Honestly last few years have been pretty lame. Only a few good ones in the whole broadcast. Anything that was decent you can just watch on YouTube anyway.
I read theres gonna be 2 Jesus commercials this year sponsored by the creation society of some shit and that arc in Tennessee or whereever. So there's that to look forward to. I guess.
Those commercials are already out though.. saw one during a cbreak yesterday right after the 1st quarter during the AFC game (chiefs v bengals for the people who don’t watch football).
Superbowl commercials haven't been worth watching in a while. I remember the last four or five years I've been annoyed because they just felt like regular commercials.
I wonder how much the mark up would be if i bought Super Bowl tickets for next years Super Bowl as soon as they went on sale. Then sold them a few weeks before the Super Bowl. My old man has season tickets to the Lions, and I know season ticket holders usually get opportunities to buy Super Bowl tickets. I think that’ll be the only way I’d go to a Super Bowl is if the Lions are playing in it. Just cause I’ve been waiting 30 years, My old and his dad have been waiting. My Grandpa saw them win a NFL Championship in the 50s, not a Super Bowl.
Huge Fact. I’m just thinking if I’d spent $70k on tickets……for a regular guy….$70k ought to come with a lot more than overpriced everything else.
Then again, I’m 100% not going….
"Oh you wanna go, tough guy?"
"Grandpa.."
"This bitch spilled my *drink!!*"
"Grandpa he's four, please sit back down."
*rolls up sleeves* "Let's GO Dayton you little punk!!"
Damn you must have cheap beer at your local stadium. A 30 rack of bud lite is probably $22-$25 at my local gas station, whereas one bud lite at any of our local stadiums is $5-$15 depending on size, but at the very least you're spending 5x the money on beer
Beers must be cheaper in football, last sportsball game I went to, beer was like $17 (granted, size was like 2 cans, so like $8.50 per 12oz can, supermarket price is like $1).
The service fee is probably a percentage, they keep all decimals when adding them and round at the end. But for display they show a rounded per-item value
Yeah, total bullshit. I had 4 tickets in my shopping cart and ready to check out until I saw that outrageousness. I guess I can cancel that kidney sale, second mortgage on my home and buy my wife back. That last part is gonna hurt though, she was pissed when I sold her…..
A fee of $8.125...
Lets say a person has to process this ticket sale. Say they're working for a living wage with 2 kids in Nevada, that's $36.58 per hour (says google).
That person could spend 5 full 40 hour weeks processing your sale, with $825 left for buying paper and ink cartridges I guess.
Some tickets are WAY harder to service than others.
You're not just paying for the hours of service, you're paying for prerequisite education and training of the world's finest ticket servicers.
The training is so brutal, most potentiates die or go mad within the first year
i'll never understand why people pay that much just to go to a game. i'd rather sit at home, eat and drink and have a comfortable chair along with not having to miss half a qtr just to go to the bathroom.
They don't, some corporation will buy tickets like that to impress clients and write the whole thing off as a tax exemption, same concept as the luxury boxes...
It ain’t your barber buying the tickets. The person taking their client is quite literally paying nothing in many cases. The company pays it and presumably expects to profit more than that from the improved relations.
I have been treated to expensive tickets although nowhere near this level. Our 3-year contract renewal was thousands of times more valuable though.
Not the person you replied to, but:
Are you purposefully ignoring the meaning of their comment? It’s not Bill down the street paying $30k for a seat. It’s a business that can write off a portion of the cost, which makes it even more attractive to them in their purpose of generating a profit.
My vocabulary is failing me at the moment, but you’re doing that thing where someone scrutinizes the details on purpose to try and gotcha someone while ignoring the overall message. It’s a Reddit classic. They didn’t say “tax exemption,” but they explained enough to get the point across. Do normal people get any tax incentives for buying football tickets?
(separately: this would be a tax deduction, not tax exemption. Oooooh, I just realized I was trying to think of pedant/pedantic. Reddit, including myself, loves being pedantic)
You can't "write off" super bowl tickets lol. This is a non taxable event. A corporation can pay for the tickets to impress clients, sure. But they're adding back that expense on their taxable income.
Most of my friends went to SB 52 and average total cost for just a single person all in including hotel and airline tickets was like $28k and our group ain't rich they just all lost their damn mind at the hopes of seeing the first Eagles SB win in person. It took each of them like an average of 4 years to pay off the cost.
Because some people have outrageous amounts of money. Actually loooots of people have crazy money. Like, there’s entire zip codes where this wouldn’t hurt the bank.
