Just saw a pair listed for $2700 in the secondary market. A lot of the brokers said in an article they are looking at a floor of $2200 but some expect worse. Here are the expected highs from Accuweather. These aren't the numbers with wind chill but actual temps from Thursday-Monday 16,13, 21, 18, 16. Thursday night wind chill is -14. I know everything is enclosed and downtown has pathways and tunnels but still some people like walk outside. I don't know what the set up is for US Bank but I imagine to get in the stadium your going to be exposed to the elements a long time getting through security. There just isn't enough room to set up tents for tens of thousands of people. It's usually a slow and tedious process getting into these stadiums for a Super Bowl. It's akin to getting in a federal office building in DC in this type of climate. I guarantee if this Super Bowl was in Miami, New Orleans or LA the lowest price ticket in the secondary market would be $800-$1000 higher. I understand that a large number of tickets on the market are from Vikings fans whose team got knocked out but to counter that Eagles fans go anywhere. They took over both the Chargers and Rams games and it's much longer to travel to LA from Philly than Minnesota. You can drive to Minny in two days. You can't do that going to LA unless your a maniac who will stay up for 48 hours. Some brokers even speculated that if you wait till day of game 2-3 hours before kick-off you might be able to get tickets for $1500 a piece. Around double the face value.
With weather like that i wouldn't want to hang around for a few days.
I would fly in the morning of the game & fly out on a red eye.

Now at $2550. I'm sure you can do a lot better if you are in Minneapolis. I don't think the glut of tickets hasn't even hit the market yet. Players from teams all across the league start showing up early next week to work radio row for their annual honorarium where they pick up $20,000+ for going on every radio and TV show talking football and hawking a product. Every player in the league is able to purchase two tickets at face value. Each player on the Super Bowl teams get two free tickets and can purchase up to 13 tickets each tickets each. Each team in the league besides the Super Bowl participants get 1.2% of the total available tickets. That is over 800 tickets a team. Naturally they are told to not sell the tickets but they all do. If you work in a team office earning $35,000-$40,000 as a secretary and can earn an extra thousand or two by selling your tickets why wouldn't you. Out of that 24,000 tickets I'll bet over 50% end up in the secondary market.
I was at the game and tail gateed all day.. I didn’t see one incident involving Vikings fans .. I didn’t see any fights or beer being thrown .. I seen a lot of chillin between the two tailgating .. the media takes one incident and plays it to death to fit there adjenda, now it’s like the eagles fan based raped and pillaged Minnesota fans.. the worst thing I seen the whole game was the asshole chant going into the stadium.. there wasn’t any Atlanta Falcons fans complaining after there first round loss.. there salty the team that beat there team has to goto there home now.. I said my peace , I could argue about it it till my face turns blue but it’s pointless.
This is why I said Vikes would get 80% of the tickets in another thread. Nobody wants to go to Minnesota the 1st week of February and the Vikes fans appetite to go to this game would've been insatiable. Once people saw they could get 5k a pop for these things, they would unload them to Vikes fans in a minute.
Haha, when I can get a lower level pair between the 20's for $ 1,500, please let me know
