I am waiting too - I would be willing $3500 for lower bowl seats, and $2500 or so for upper bowl. For SB51, I got a steal of a deal for 10th row end zone for $3300.

How long did you wait to get that deal? Just curious. I went last year and paid $3,000 for upper deck end zone early Saturday morning before the game. Prices never really dropped.
Deb, stop it. We all know you ultimately will bite the bullet and pay whatever necessary to get into the game.
LOL, Tune - You sound just like my daughter, the beneficiary of my soft heart. She knows (as well as everyone else) that I have the word "SUCKA" tattooed on my forehead. Prices have come down today, however, so it looks like perhaps I won't be as burned (well-done?) as I was last year.
And therein lies the rub. They have dropped to just about what I am willing to pay. Do I pull the trigger and experience depression and regret if they go a lot lower? Or do I ride the roller coaster for another day or two risking a price move the other way. I am going to Atlanta no matter what, but was (in a bigly bummed out way) thinking that I might have to go to a bar to watch if prices remained over $3000.00. I was especially bummed because right after the AFCCG for about 1/2 a day, TickPick had tix for just over $2300, and I didn't pull the trigger (mostly that was due to having to shift things around financially). First world and incredibly lucky problems, I know.
No worries. I went to the SB in 2007 and 2011 too, and those losses hit me a lot harder than last year's for some reason (I think it was because I had my 15 year old daughter with me who kept saying, even after the loss, that this was the best trip she has ever been on. We had so much fun with each other and the friends we were with). The outcome of the game was a big disappointment, obviously, but I did not regret going or the price I paid. The stadium was beautiful, I had never been to Minneapolis or much of the Midwest (we flew into Chicago and drove to Minneapolis to save $$) so I enjoyed being a tourist and hanging out with other fans. The people in Minneapolis were awesome - the entire city was organized around the SB and there were greeters and nice folks everywhere you went. We ran into Fitzy at the Mall of America. I bought my tickets the day before the game from Ticket King, which claimed to be the Ace Ticket (i.e. biggest local broker) of Minneapolis. We went to their local office and they gave us a list of the tix they had on site. Obviously they are trying to make money, but the guy said he didn't think the prices were going to drop any further, and we needed 4 seats together (this year I need 3), and it WAS the day before the game. Lots of Philly fans went (in fact we were surrounded by them at the game), so I think the demand was higher last year.
If your comfortable with the price pull the trigger. A few hundred in savings isn't worth it compared to them rising.
I canceled my room yesterday, but if I was in the ATL and wasn’t able to get tix I was going to check out this tailgate being put on by the Atlanta Pats Fans Club (no charge for admission, 20 foot HDTV).Awesome! Thank you!
That was a very nice insight of your experience and I am glad you had so much positives to take away in the last SB. Here's to wishing that the outcome will be different this year.
I am already @ the top of the world that we are in the SB the third consecutive year in this salary-cap era. wow! Just writing that makes me more appreciative and thankful to be a fan of this glorious team.
So, I am focused more on just being there and soaking the atmosphere in the midst of other Patsfans.
If I end up getting two tix on game day, I will be more thrilled no doubt. But in case I don't, I plan to scurry from the stadium to Hudson Grille first.
However, my friend from ATL opines that most bars in that area might be booked ahead of time for big events (he couldn't get in when he was there for the Big Four last year I believe). If that be the case, I am teeing up my girlfriend to be prepared to quickly move to the other ones in that area.
Any interest from our members who will be in Atlanta in meeting ahead and for those without tix, watching the game together?
I heard Hudson's is having a watch party with buffet for the game, $40 per person, no advance sales (so you'll have to go wait in line to get in). Not sure when they are opening on game day. I am planning to go to Hudson's on Saturday for the party between 2-6; hopefully one will be able to get in!Awesome! Thank you!

That Atlanta Pats Fans tailgate is all weekend
Prices dropping Deb.
If you have the funds and it's not going to put you in debt, I'd encourage any pats fan to go to at least one super bowl. It's a once in a lifetime experience, the dynasty is most likely not going to be around for much longer, and you never know if they'll get back.