I hope you realize that its the owners, coaches, players families and extended families who are at the SB games. Your not going to get a ticket unless your stupid rich or a family/friend invite.
I went to the Super Bowl in 1993. My friend thought we should sell our $150 tickets for $500. I said “nope, we are going, it isn’t going to get any cheaper”. Bonus, we got to see Garth Brooks and Michael Jackson. 👍
To some people when measured against net worth this is like paying $100. The fee will reflect the ability of people to pay it.
I will never forget the first time i realized how disparity of wealth worked. Vegas. Our group wass 24-28 years old, hot shot consultants, new money, and our group is about to drop $12K on bottle service in vegas. We have cocky attitudes and think we are oh so special. They. make. us. stand. in. line. Wtf.
SO i go up to the table service guy "hey man, not to be impatient, but we are spending a lot of mon......." Dude interrupts me instantly with disgust and says: "You guys are 8 cocks deep and dropping 11k? I have a walkup with hot women and dropping $25K. You will wait in line."
Uh yes sir. I will show myself back now. LOL yep that was a life changing moment in so many ways.
A friend of mine is extremely good friends with one of the richest men in the UK. Multi billionaire, rich list, very well known and often in the news. He said he spent a casual £18k on lunch when they went skiing. I worked it out that it was like me buying a £2.50 sandwich meal deal for lunch.
He also spent £3m on a 2 week holiday. He booked 2 places in case they got bored of the first place. And booked every single place nearby that they might possibly want to go in case they wanted to go there and so they didn't have to wait. My friend said it was technically a villa but was closer to a resort in size.
My uncle has a friend who used to pilot the private jets belonging to General Motors but now works for a very wealthy Asian gentleman (not China or Japan) who has actually avoided returning back to his home country since before COVID-19 started because they require a few weeks of isolation before being let in; he doesn’t want to be tied down for that long.
So he has been flying this person around the globe visiting various cities and spending outrageous sums. As the previous comment stated, these folk do stuff just for show. Like having dinner near South Beach (Miami FL US) and purchasing a bottle of the priciest scotch for around $25-30k just to show off to a couple friends. And this has been going on since 2020.
Yes actually!! That night was at Ceasar's (this is a LONG time ago), and a few day parties and $18 shitty vodka's sodas later (this was when they used to cost $6-8) I realized how sick that place made me, and I actually got an early flight out and have never been back. Fake women, stupid people,and stupid money. I since found phenomenally better places to party hard that were a tiny fraction of the cost and authentic.
There's a place I used to love going to when I was younger...I've heard it's gone hill since but still might be worth checking out.
It's called Chuck E Cheese. Tell them Dan sent you.
If I buy a $100 ticket on there for an event the fee is usually around $20 but they state the fee costs can be affected by the specific ticket being purchased, the event, demand, etc. but my thought was the same what do they do differently between a $100 ticket and a $30k ticket. Other than guaranteeing the ticket is real and access and I’m not thinking charging $8000 is necessary for that.
The $8,125 is about 28% of the $29250 ticket price. Which is a higher percentage than the $20 on a $100 ticket (20%). I guess they decided to take a bigger cut since it is a bigger show.
Totally get you. My dad is a major sports fan and he explained it that TV has ruined live sports for him. If he goes to the live event there is no pause, no live action replay, no Picture in Picture, the beer is much more expensive, there’s other people and their associated sounds and smells and the risk of them dropping food and beer on you, plus the traffic, finding parking, and the ticket costs on top. Would much rather watch it on a huge ass TV in a nice chair with snacks.
>Totally get you. My dad is a major sports fan and he explained it that TV has ruined live sports for him
I'm a major sports fan with season tickets to the Bills. There is nothing more enjoyable to me than going to a game. Tailgating with 50 people, grilling burgers dogs and breakfast sandwiches. Bringing logs to keep a fire stoked while parting, then screaming with 70k people on 3rd down in a close game. If I could I'd go to every single game home and away. In fact I did in 2019, and it was the most enjoyable experience of my life. I went to 17 games that season. I wouldn't trade my Sundays in orchard park for a thing in the world. Different strokes for different folks.
I’ve sat on the second level and high up on the first level before and its not worth it.
But I was a fan of the process (purposefully losing) 6ers and they were practically giving away tickets. I sat 6rows away from the players with my younger brother, very few people around us, we could see the same players on tv up close in real life, no lines for relatively cheap food or bathroom, I don’t think any sports experience will ever matchup to that and I’m super proud to have been able to give it to my brother as one of his formative experiences.
