A couple times from eBay private sellers, once from a season ticket holder who won the team lottery and was selling his, another time from a corporate source. Brokers are the worst, avoid them if at all possible. Whatever you do, have your tix in hand before traveling (lots of horror stories from those who didn't). The initial NFL Ticket Exchange prices are insane -- $4,500 for a nosebleed end zone seat.Well... I'm making the plunge this year. I have a hotel, flights, rental car.... just need tickets. Those of you who have done it before, any tips on when/where to buy? Buy now? Wait? Anyone here have any and can't make it? Any advice would be appreciated from Super Bowl Vets!

For 20k a ticket, I’d have been pretty damn tempted to sell them. Jeez. That’s crazy.As far as waiting or buy now, it's a risk. Sometimes tickets get cheaper. Sometimes they don't. At the Pat's/Seahawks Super Bowl we paid $7,200 per ticket and our broker delivering them to our hotel the day before the game, offered to buy them back from us for $13,000 on the spot. By game day the tickets in our section were on stubhub for $17,000-$20,000 each.

I think we all sayI've only been to two Pats Super Bowls - both against the Giants. My friends and family don't let me attend Super Bowls anymore
First time I bought them on Stubhub, I think. Second time was given the ticket from my boss. Both worked fine, the free one was finer!
Before both giants games my son and I built a Super Bowl Shrine. The rule being whatever the number of the SB you put in that many patriot items. In 14 my son seriously got mad at the suggestion of a shrine because the shrine was 0-2.I've only been to two Pats Super Bowls - both against the Giants.

"Plummeting"? From what -- $7k to $4k?
I was at both of those as well. Gladly, I had previously attended the Carolina and Philly Super Bowls. It feels odd I haven't been to one in six years now.I've only been to two Pats Super Bowls - both against the Giants.

Why take a chance? Just say no to shrines!Before both giants games my son and I built a Super Bowl Shrine. The rule being whatever the number of the SB you put in that many patriot items. In 14 my son seriously got mad at the suggestion of a shrine because the shrine was 0-2.
I’m thinking it’s time to built a new one and I am the last person to buy into superstition but if I do and they lose my son will blame me forever.
Maybe I’ll change it up and build one with 51 items to celebrate last years win.
They are down to $3,500 (without fees) on many sites. Apparently lots of Vikings fans bought and are now dumping. Maybe we aren't shut out yet Tune!"Plummeting"? From what -- $7k to $4k?
