Buyer Beware
Guide To Buying Super Bowl Tickets
There is a lot of excitement when it comes to the Super Bowl. The NFL holds the Super Bowl once every year and it has clearly become a great American past time. More people watch the Super Bowl on television than any other sporting event.
If you are an avid football fan, then there is nothing like attending the game in person. But for the average Joe, it can be a tough deal to pull off.
The NFL holds a drawing every year and selects a number of fans from the general public. If you are lucky enough to be chosen, you have the option of purchasing two tickets. But don’t get excited yet. The number of entries is huge and the tickets are limited. The NFL doesn’t state exactly how many tickets are distributed in this random drawing, but you can be sure the demand far outweighs the supply.
Unless you are a celebrity or have some inside connection, the only other option is to purchase the tickets on the secondary market. You’ll spend many times face value to watch the best of the best face off in this championship game.
With the huge amount of demand and the high price brought by these tickets, you should always be careful of fraud. With a single ticket worth thousands of dollars, you should be aware of those printing counterfeit tickets.
There are some good options available that will limit your possibilities of getting fake tickets.
1. The best precaution is to purchase the tickets from someone you know. This will be the only guarantee that you will be purchasing authentic tickets.
2. eBay can be a good option if you are careful and do some research. Buy from a seller that has a long history of good feedback. eBay now requires sellers to accept payment either by credit card or Paypal. So if something goes wrong, you’ll have the option of filing a claim with your credit card company.
3. Craigslist maybe a good option to find a multitude of tickets for sale, but it doesn’t provide the same level of buyer protection as eBay. On Craigslist, sellers can remain anonymous and accept payment by cash. If Craigslist turns out to be the option you choose, I’d recommend buying from a seller that would accept payment via credit card or Paypal.
If the transaction is more than a thousand dollars, you may even request the seller provide you with a Bill of Sale along with a copy of their driver’s license. This way, if something goes wrong, you will not be dealing with an anonymous seller and will have civil options to pursue.

Super Bowl Sunday Is The Biggest Unofficial Holiday

Super Bowl Sunday Is The Biggest Unofficial Holiday
In the 40 years since the first Super Bowl was played between Green Bay and Kansas City, Super Bowl Sunday has grown into an unofficial national holiday that has shopping and economic effects rivaling Christmas, Thanksgiving and other major official holidays. Whether it’s a casual get together with a few friends or a lavish, catered party, 125 million Americans celebrated the Super Bowl in some fashion in 2006. Even those with little interest in football get in on the craze, if only to watch the commercials.
Understanding this unique opportunity, advertisers spare no expense to showcase their products and services during the Super Bowl. Advertisers paid up to $2.5 million dollars for each 30 seconds of advertising during Super Bowl XL in 2006. Agencies work on their advertisements all year, and the Super Bowl has become the unofficial Academy Awards of advertising. There are almost as many websites and television programs analyzing the advertisements as there are analyzing the game.
The food and beverage industry also profits from Super Bowl Sunday. Super Bowl Sunday is second only to Thanksgiving in the amount of food that Americans prepare and consume. In the weeks leading up to Super Bowl XL, Americans spent $55 million dollars on food for their Super Bowl parties and spent ten million hours preparing it. Since it is estimated that an average of 17 people attend each Super Bowl Party, these figures are not surprising.
The king of Super Bowl food is the avocado. More avocados are sold in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl that at any other time of the year. It is estimated that 12 million pounds of avocados are purchased and turned into guacamole for Super Bowl parties. Since guacamole requires chips, 15,000 tons of chips are consumed as well. All that food needs washing down and soda and beer sales also top out during the weeks preceding the big game.
It’s not just food and beverage manufacturers who profit. Millions of dollars are spent on party supplies like paper plates, cups and plastic cutlery. Electronics stores also benefit. After all, you need that big-screen TV in order to properly appreciate the game. Even sales of antacids spike on the Monday following Super Bowl Sunday. There’s a good reason for that. The estimated total time that party-goers take to consume all that carefully prepared food: 15 minutes.
