Nosebleed seats for the "Big Game" 🏈 $5,726.

1. I covered the 2008 Super Bowl in Phoenix for the AZ Republic

The face value of the tickets ranged from $500-$1000, but resale obviously pushes much higher. One thing one of my co-workers did was go to row 1, 50-yard-line and wait to see who sat their, and how much they paid. It ended up being some dude who was in town for the Phoenix Open and dropped 10K on the ticket (without his wife's knowledge). Martha Stewart was sitting behind the guy, IIRC. Same reporter did the same thing at a Fiesta Bowl back in the 90s, and it ended up being Scott Stapp from Creed who had the front-row seat.
I personally saw LL Cool J, Kurt Russell and Kate Hudson in the crowd.
That said, I did interview a lot of regular people who were season ticket holders and won the lottery to buy tickets. The game is expensive, but it's not quite as elitist as it is portrayed - or at least wasn't 15 years ago.
