SuperBowl

[TheVictors]

Flights to Nawlins from Denver are $800 or so .....or just 30,000 freq flier miles!

 

[zyxt9]

do i sense a "road trip" in ur near future? lol

 

[Mitchrapp]

Why would I fly from Denver?

 

[TheVictors]

Why would you go to New Orleans?

 

[Mitchrapp]

I don't know. Just curious what you're saying? Are you from Denver or something.

 

[TheVictors]

Yes.


I guess I should update my profile location.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Or give an idea what youre talking about like "I'm thinking about going to the SB and tickets from my home in Denver are 800 bucks".

:nod:

 

[TheVictors]

I think a lot of posters know where I live and what NFL team I have season tickets for but flights to NO would normally be $300, give or take. Not trying to jinx the team but the SuperBowl is the SuperBowl.

i'd fly into nearby city (houston is a bit far maybe, but u get the drift) and drive from there. but u have far more money to burn than i, so what do i know.

I didn't know.

I'm a huge Manning fan so I hope they win the whole thing.

Why is there a Superbowl thread on a Detroit Spots forum? don't you silly people know we don't know what that is?

 

[tonyballs]

I'm rootin' for the Seahawks. So there! x)

 

[TheVictors]

Well I've got season tickets w/my brother and then have 4 corporate tickets I am the contact for and handle. Once it comes to the playoffs, you pay NFL-set prices for possible home playoff games. For the SuperBowl there's a lottery for season ticket holders but I've been told it's very hard to get them that way. StubHub is ridiculous right now....

Now, first things first ...playoff BYE week and then Indy, perhaps...? That would be "drama" Goodell would die for.

My brother in law tried getting 2 tickets for the first playoff game(he is a huge broncos fan). He said they sold out fast. I am helping him move out there this weekend so he was glad that they got a bye the first week.

 

[TheVictors]

Yeah, I got an email from the Broncos saying that remaining tickets were going on sale as of Noon the other day and apparently they were Sold Out within minutes. And besides the normal draw for an NFL team in the playoffs, Broncos fans are pretty diehard and tickets are never easy to find. Last year before the Steelers playoff game you'd see tons of "Steelers Nation" tailgates outside the stadium (a by product of the millions of transplants living here in CO as well as the bandwagon'esque fanbase of the Steelers) but few fans actually in the game. Some Steelers fans exaggerated how many fans they had at the game and sure, they were AT the game .... just not inside the stadium with a ticket for it.

And from just the initial interest ... my $80 seats would get $200/per easy for the Divisional Playoff.


Where is your brother moving? Denver? Boulder? Ski town ...?

 

[JScottWriter]

Yeah there are tons of Steelers fans here in FL also. He is moving to Broomfield, I guess real close to the arena and Flat Irons mall.

 

[TheVictors]

Broomfield is basically halfway between Boulder and Denver and a popular place for folks to live who work in Boulder but can't handle the ridiculous cost of living. There is a new hoops/hockey arena up that way and Flatirons is a full-on mall and movie theater and restaurant development. When I was living in Boulder in 95-98 Flatirons didn't exist and most of the area that is now "Broomfield" was just .... a field.

 

[JScottWriter]

Yeah I use to go out there every year, we would spend time in both Denver and Boulder. I remember one year the arena wasn't there the next year it was.
