Super Bowl XLI Tickets: What’s the hubbub at StubHub?

September 28, 2006

What’s all the hubbub about Super Bowl tickets?

In February of 2007, Dolphins Stadium in Miami will host what has become the biggest sporting event in the United States – the Super Bowl. Tickets to a game like this are among the most sought-after in sports, let alone the NFL, and many fans wait for years just for the chance to see a Super Bowl.

Tickets to the game can be found, but you need to act early. While Dolphins Stadium may hold over 75,000 fans, that isn’t nearly enough seats to accommodate everyone who is looking for a Super Bowl ticket. The game is not only the culmination of the NFL season, it’s a national holiday. Given the extreme demand for every Super Bowl ticket, you may need help in locating Super Bowl XLI tickets.

That’s why we’ve launched this Super Bowl blog to give you and other fans, buddies, couples, families and businesses the latest news and information about NFL football ticket sales.

Who are we? According to William Grimes of The New York Times, “To anyone surfing the Web, StubHub looks like a ticket brokerage. It’s not. The company, founded (in 2000) by a couple of Stanford Business School students, is a kind of stock market where the only shares traded are tickets to live events….Buyers and sellers mingle in the marketplace and, through free negotiation, arrive at a price that reflects the true value of a commodity.”

Now that we’ve disclosed our transparent biases, may we offer a suggestion? If you want to buy Super Bowl tickets, it would be wise to get your hands on them as soon as possible. Last week, ticket prices ranged from $4,475 to $9,250. And the best tickets for the best seats will go faster than you can say, “Halftime show.” Get Super Bowl tickets at StubHub.
