Would you travel to Arizona if the Colts make it?

[SilentHill]

I'm having thoughts about this already, looking into pricing, and hotels, airfare, etc just in case.

 

Of course I was doing the same thing about this weekend to come to Indy until Baltimore messed that up.

 

Just wondering if anyone else is planning on going to Arizona if the Colts make it?

[AndrewQB1]

If anyone could get me a ticket I'd come from the United Kingdom to see the Colts in the Super Bowl.

I visited for the home New England game loved it, shame about the result but we'll put that right next week!!!

GoColts!!

[Scully]

I live in Arizona, but no I would not go see it as much as I want to. That would be financially irresponsible of me.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

I'm already here and planning on seeing it regardless of who the Colts are playing. ;)

[bavanlan]

I have a house lined up if they do and on the off-chance I get face value tickets by being a STH, but I can't justify paying the 5x markup on tickets if not.

[Luck-Fan12]

I wish I could if not for money I'd be there

[bestQBever]

unless I get mid-row sideline seats then no. Those are the best seats in the house. I don't want to pay 600$ to be stuck behind a goal post.

[chad72]

Irsay should just buy an Area 55 like area for the fans in the desert.

 

Take the 100 loudest fans in Indy, just get them the tickets and ask them to show up in Arizona by getting them tickets at the 50 yard line and end zones .

you'll pay more than that for the worst seats in the house

[Narcosys]

No kidding. Cheapest seats are over 2200 right now.

Heck hotel rooms are over 800 for one night.

How long have u been a season tix holder and where are you at in there? We have been a holder since 1994, in section 236 and are hoping for the chance to win (the opportunity to buy) tix. Do you know what the face cost will be?

[IndyD4U]

Absolutely!

Got on the waiting list in like 2006/7.  Finally got tickets for 2012.  In 445.

 

I have no clue what face will be, but I'd guess between $500 and $1,000 per for mid-upper levels.

 

Last I heard, they weigh it based on your seniority, so your chances are better than mine!

[radiogirl]

I won tickets from work to the Superbowl when it was in Indy and took my son.  I'm afraid that will be my last visit to a superbowl; even if the Colts are in it.  Got those pesky mortgage payments.....

[GoDeep]

Well, since each ticket is at least $2300 at minimum (all the way up to over $400,000) on stubhub...I'll say I am probably staying home and watching it.

[bababooey]

I sat in the endzone in 2009, flew down to Miami, stayed on my best friend's couch who was a student at the U, got 500 face value tickets through a friend at Ford for 900. My neighbor flew down and bought tickets day of in the parking lot for 700 not knowing if they were real or not. Best weekend of my life aside from the game. I spoke to some people who spent more in surcharges for tickets online that would have covered our flight.

[Fellow]

Being great fans, optimism is running rampant. But don't forget where the Colts are going this weekend, "The House Of Doom". Seattle v Patriots in the SB

[bestQBever]

exactly. I'm not gonna waste my money for that when I can have a better experience watching it on TV.

[MTC]

Possibly.

[Dr. Guildo]

Ticket prices pretty much eleminate real fans from being able to go to the Super Bowl which is a shame. I think I'd rather watch the game from the comfort of my own living room.

[pacolts56]

If the Colts make it....I'll hit up a family connection who PepsiCo hooks up every year and see if a Super Bowl freebee is available, and drive over to AZ.

 

Otherwise it's shrimp and steak at the house.

 

 

[crazycolt1]

With all the media and rich people who go to the super bowl, no thank you. It is one big sales pitch anyway. I will sit at home and watch with family and my own not so expensive food and drink.

[Timo1]

If I didn't have a house payment and new car payment to make I could justify going to the game. So after both of those are paid off in 7/4 years I could see going to the Superbowl to see the Colts play. Maybe rent or borough a RV and stay in it to save the over priced hotel room. Hopefully when I can afford to go Indy will be hosting and playing to the big game.

[Ja'Crispy]

And leave this lovely Indy weather?

In a heartbeat.

[Corndog]

Hmm, well if I could get tickets that are reasonably price sure.  I actually have a friend in Scottsdale, who I could probably stay with.  But realistically, unless I got hooked up with tickets at a reasonable price, no way.  

[sfergson727]

Nope.  For me, Superbowls are best enjoyed at home, with people whom I choose to be around, and all my creature comforts.  I have far better uses for the $$.

[luvdacolts67]

I live 5 min from the stadium. 

[FanFromtheWasteland]

Would I love to? Yes!!

Can I afford to? Absolutely Not!

[Architects08]

Used to live in AZ and would love to go if they make it. Tickets are super expensive though.

[azcolt]

Same here. The 40 mile drive across town is the only part I could afford.

[Gavin]

No better seat then in front of my big screen tv, I'd pass even if I had the money. The prices for seats alone are ridiculous

[SilentHill]

I'd probably only go, if I got a great deal, or if I knew a lot of Colts fans were going, and a noise could be made that rivaled the Seahawks last superbowl.

[Scully]

I live about 15 miles to the stadium

Ticketmaster and eBay people have them priced at $2500 minimum to sit at the top. then $8000 and up to sit near the sidelines. They are getting ridiculous with these prices. I thought the NFL was a nonprofit organization. Im assuming it all goes to charity...NOT!

 

Let us not forget there is a hidden service charge at checkout, which should be an additional more than $100...

[adamthyst]

If I had the monetary funds, no doubt about it, no questions asked.

The NFL is an collective of individual for-profit entities. The NFL itself doesn't make money as a company, it manages the relationship between the 32 individual companies in order to ensure that those for-profit entities make money.

Also, those likely aren't face value prices but are secondary markets.

Ummm. Then where are the cheaper tickets and how much do they sell them for? The colts website?

Tickets are made available to every team's season ticket holders and in much larger quantities to STHs of the two teams playing.

 

People on here who have gotten offers put pricing at $1200 per.  http://forums.colts.com/topic/34818-super-bowl-lottery-tickets-for-season-holders/

[bigjer]

Yep $1200 a piece and you have to pay by Friday and only get the tickets if colts win. I'm buying whether I go or not haven't decided.
