It looks like the NFL is getting ready to charges New York prices for its New York Super Bowl, the league is on the verge of approving a plan that would more than double the prices the league charges for the most coveted Super Bowl ticketsv according to Matthew Futterman of The Wall Street Journal. According to three league officials familiar with the plan, club-level seats in the mezzanine with access to indoor restaurants are likely to cost about $2,600—a mammoth hike from last year's game in New Orleans, where the top tickets went for $1,250, those seats could be particularly valuable on a cold night in New Jersey. The next level of pricing will also be significantly more expensive this season than last, second-tier seats will go for $1,500 in New Jersey, whereas they went for $950 in New Orleans. Of course the reality is that virtually no one pays face value for Super Bowl tickets. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy claims that the league is just trying to recapture some of the revenue that has ended up in the pockets of ticket brokers in the past. “We are looking to close the gap between the face value of the ticket and the true value of a ticket to what has become the premier sports and entertainment event,†he said.
