Lion Heart 15,041 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 HOUSTON (AP) — Looking for a ticket to Super Bowl 51 in Houston on Feb. 5? Don't buy it now if you want to get the best price. The average price for tickets to the matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots is already down 9 percent from last year's game, according to ticket reseller StubHub. And they are expected to drop even more in the days leading up to the game. "I wouldn't be surprised if the average ticket price drops another $500-600 as the week goes," said Glenn Lehrman StubHub's global head of communications. .. When tickets first hit the market they were much more expensive mostly because many thought the Dallas Cowboys would be in the big game. Things changed quickly when they were eliminated by the Green Bay Packers in the NFC divisional round, dropping ticket prices by close to a third. "Tickets initially were pretty expensively priced because there was the anticipation that the Cowboys might be in the Super Bowl. So that kept the ticket prices high," Lehrman said. "And now usually in the first week (after teams are set) you see the tickets purchased by traveling fans, and once they've purchased the remaining inventory is usually left to the host city. "And those tickets will come down in price just because local fans probably aren't going to pay that much of a premium to see a team that they really don't have a rooting interest for." Fans in Texas have bought 38 percent of the tickets at StubHub so far, and not surprisingly, fans from Georgia (14 percent) and Massachusetts (13 percent) are second and third. http://pro32.ap.org/article/super-bowl-ticket-prices-down-and-could-drop-even-more?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP_NFL ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL ratings have been declining (generally) ever since the #Kaepernick incidents, and now ever since the Dallas Cowboys lost there has been a a decline in interest in this year's SB- as shown by the declining SB prices. I expect lower ratings for this year's SB. -- The Super Bowl follows a season when the average viewership per game was 8% lower than in 2015. It also was 6% lower than in 2014, deflating the argument that this year was an aberration as news channels featuring the latest about the unusual Presidential election drew many viewers who otherwise would have watched sports. http://deadline.com/2017/01/super-bowl-ads-hollywood-movies-nfl-ratings-1201894863/ ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The total viewship is always well over 100 Million though. It's not like the views are going to drop to 80M or something. Although, less people might tune in just because the Patriots aren't everyone's favorite team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