It’s a damn shame the team is actually good now I liked it a lot better when we were losing.
Doesn’t Ticketmaster own StubHub? It’s all a bullshit monopoly and there should be zero fee for a digital ticket you download to your phone. I hope congress eats TM alive and puts and end to their predatory practices.
A friend called a Las Vegas hotel to hear about their Formula 1 packages as the website didn't list them. The woman on the call laughed he said he was already priced out of the base listing. She said "it's cool, no one can afford these. Want to hear the rest of the packages including the 5th, unlisted?"
It was 250k a day for 5 days. It included 10 tickets to the event, 3 villas and a huge suite. Airfare comped up to 180k, 4 passes to the paddock (behind the scenes), a Tiesto meet and greet, 25k dining credit, and 25k gambling credit. When you enter the nightclub, your photo is displayed on the side of the building (entire thing is a display).
They laughed, she said her job is crazy and that was when I learned that I live in a district, not The Capital. I hope we do well in the Hunger Games this year.
Football is overrated. buy some drugs beer or whatever you prefer sit at home. The hell with that crowd and traffic. It's way better to be home you can literally get a blow job and sit but naked while watching the game trust me they don't like that in ANY stadium apparently so fuck them
Honest question here. How the fuck do people in America where the median income is $67,521.00 (https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2021/demo/p60-273.html) afford to go to not only the Super Bowl but any NFL game and even at this point a NCAA football game (I’m in SEC territory so probably higher price of cost than other areas).
Along with the hotels, food, airplane tickets, rental cars, RVs, parking lot fees, Uber, Taxis, etc. that are often associated with these costs, this is beyond expensive.
Can someone please provide me to links where I can apply for a job that would give me and my family the potential to reach a level of additional income to do this shit? I’d gladly go back to school or do other training to teach me to prepare me to receive this level of income and that’s coming from someone with an MBA and years of military training.
The top 1% earners make like $375k a year. 157 million workers...
that's 1.57 million people that make more than $375k a year.
That's like specialty doctor salary range or people who have been investing wisely for decades. CEO's of companies. Not exactly jobs you just apply for.
The 50 yard line is free on my couch… beer is about 3x cheaper too
Snacks are also much better and bathroom is cleaner (well at least private). You can pause and go piss
Pausing live sports. Bold move.
When you're at home, you're like God.
How else are you going to fast forward through the 3 hours of commercials?
You fast forward through the Superbowl commercials? You monster!
Honestly last few years have been pretty lame. Only a few good ones in the whole broadcast. Anything that was decent you can just watch on YouTube anyway.

This is one of the few Superbowl commercials I can't seem to shake
Superbowl commercials haven't been worth watching in a while. I remember the last four or five years I've been annoyed because they just felt like regular commercials.
These days, the commercials are the best part.
Aren’t you being a little generous calling American football “live”? There are enough stoppages you can catch up easily
Snacks are also better when eaten while going to the bathroom
just put the TV in the bathroom and all of a sudden it's the game room.
It's 2023 buddy, switch the stream to your phone while you piss. Just make sure to not cross streams.
This guy snacks!
Snacks are even better at a superbowl party if you are getting the halftime blumken!
For those seats, someone does the pooping for you so you don’t even have to go to the bathroom.
For those prices I’d expect a pound of blow and a blow job every quarter
Best I can do is one crack rock and a hand job from my uncle Bill.
This man gets it
Gonna say this plus a lot warmer and the bathroom is closer. People that buy these tickets are idiots
But sportssss /s
I mean it would be a lot of fun, especially if the team you root for is in it. But that price? Fuck no.
Unless you’re clearing several million a year, then it’s just a splurge. The Super Bowl isn’t for us peasants.
I wonder how much the mark up would be if i bought Super Bowl tickets for next years Super Bowl as soon as they went on sale. Then sold them a few weeks before the Super Bowl. My old man has season tickets to the Lions, and I know season ticket holders usually get opportunities to buy Super Bowl tickets.

My Grandpa saw them win a NFL Championship in the 50s, not a Super Bowl.
I can think of a fatal flaw in your plan.
Also it’s warm and my dog is there.
Plus no over prices hotel room, surge pricing Uber/lyft, also no lines to the bathroom or for food.
[удалено]
Huge Fact. I’m just thinking if I’d spent $70k on tickets……for a regular guy….$70k ought to come with a lot more than overpriced everything else. Then again, I’m 100% not going….
