Seahawks fans to outnumber Broncos fans at Super Bowl as prices drop?

[bayone]

Seattle Seahawks supporters are expected to outnumber Broncos fans by a clear margin at Super Bowl XLVIII, according to reports from ticket-reselling giant StubHub and two ticket-search firms.

 

Data from the three companies also show that prices for Sunday's game in East Rutherford, N.J., have dropped significantly over the past week.

 

StubHub said Monday that 18 percent of its Super Bowl ticket sales have come from the state of Washington, followed by New York with 14 percent. Colorado residents have snatched up 12 percent of tickets sold, StubHub said.

 

report from SeatGeek, which aggregates ticket listings from a wide array of reseller sites. The company said 18 percent of all Super Bowl ticket shoppers are originating from Washington versus 8 percent from Colorado.

 

HOWEVER

 

I may be wrong but I assume many a Giant fan are included-in those NY figures and they would like Eli's brother and should be added to Broncos Voices, at least I hope so, & in any case, Peyton / Broncos can win anywhere

 

I do remember SB 44 , Saint fans were so numerous at times u thought it was a Saints home game

 

Finally , article has Chart showing California buying more than Colorado fans , will they be for Seahawks or against  & shout loudly for Broncos as seahawks beat their San fran 49, rs  and are enemies , truly a big rivalry that sherman made bigger

The NFL doesn't want Denver Broncos season-ticket holders to know how many seats to the Super Bowl it gave the team, but the number was "extremely limited" and less than fans realize

.

Angry Broncos fans have been calling and writing the Broncos, as well as The Denver Post and talk radio shows, to complain about the lack of transparency.

 

"What this really comes down to is that they are driven by profits, and selling the tickets to their suite owners, the advertisers and travel package companies, they can make more money," said Tim Hoops, a Broncos season-ticket holder since 1967 who has not won any of the seven Super Bowl lotteries since then.

Apparently, Broncos-Seahawks isn't of interest to very many people.

 

"So much for being the most expensive Super Bowl ever.

With ticket prices in a freefall, seats for Sunday’s MetLife Stadium matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos could end up being the least expensive for a Super Bowl since the post-9/11 game of 2002.

After hitting record highs last week, ticket prices took a nose dive over the weekend, with the cheapest prices plummeting nearly 50 percent, to a low of $1,150 from about $2,200 at 9 a.m. on Jan. 19.

While the cold weather had been a concern, that’s now been factored into prices and isn’t expected to have much of an effect going forward, unless there is a snowstorm, market watchers said.

Instead, limited travel demand by fans of the two Western teams, a glut of available tickets and sluggish interest in the New York metropolitan area are contributing to the tailspin."

It's the weather and the location, No one wants to go freeze their butt's off in NJ in February, when you could be home watching it for free in your nice warm living room. Also, the stadium is not that close to NYC, no one wants to put forth the effort to figure out the train system, and all of the logistics of travel in the area to boot.

I'm on the fence as to who the neutrals will be pulling for to win. Seattle is as dirty as they come but no one really brings that up. People still like them. If Peyton and the Broncos win they (Peyton) might start to experience Patriot Syndrome. People resent a lot of winning.

A ton of pro-bowlers said they were pulling for Manning and the Broncos.

Not that is an indication. I just found that interesting.

I think they resent cheating actually. Not me mind you. I like the Pats. Running up the score is particularly pleasing to me. Oh, and being bad losers. I like that too.

I'm sure that it gives you pleasure to write all that - fortunately your logic is faulty.

 

Clearly either teams season ticket holders could fill the entire stadium if given the chance, and clearly Peyton is the most popular player in the league riding a unique story line. But the economy stinks, the weather is worse, the hotels are outrageously expensive and the plane rides absurdly long. I can't afford to go and I'm 50 miles away. I have no interest in visiting NY this time of year and I don't have to worry about travel or hotel.

 

Yes, the economy has been lousy for awhile, but all recent SBs have been in warm weather climates aside from Indy, and that featured NY/NE with vastly larger fan bases,  vastly shorter traveling distances, vastly nicer predicted weather, and a DOME.

 

More to the point, I've read elsewhere what I highlighted in your post - that the average sale price of tickets at various points in this process has been HIGHER than in any previous year. I've also read that ticket prices ALWAYS drop in the lead up to the game, rebounding at the last minute when I guess people have to pull the trigger or stay home. But there probably aren't a heck of a lot of out-of-towners who'd be interested in paying for several extra nights of hotel space at hundreds of dollars per just to stand in the middle of Broadway in the frigid weather we are currently experiencing. As a vacation destination it hardly compares with Bourbon Street the week before Mardi Gras.

