brokers who were paying 3100 last week now only paying 2500 and suppose to drop more with 3500 tickets on ticketsnow alone. Reasons imo are . Recession, cold weather in Phoenix which isnt as popular as Miami or Sandiego. PAts 4th trip in 5 years. And a double digit point spread.

Yet the Packers coaching staff felt the need to keep throwing the ball instead of running Ryan Grant, who had 200+ yards in the previous game.

Plus Giants fans suck.

IF they are losing at home in the 3rd Quarter over 1/3 of the fans leave to "beat the traffic".

They really don't deserve a SB.

They always drop. The asking price starts out high due to some sucker see them triple and think oh my I better get them before they go higher than I want tol spend. Then they drop after all those guys are gone and the other suckers buy them. But trust me when you say drop they are still way over the face value of $400-600. Ticket world is nothing but an over inflated hype market that you can get rich very fast in if you know what your doing. Go out to the Super Bowl sometime and ask the guys in the street what they are paying for tickets $800-1200 max. They may look like scumbags but those guys work for the biggest ticket companies in the US and are very sharp. I know a guy that left here with $5000 and will turn that into $50,000 by game time and might even see the game for free if he wants too. Plus he will come back with 200 ticket stubs he can sell on Ebay for about $200 plus bucks each that he will find on the ground or be giving to him from people that don't what they are worth. Not a bad gig. But you got to hussle lots of people in this now a days.

It's hard to believe that Rail hasn't been snapped up some NFL team to be a head coach with observations like the one above. :ohno:

Only makes sense that they drop. Many people will go to Arizona next week looking to make a fortune. All they are doing is flooding the market.

ZERO rushing attempts for the Packers in the 4th qtr and overtime combined. Senseless.

Im with you carolinakid. I hate the NFL for this exact reason. Everything is wayyy to over hyped and everyone is a fantasy expert. I hate when I have 200-300 on a game and some cocksucker is cheering against me because he has some player on his team in a free yahoo fantasy league.

who cares if someone wants the other team to win and you have money on the game. Im sure tons of people have 5 k on the other side also and couldnt give two shits about you and your 200.

prices are the lowest theyve been at any point for the super bowl this year. should last through the weekend. but once the middle of next week rolls around, the current prices will seem like a steal, relatively speaking. market will dry up quickly. starting prices were really high. theyve come down a good deal. but will spike soon.

Interesting. You'd think that the high $$$ NY\Boston folks would be dying to go somewhere remotely warm, not to mention the game.

Even if they're getting jacked by the hotels. it can't be any worse than at home.
