Is it to say that you went to see your team in person?
Is it the whole atmosphere of hanging out in that environment?
Is it to see celebrities and be with a unique crowd once a year?

I don't think any other single premier event goes hyper-cost increase than the Super Bowl.

Not the Daytona or Indy 500, US Open for golf or tennis, Rolling Stones or Bruce Springsteen tickets.

This seems like a $10,000 a person or greater event for a very short period of time, almost lile paying for a small wedding.

For any of you who recently attended, is it really worth all the extra money? Why is it so great to attend in person?

I went to the 100th US Open at Pebble Beach and it did not come across as so much better than other PGA golf events I have attended.

No criticism, just really curious.

I went to Miami and Superbowl 54 with my son. The whole weekend cost about $15k with tix to the game and having known the outcome now, I would have paid double. Absolutely the best weekend of my life. I have a video of me an my son crying like little girls after Williams runs in the TD to go up 31-20 and you knew we had done it. I am fortunate to have done well and was able to afford to do that and as they say, "you can't take it with you". I was close to pulling the trigger last year, but win or lose, I don't think anything can top SB 54 that exorcised all the "because Chiefs" demons.
