hlb37 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Prices almost always fall dramatically in the last 36 hours. People don't like to make the trip with out the certainty of a ticket. Almost always. Which is, of course, a big gamble if you are coming from the UK. Unfortunately my group did not score any tickets in the lottery despite having had some of our tickets since the 50s and the rest from the 70s. here is a little bit of info on what is an extremely opaque process http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/01/23/in-wake-of-win-giants-have-bad-news-for-fans/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashTalker92 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I remember Casco has these tickets on sale. It was around $2,000 for really crappy seats. I'll post when I find that link again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstnten Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I can;t find anything under 2400.00 unless you want to sit in the parking lot and listen that will cost you 40 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstnten Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Here is what the NYG told me about SB seats. Five superbowls and the seats have been in my family since 76, not once did I get the oportunity to buy them. January 2012 The allotment of Super Bowl tickets given to the participating Teams is very limited. In order to distribute tickets for purchase as fairly as possible to our Non-Club Season Ticket Holders, we conducted a drawing by a random computer selection that was weighted by seniority. In order to be eligible for the drawing, your account must be in good standing. However, as in all drawings, there are no guaranteed selections; and unfortunately, your account was not selected for an opportunity to purchase tickets to Super Bowl XLVI. For each year that you have held tickets in your name, your account number was entered one time. For example, if you have held tickets in your name for fifteen years, your account number was entered in the computer drawing fifteen times. If you have owned tickets in your name for three years, your account number was entered in the computer drawing three times. If your account has been in your name since Yankee Stadium, your account number was in the drawing forty-six times. If your account has been in your name since Shea Stadium, your account number was in the drawing forty-one times. Therefore, the longer you have been a ticket holder the greater the likelihood of your account being chosen. We thank you for your support and look forward to a great 2012 season. Sincerely, New York Football Giants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Also remember, that even though you have an actual ticket, in this new bizarre fuck the fans world, you may not actually have a seat when you get there. Remember dallas last year?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste hours thinking about the Giants and discussing it. I'm an addict. look I'm pissed too. we have 8 seats in the 5k licence bracket. 2 date back to the polo grounds and the other 6 to the Yale Bowl in the early 70s and we didn't eben get a sniff. Yet in '86, '90 and '00 we hit at a 25% ratio. 2 In each year. But at the same time, If they are giving preference to someone who gave them 20k for a seat license? Well i guess I understand but they should have been up front about that when they built the dump that replaced our old stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblue25 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 If I was you, I would just fly to Ny and catch it in a sports bar. I know it's not the same, but you could stick around for the parade. Also, the hotels in Indy are insane right now and there is not much to do in Indy, besides the super bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
