he will be sending 7500 to cover other expenses.

No way to compensate for the missed experience.

Really only one thing left to do now. "win the whole F@%!ing thing."