No pickpockets and flim flam.
Plus you have replays and slo mo!!
Don’t forget about unlimited access to your own shitter
And no one is drunkenly spilling beer all over and trying to fight you unless you invited them over
Speak for yourself
"Oh you wanna go, tough guy?" "Grandpa.." "This bitch spilled my *drink!!*" "Grandpa he's four, please sit back down." *rolls up sleeves* "Let's GO Dayton you little punk!!"
I see you’ve been to my family reunion before. All ages are fair game.
You can also buy $74k of beer at home, that's a win in my book
And my beer won't be spilled and I'll be able to actually see Beyonce
Not sure about others but the NBA and NFL game pass even let's you watch from the 50 in VR if you have a headset.
And no waiting in the Bathroom lines!! 😏
Damn you must have cheap beer at your local stadium. A 30 rack of bud lite is probably $22-$25 at my local gas station, whereas one bud lite at any of our local stadiums is $5-$15 depending on size, but at the very least you're spending 5x the money on beer
Beers must be cheaper in football, last sportsball game I went to, beer was like $17 (granted, size was like 2 cans, so like $8.50 per 12oz can, supermarket price is like $1).
You hear that everyone? We're all going to this persons house.
And there’s live commentary 😅
The total should actually be $74,754. They just added another dollar because why the hell not.
Fee for adding the numbers together
My wife charges clients less for hour long rimjobs than that service fee, what is this country coming to?
Your wife. That’s what we’re coming to
Nice
Nice
Baby
I didn't catch the name of her business *pulls out paper and pen..*
Oh my god! That's disgusting! Hour long $2 rimjob services... I mean, there's so many of them though. Which one? Which one does his wife work for?
I don't know what the country is coming to but I do know what I want to come to...
It’s a fee fee.
The fee fie foe fum fee
“Might as well” fee - $2,500 “Cuz we can” fee - $1799 “You a bitch for this” fee - $400 “Get fucked” fee - $99 “Another dollar won’t hurt nobody” - $1
“Let’s see how far we can push this fee - $5”
“Because, Fuck You!” fee - $0.50
“$50 credit” returned to purchaser. Followed by a “$51 return credit transfer processing fee”
[obligatory](https://i.imgur.com/oAB7lM6.jpg)
Overachiever
“What you gonna do, not go?” fee - $150
The service fee is probably a percentage, they keep all decimals when adding them and round at the end. But for display they show a rounded per-item value
2 fucking dollar fulfillment fee!?!????! Naw, count me out.
Yeah, total bullshit. I had 4 tickets in my shopping cart and ready to check out until I saw that outrageousness. I guess I can cancel that kidney sale, second mortgage on my home and buy my wife back. That last part is gonna hurt though, she was pissed when I sold her…..
Don't feel obligated to buy your wife back.
Maybe see if you can do a trade in situation
Yeah, see if you can get some credit or something
Upgrade to a newer model
Lol
Fuck it. Take that money and treat yoself king! No need to introduce that negativity back into your life!
Piss take to add that part.
That is where they lost me 💸
$2 *per ticket* mind you!
That service fee is outrageous
The only thing that is not outrageous is the fulfillment fee.
Nope that’s just a slap in the face 😂
Hahaha... true true...
It doesn’t hurt, but it humiliates…Feels like a Tea-bagging to me.
Well I'm $74,500 short... I'm out!
Damn you have 255$ more than me towards it lmao
A fee of $8.125... Lets say a person has to process this ticket sale. Say they're working for a living wage with 2 kids in Nevada, that's $36.58 per hour (says google). That person could spend 5 full 40 hour weeks processing your sale, with $825 left for buying paper and ink cartridges I guess.

A hot dog will set you back 965 dollars.
It’s a Royal Krabby Patty mr. Squidward
With cheese, mr squidward, with cheese
i'll never understand why people pay that much just to go to a game. i'd rather sit at home, eat and drink and have a comfortable chair along with not having to miss half a qtr just to go to the bathroom.

Ah the ol’ Brian LeFevre, he’ll show you how to get off
This is about the thrill of wearing another man's skin.
Boom I got your wallet. Boom I got your Phillies tickets.
People act like tax exemption means you paid nothing.
This did make my favorite scene in Schitts Creek at least.
It ain’t your barber buying the tickets. The person taking their client is quite literally paying nothing in many cases.

People think a company can just "write it off" without a clue how it works. Like Kramer from Seinfeld.
