Why are people blaming the Super Bowl matchup for "low" ticket prices and hotel demand?

And not focusing on the fact that not a lot of people want to pay $1200-3000 for nosebleed seats to watch a game in 20 degree weather? :what:

Isn't transportation to the site supposed to be a nightmare too?

Neither fanbases are huge and both are far away distance wise. SF-NE would have been a hotter ticket, no question.

If they was gonna have the SB in the NY area, they should have it had at Yankee Stadium or Citi Field, at least transportation wouldn't have been a issue :manny:

Back in the day the Jets and Giants played football games at the OG Yankee Stadium and Shea, it was for brief periods but it did happen :manny:


I'm SHOCKED at low ticket sales just because the game is being played so close to Manhattan which is a HUGE tourist magnet, You would think the appeal would be to enjoy the city then on Sunday go to Metlife to watch the game, guess not :ehh:

Most of the tickets are bought by corporations and companies, so I'm not buying that. Peyton's the biggest star in the league and Super Bowl ratings seem to be higher each year too.

I blame it on the Gestapo disguised as city government that came with all the ridiculous rules for the game. The fact that you can't have someone drove you there and having only 15,000 parking spots is ridiculous. So you mean I gotta pay thousands for a ticket, but can't catch a cab or limo there? fukk outta here b, I'll watch that shyt at home :camby:.

TV ratings and attendance are mutually exclusive.

All the corporate tickets are bought. Actually all the tix are bought you're talking about the secondary market...the reason its low is becuase of the two teams and the distance the fan base would have to travel. You need to take days off if you live in Seattle. The game itself is sold out.

So nobody had to take days off from Baltimore or The Bay to go to New Orleans last year?

What's your point? Baltimore and SF have bigger fanbases
Well, you just said people in Seattle had to take days off to go to NY, as if B'More and SF were a three hour drive from NO.

The Broncos are the leading religion here in Denver. I can guarantee you that anybody from the area who wants to see that game in person is getting a ticket. With all the 12th man shyt in Seattle, I'm sure they're the same way.

Their fanbases arent nearly as big as the Niners or Ravens though. Obviously the cold plays a part but it's not a good matchup for the secondary market. The game is soldout.

shyt like this is why I'm starting to hate the city. Imagine paying like $4000 for some tickets and basically being forced to take the train to the game like some derelict. :scusthov:


Plus it's too fukking cold out here b. Lets be reality doggies, this is like the best day we had all week and its like 20 fukking degrees. Who in their right mind is gonna fly to cold ass New York for 1 week, stay in a superpriced hotel, go outside wrapped up like an Eskimo, only to take the train to meadowlands so you can freeze your ass off for 6 hours in $4000 seats? Nah breh, I'm good:whoa:

So Peyton set about every QB record imaginable this season and the Broncos as a team set all sorts of scoring records, but nobody wants to see them? I don't buy it.

I don't think the Ravens have a national fanbase either.