 

It's the WEATHER, not lack of interest in the game.

They sell out stadiums in the Northeast for outdoor hockey games, you could look it up.  If East coast teams were playing, the place would be packed.  Dan Marino says the SB should be in Miami every year. 

[lollygagger8]

Richard Sherman made everyone that was indifferent an immediate Broncos fan. Plus I think Eli fans will root for Peyton. 

 

I think the Broncos will have plenty of fans there.

They sold out stadiums a couple of times for LOCAL outdoor hockey games. It's not a vacation, it's an afternoon out, and you don't have to take out a HELOC for the pleasure.

 

And it's going to be packed regardless - you make it sound as if there will be empty seats.

 

But yes, I agree that the SB should be in warm weather sites every year. Marino favors Miami for obvious reasons, but a rotation of 1/2 dozen would be better. This entire escapade is ridiculous.

Denver cheats (Biggest fine and most draft picks ever lost), Seattle cheats (25% of their D has been popped for banned substances) and the Patriots cheat (filmed the opposing teams cheerleaders along with some grainy DC footage). 

 

No one has ever run the score up more than Peyton and Denver did this year. NFL players are big boys and can take it.

Patently absurd. They kept the foot on the accelerator more than the prior year because being too conservative had proven to be problematic - including arguable costing them the Ravens playoff game.

 

But "running up the score" suggests classlessly putting your foot on the opponents throat in an effort to humiliate them. The Broncos most certainly did not do that last year (nor has ANY Peyton led team ever done so). The Pats most certainly have- which is obviously why you are eager to justify the concept. Whether NFL players can "take it" or not, poor sportsmanship should never be applauded.

 

I recall a grand total of one "unnecessary: touchdown, and that was when they appeared to want to get the TD record out of the way against Houston. Whether that was because they weren't sure if Peyton would even need to take a snap the following week, or because they didn't feel like dealing with the media for another week about the topic I don't know - but Houston didn't say much more than "congratulations" as a result.

 

Now ask Rex Ryan or Eric Mangini about whether the Pats ever try to make things personal.

The game was also inside in Indy.

 

There might be a lot for a tourist to do in NYC, but as I live in NY (90 min from NYC) it's a giant waste of my time and money, and also a 2 year old would never make it from metlife to NYC, It's impossible and I call your bluff.

 

I remember the first time I walked into grand central station, I said, what the heck? Where are these trains? how do I get there? what is going on here. It's really not that easy.

You can stand on your head and repeat this all you want, but it's not "nonsense". There's more to it than reading the final scores. Did you watch the games?

 

IE: People harped on a late extraneous TD to Thomas early in the season - oblivious to the fact that it started as a screen pass behind the line of scrimmage. Their goal was to get a first down. Having gotten it they would have run the clock out. More often they put games away in the third, eased off, then watched the opponent close the score in garbage time. That's hardly running the score up.

 

No flip flopping involved what-so-ever. I loudly voice my objections when my own teams violate my principals. If I was a Pats fan I would have been at times embarrassed to the point that I'd have left messages for the front office. I've very rarely ever had reason to feel even remotely that way about the Colts or Broncos. None of this is a condemnation of Brady, he's just doing what his coach tells him to do.

It was unusually warm in Indy that year. Also, NYC is at least 40 minutes to the stadium on a good day. I bet its well over an hour at this point in the week

[TAPLOOK]

Flip flopping like a fish on the boat deck.

 

Your Broncos are the one of if not the biggest cheaters in NFL history and their current GM was smack dab in the middle of it but I'm sure he has changed.

 

Three TD's in the 4th up by two scores going in isn't running it up? Not for Peyton and your Broncos it isn't. I understand. I'm glad you feel good about them as you should.

I'm a 20 minute drive from Gillette but you can't get out of there after a game. A few years ago I took the Amtrak that drops you right at the stadium and now I'm out of there and in bed before most are out of the parking lot.

If u watched my post , link below of Madden video, know u didnt comment but maybe y u watched, it answers this , it states blatantly that Broncos take a good lead but as often during the season fail  late to maintain it and this time Seahawks were able to tie and broncos couldnt hold on & thats why went into OT ^ then broncos won

 

amazing the game knew they have issues putting teams away and its not running up the score, to much prevent defense to me
