My Dad was an original Saints season ticket holder and I remember him taking a phone call from the Saints ticket office offering 4 seats to the SB. They were $15 each.
That was the one and only Super Bowl I have attended. We went down without tickets and bought 4 outside of the stadium for $5 each.

Only one for me, 1975. Tulane Stadium. Face value $20. Still got the stub but don't know how to post pics.
Don't try to teach me. I'm illiterate.
