Tickets for NFLS's Super Bowl could be more affordable with this year's recession as in years past, a top ticket associate has said. The recession as a result has driven down prices, making it more affordable for even regular football fans.
The prices to watch the Steelers battle the Cardinals in the NFL championship game are down nearly 40% in the secondary markets as compared to last year. The game will be played on February 1 in Tampa, Florida.
Chief ticket executives blame the economy for this ticket slump, with fewer corporation who are willing to shell out the big bucks to acquire a ticket. The average price is about $3,100, the lowest level since 2006 for the Steelers last Super Bowl. The face value of the Super Bowl tickets are either $800 or $1,000, with about 1,000 tickets prices at $400 this year in response to the economy.
The NFL, like nearly all sports in the global markets has been hurt by the recent recession. Last month the NFL said it would cut 14% of it work force.