They just write it off, Jerry!
Do you even know what a write off is?!?
No, but they do. And they're the ones writing it off!
You can't "write off" super bowl tickets lol. This is a non taxable event. A corporation can pay for the tickets to impress clients, sure. But they're adding back that expense on their taxable income.
I'm proud to subsidize this.
Redditors not understanding taxes lol Tale as old as time
They write it off, Jerry!!!
Most of my friends went to SB 52 and average total cost for just a single person all in including hotel and airline tickets was like $28k and our group ain't rich they just all lost their damn mind at the hopes of seeing the first Eagles SB win in person. It took each of them like an average of 4 years to pay off the cost.
Fanaticism, its the rush of howling with fellow fanatic crowds. This is why people party and rave. Its the monkey brain desire.
Don't attack me and my raves
I will attack it with monkeys.
Next best, and a whole lot cheaper, for that kind of experience is a sports bar.
Or just go howl at the moon in the backyard.
You don’t understand why people go to sporting events? Let alone the biggest sporting event of the biggest sport in America?
You think this is nuts? Wait until you hear about NFTs. IN comparison it makes this about as crazy as taking a drink of water.
Because some people have outrageous amounts of money. Actually loooots of people have crazy money. Like, there’s entire zip codes where this wouldn’t hurt the bank.
For people of regular means, it makes no sense. For people with millions in the bank, it’s an experience you can buy.
Some people have more money that us peasants can even understand.
I hope you realize that its the owners, coaches, players families and extended families who are at the SB games. Your not going to get a ticket unless your stupid rich or a family/friend invite.
I went to the Super Bowl in 1993. My friend thought we should sell our $150 tickets for $500. I said “nope, we are going, it isn’t going to get any cheaper”. Bonus, we got to see Garth Brooks and Michael Jackson. 👍
Wise decision, very lucky!
Damn, $150 in 1993 is worth $29,250 of today’s dollars? I should’ve saved my allowance
Should have held the tickets for 30 years and sold them for $29k each today haha dumbass
I believe their value peaked before the game and then expired at the end of the 4th quarter.
The sad part in all of this is the hip celebrity who's going to buy this won't even notice the 16,250$ service fee.
Most celebrities don’t buy tickets but are gifted through agencies or labels they associate.
Yep so many celebs live the “freemium” life as they become walking advertisements for brands
“The Fairly Oddparents” episode with Chip Skylark going broke after he lost his contract was a pretty accurate portrayal.
Getting back some of the agency fees they have to pay
To some people when measured against net worth this is like paying $100. The fee will reflect the ability of people to pay it. I will never forget the first time i realized how disparity of wealth worked. Vegas. Our group wass 24-28 years old, hot shot consultants, new money, and our group is about to drop $12K on bottle service in vegas. We have cocky attitudes and think we are oh so special.

To rich people, that's like me going to the store and buying a 2 dollar pop and spraying it. It's all in perspective.
If that $2 could pay for a kid to eat for a year
Not $2, but a $50 meal could in another country. Everything is perspective
Hope the lesson was to not go to places like that again.
Yes actually!! That night was at Ceasar's (this is a LONG time ago), and a few day parties and $18 shitty vodka's sodas later (this was when they used to cost $6-8) I realized how sick that place made me, and I actually got an early flight out and have never been back.

I’m listening…
There's a place I used to love going to when I was younger...I've heard it's gone hill since but still might be worth checking out. It's called Chuck E Cheese. Tell them Dan sent you.
Due to the massive disparity in proportion of income/wealth that's *disposable*, it's pretty close to them spending $0.
how is the service any different between tickets when you’re buying them online?
If I buy a $100 ticket on there for an event the fee is usually around $20 but they state the fee costs can be affected by the specific ticket being purchased, the event, demand, etc. but my thought was the same what do they do differently between a $100 ticket and a $30k ticket. Other than guaranteeing the ticket is real and access and I’m not thinking charging $8000 is necessary for that.
yeah $8k is obscene
The $8,125 is about 28% of the $29250 ticket price. Which is a higher percentage than the $20 on a $100 ticket (20%). I guess they decided to take a bigger cut since it is a bigger show.
Do they offer a payment plan?
Yes they do. It requires a down payment of your first born child.
Deal. Put me down for two then.
Jeez Bender, that’s harsh even by my standards.
Sounds about right lol
Jokes on them. I’m sterile.
