Yesterday was a raining Sunday in Bay Area. There wasn’t much to do other than watching football all afternoon. Now that we know which two teams are heading to Super Bowl LI in Houston, will you be going there too? If you don’t already have Super Bowl LI tickets, be ready to shelf out some serious cash!
Official Super Bowl LI tickets packages – Wow they are expensive!
Soon after the game was over, I got an email from Ticketmaster. The official Super Bowl LI tickets package directly from NFL is now on sale. These packages offer unique on-location experiences that provide “VIP access to the best parties, hospitality & hotel accommodations. All packages include a pre-game tailgate within the stadium perimeter and appearances by NFL Alumni.” Wow they are expensive! You can find all details here.

I can’t afford those ticket prices, even if I can use points and miles to cover hotel and airfare! The question is, will I find cheap tickets for Super Bowl 2018 (in Minneapolis!) if I start planning now?

ScoreBig is a scam. I sold tickets through them and never got paid. They owe me and a lot of other ticket brokers alot of money.
