Super Bowl 2015: Ticket Prices Surge as Game Looms
Published at
NFL Media(PHOENIX) — Think Super Bowl ads are getting expensive? Try getting a ticket to the big game!
The cheapest single ticket price on StubHub Friday afternoon is selling for $9,498.99, with prices rising on secondary markets with two days left until kickoff.
Short sellers, who profit off the volatility in ticket prices online, along with the dwindling supply of game seats are credited for the drastic rise in cost of tickets, many of which have a face value of $500-$1000.
Of course, for that price you’d expect a great view of the action, right?
Not quite. Sideline tickets for Sunday’s game are selling upwards of $25,000.
