How loud will the Skoal chants be

Viking horn doesn't do anything. Its a sound from someone in a booth. That's why when they show people blowing it, it usually sounds off when they ain't actually blowing.

Its 'skol

It won't be. It gets down to that about because each teams fans don't typically travel for the sb. They come down because the pool of buyers in the host city is relatively small. The pool of buyers for a Vikings SB will be most of the city's residents so demand and prices will remain high.

If the Vikings go then some season ticket holders will get to buy tickets at face value. They will be less than $1000.

It's gonna be like 10% home fans.

The Vikings have not been in the Super Bowl since 1976. There are no flight or hotel costs.

Last year, season ticket members who won the lottery were offered face value tickets.

I believe each team is allocated over 15% of the seats. Even if they go to premium accounts and organization holds, they are still Vikings fans.

Plus, there are plenty of fans who are going to pay on the secondary market if they make it. I have been to a Super Bowl, and there was way more than 10% of both fan bases there. It sure seemed like the majority of the people there were fans of one team or the other.

There are a ton of people in Minnesota who just spend money on the Vikings. What else can you do in -20 degree weather?

Nice try though.

The super bowl attempts to make both teams feel like the home team.


Miami played Get Crunk during the Saints SB win. Whatever each team has as a "pump the fans" up makes an appearance at the SB so the horn would be used anyway along with chants and other waste of time

I'm sure you know better than the season ticket holder who talked with the rep

Those prices are for all of his 4 tickets on the club level. Comes out to $3750 a piece. Super bowl ticket pricing came out this week as $900-$5000 each so how exactly is that not believable?

That is cause that guy unfortunately was not selected to buy his seats.

For the season ticket holder: if you do not get them at face value, then you have to buy absurd packages from official NFL-approved third parties. The Super Bowl tickets themselves are not supposed to be sold above face value, so they throw in a few gifts and a pre-game tailgate and jack up the price thousands of dollars.

, a source with intimate knowledge of this year’s Super Bowl ticket release provided Yahoo Sports with the face values of this year’s batch. Despite expected frigid temperatures in Minneapolis, the site of next month’s Super Bowl, face value (the price printed on the ticket itself) will be predictably rich. A raise in prices has this year’s seats ranging from $950 in the worst nosebleed offerings all the way to the $5,000 club seats that are typically gifted to sponsors, executives and other VIPs by the league.


quote:

Those are the “zero markup” prices, mind you. The secondary market could be much higher, potentially astronomical if the Vikings beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC title game on Sunday. How high could they go? Multiply the face value of tickets by four, five or six times their printed price. Or more.


quote:

In between the prime seats and the nosebleeds, the NFL’s face values for all lower bowl seats start at $2,700 each. Second-tier club seats – in the Medtronic and Hyundai clubs – are listed at $3,500 apiece. That’s roughly the same amount as a Vikings season ticket in the same section. StubHub’s cheapest ticket in this section starts at $9,000.

That refutes nothing I said. Ticket prices started at $900 last year. Selected season ticket holders of both teams were given the option to purchase at different price points generally at $900 or $1,100.

The $900 ticket is the affordable one if you get selected.

A lot

My point is not that tickets aren't expensive, it's your notion the crowd is mainly corporate

It isn't. The crowd is a heavy majority of fans from the actual teams. And Minny being at home, gives them a huge advantage to grab standard tickets given to each fanbase, the corporate tickets that are given will likely be Minny fans, and since they don't have to travel they will also have more money to spend on secondary market tickets

Maybe I heard him wrong, but this is straight from a SBL holder. He called and asked what the prices would be and that's what he was told. Would the allotment for the host city cost more than the allotment to the teams? He called before the season, not when it was looking like the Vikings could make it.
