The fees are percentage-based. Expensive tickets result in expensive fees. Film at 11.

You think it's fine they're charging almost 25% extra for fees? On top of the fees they already got for the tickets they sold at face value? I get fees, but charging $1100 in fees just to purchase digital tickets of their site is outrageous.

People need to not use the greedy one who sucks the peniss.

Ticketmaster somehow has the cheapest fees. How is that possible?

So I’m headed to Phoenix tomorrow to hangout with a buddy. We’re gonna check out the festivities and watch the game at his house. I’m wondering, around kickoff what do you guys think the prices will be like?? What are the chances of grabbing a ticket for say … $2500??

Yeah I'd go hang out at the event, tailgate and try to buy tickets an hour before the game.

If you can't get some for your price, That's 5 grand you can spend at the bar and then the strip club and still have enough left over to buy a pretty sweet electric scooter.

So I looked again and yes ON Location charges fees/taxes but I called the broker and said I wanted to do $7500 for this and they agreed. It's selling for 2000 more online after fees/taxes. If you were to do their packages with hotel, transportation, and ticket included, those didn't include fees when you purchased online.

I talked with OnLocation yesterday. They’re definitely willing to “wheel and deal” a little bit. I am hopeful they’ll deal a little more as it gets closer.

I have the money, and am still making money. That being said, it’s a lot of dough for a four hour event. I’ve tried all of the “bucket list” stuff with the wife, but she’s not going for it.

I live within driving range (about 5 hours). I’ll probably get up early Sunday and see if tickets have dropped a bunch. If I can score a last-minute deal, I’ll jump in my truck and hit the road.

Unless anyone here has a better solution…

Funnily enough, my wife is the one trying to talk me into it and I'm being the level headed one. We've got an expensive 1st Disney trip for the family coming up and I'm also passively watching the housing market trying to buy a house when we can. At this point, I'm willing to gamble that we'll be back at some point in the future.

I went to Miami Superbowl and bought my ticket Sunday to attend Sundays Superbowl as well. Used Tickpick and searched the end of the Internet trying to find out how to get a hard copy!

It DOES SUCK!

TickPick, Tickesforless, ticketclub and tickiq is where I hit refresh daily. Tickpick and Ticketiq had best deals daily.

**** all that. Watch the game on TV, and take a trip to Fiji or something.

For what it's worth, I just noticed that I received an email from an account representative at On Location congratulating the Chiefs for making it again and asking if I wanted to schedule a phone call with him to discuss tickets for this year's game. I won't be able to go, but the fact that they reached out like that is consistent with the other posts in this thread indicating that they may be willing to do a little wheeling and dealing on the total cost.

If someone who hasn't been to a Super Bowl is thinking about going but is on the bubble, I would tell them to do it.

Thanks for the intel! Booking our flights to Phoenix now and we'll figure out tickets later
