Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: AZ Cardinal Super Bowl Package $$$$

[ItsmeMrWright (ItsmeMrWright]

I can vouch for expense when I decided to take my wife to see the Chargers  
last year.  Not wanting to make the (drunken) commute from Orange County, I  
figured we'd hop the Amtrak in Irvine and ride the Red Trolley into The  Murph. 
 
After dropping $165 each for two seats and drinking 5-6 margaritas  (I 
brought lunch) the whole affair ran me about $500.  Can't say it was  worth it.

Back  in the day, when the 1st Super Bowl was held in the L.A. Coliseum, I
had  two comp. 40 yard-line tickets from the newspaper. At the time,  the
Coliseum was dry, and I ask you, what good comes from attending a  football  
game
without a few brewskies under yer belt?

My  uncle was owned a TV repair shop, and although the game was blacked  out
in the Los Angeles area, he rigged up a 40 foot antenna and  picked the  game
live and in color from San Diego, so I gave the  tickets away.  Besides, there
were about 40,000 empty seats for the  game. Who knew?

What could be better than sitting on the couch with  your dad, uncle,  and his
son, cuz Bob, drinking beer from a pony  keg, munching on smoked  yellowtail,
with sharp cheddar cheese and  crackers, while rooting for  Vince and the
Packers?

How times  have changed. The Arizona Cardinals are offering their official
Super  Bowl Package (not including air fare) for $5,650, not including tax.  
The
air fare is $446 per person on a chartered Southwest  airliner.

Willi,

This story is a great example of the  law of supply & demand. 80,000 seats 
for an extremely popular one time  affair as opposed to the rest of the sports 
who battle their championship out  over 4-7 games.

It does bother me on a fundamental level that football  is always an 
expensive ticket to attend versus baseball and basketball....I  won't deny. But 
if the 
free market is willing to pay for it, the price is  correct. When the Eagles 
when to the superbowl a few years ago, newspapers  were reporting that many 
Philadelphians were tapping their home equity lines  of credit in order to pay 
for the tickets. 

True  story.