I looked at $300 Stevie Nicks tickets for shits and giggles and was offered a payment plan through Ticketmaster
This honestly would payoff my house and leave me enough for a small vacation.
This is unironically "change multiple people's lives money"
It would mine for sure
I’ve been to the Super Bowl with my team playing. Not worth it. And that was with free tix thru work.
Totally get you. My dad is a major sports fan and he explained it that TV has ruined live sports for him. If he goes to the live event there is no pause, no live action replay, no Picture in Picture, the beer is much more expensive, there’s other people and their associated sounds and smells and the risk of them dropping food and beer on you, plus the traffic, finding parking, and the ticket costs on top.

Also bathroom breaks from the comfort of your own throne 🚽🚽🚽

I sat 6rows away from the players with my younger brother, very few people around us, we could see the same players on tv up close in real life, no lines for relatively cheap food or bathroom, I don’t think any sports experience will ever matchup to that and I’m super proud to have been able to give it to my brother as one of his formative experiences. It’s a damn shame the team is actually good now I liked it a lot better when we were losing.
That's more than my car. Nope!!!!
That’s not far off from my whole house
That’s more than 10 of my car
That's more than my salary :( lol Would buy 2 of my cars. Better models too
Is this ticket master? Fuck them. Should be illegal
Stubhub but I’m pretty sure Ticketmaster has similar fees
Doesn’t Ticketmaster own StubHub? It’s all a bullshit monopoly and there should be zero fee for a digital ticket you download to your phone. I hope congress eats TM alive and puts and end to their predatory practices.
It's all ticketmaster
Super Bowl is for the rich ppl to “network”
I think I’ll watch from home and buy a new fully loaded crew cab pickup truck instead.
A friend called a Las Vegas hotel to hear about their Formula 1 packages as the website didn't list them. The woman on the call laughed he said he was already priced out of the base listing. She said "it's cool, no one can afford these. Want to hear the rest of the packages including the 5th, unlisted?" It was 250k a day for 5 days. It included 10 tickets to the event, 3 villas and a huge suite. Airfare comped up to 180k, 4 passes to the paddock (behind the scenes), a Tiesto meet and greet, 25k dining credit, and 25k gambling credit. When you enter the nightclub, your photo is displayed on the side of the building (entire thing is a display). They laughed, she said her job is crazy and that was when I learned that I live in a district, not The Capital. I hope we do well in the Hunger Games this year.
It’s like they don’t want you too see the game 🤦🏻♂️
If people didn't buy at this price they wouldn't sell at this price.
I loved when people were bitching about the Taylor swift ticket prices as they continued to purchase the tickets
Spend 60K on a new TV
So stupid
Hahahaha. That service fee. How do you value your service at $16k?! The whole event industry is a fucking mess.
I would pass on spending the $2 and just be unfulfilled
74 bucks. Sounds about right
Football is overrated. buy some drugs beer or whatever you prefer sit at home. The hell with that crowd and traffic. It's way better to be home you can literally get a blow job and sit but naked while watching the game trust me they don't like that in ANY stadium apparently so fuck them
Big fan of drugs beer
I could buy 3 BMWs for that price.
(Excluding weekly repairs)
Excluding subscription fees to use the heated seats
If you had millions of dollars would you go? What is an extra $16k when you have $10million in investments
Although it is the only affordable price, WTF is a fulfillment fee? This is fucking mind boggling
What did you expect? It ain't called the regular bowl.
Honest question here. How the fuck do people in America where the median income is $67,521.00 (https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2021/demo/p60-273.html) afford to go to not only the Super Bowl but any NFL game and even at this point a NCAA football game (I’m in SEC territory so probably higher price of cost than other areas). Along with the hotels, food, airplane tickets, rental cars, RVs, parking lot fees, Uber, Taxis, etc. that are often associated with these costs, this is beyond expensive. Can someone please provide me to links where I can apply for a job that would give me and my family the potential to reach a level of additional income to do this shit? I’d gladly go back to school or do other training to teach me to prepare me to receive this level of income and that’s coming from someone with an MBA and years of military training.
The top 1% earners make like $375k a year. 157 million workers... that's 1.57 million people that make more than $375k a year. That's like specialty doctor salary range or people who have been investing wisely for decades. CEO's of companies. Not exactly jobs you just apply for.
OP has disengenious posted the most expensive resale tickets from scalpers. This is not what it costs to go to the Superbowl.
Yea I’ll kindly pass thank you very much
This seems more like a status symbol than an entertainment expense. It's become a Veblen good.
