Looking into how I could possibly get superbowl tickets if my dream came true this year. This is how to do it, straight from the horse's mouth. (NFL.com)

How can I buy Super Bowl tickets?
The only method the NFL has to distribute tickets to the public is through a random drawing. There is no other way for the general public to purchase tickets. The NFL does not sell tickets to travel or ticket agents.

Entries for the random drawing are accepted between Feb. 1 and June 1 of the year preceding the game in question. All ticket requests must be sent via certified or registered mail. Those selected in the random drawing will have the opportunity to purchase two tickets.

Requests for Super Bowl XLI in South Florida will be accepted beginning Feb. 1, 2006. They should be sent to:

Super Bowl Random Drawing
P.O. Box 49140
Strongsville, OH 44149-0140

Please note that only one request per address is accepted. All duplicate requests will be disregarded.

...so basically you have to be Nostradamas (sp?) AND very lucky. WTF?

Damn, I'm gonna sign up every year. Even if you win some for a crappy superbowl they will be worth a boatload of money.

 

[LordOpie]

hell, I should enter every year cuz you can sell them for a lot more if you decide not to go.

I know it's frustrating for a fan like you, who's really only interested in their team, but this is a better method than Ticketmaster cuz professional scalpers swamp their system with bots.

Football is great but the Superbowl has turned into nothing but an overhyped money grab. The regular playoffs and conference championships year after year are better games.

Uhm, why not make them available to season ticket holders of the TEAMS PLAYING first, and then offer the rest up in such a manner, or I dunno, just put them out for sale. There's a middle man either way.

Yep.

When the Panthers went to the Super Bowl, they had a drawing of season ticket holders to see who could buy tickets. I think it was less than 10% of the season ticket holders who got them. I didn't but my Mom and Dad did. They almost sold them but decided that going would better....... it almost was.

edit: Damn BS you got the NFL to retroactively institute your idea. You sir are ass strong.

 

[Echo]

The Panthers went to the Superbowl?

 

[I Are Baboon]

That's also the only way to get Red Sox tickets on the Green Monster or the right field roof. And even if your name gets drawn, you've got be lucky to get tickets because the online ticket office is terrible.

That would be a good idea.

But as Westy pointed out. The SB is less of a football game and more of a media spectacle.

Just go to the NFC Game

Yeah, I'm sure all of us would've remember it had the game been worth watching.

 

[Echo]

Word, the NFC Chamionship will be a way better game than the Superbowl anyway. Or just pick a their most difficult home game, that will probably be better too.

 

[LordOpie]

BS, too bad you quit the Marines or you might be able to get another sideline press pass

 

[stinkyboy]

I'd rather watch at home laying on the couch, pounding drinks and eating your homemade grub hanging with friends. And I get to see the commercials.

TV timeouts, insane security, crazy prices and crowds aren't worth the price of a scalped ticket.

Tickets to The Masters on the other hand...

I think you misunderstand.

If I remember correctly, the season ticket owners of the teams playing and the team hosting get first crack at the tickets. Then I believe a small amount are allocated to every team. Then the general public get whats left...

Of course, this is all after the "Corporate Sponsors" get their tickets...

So you pay out the ass for what generally ends up being the ****ti*st game of the season?

No thanks.

I disagree. Over the past handful of years, with the main exception being Tampa vs. Oakland (okay, Balt vs NY too), the Superbowls have been pretty good. Last year's game was somewhat of a letdown, but it was still entertaining. The Carolina vs New England was a phoenomenal game imo, better than 95% of the games played that season.

 

[lovebunny]

new england never disapoints in the super bowl

 

[BurlyShirley]

The Titans vs. Rams was the best SB ever. ('cept 85 of course)

The sad thing about those Rams is that if Martz had discovered that he had a running game, he could've won at least one more championship.

Yeah, that was a kick ass day for sure. Best seats possible...well, no seats, but the only better vantage point is playing or reffing.
