Report: No discipline for Kings' Brown
BOSTON, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- New England Patriots fans, sky-high about the team trying to achieve a perfect season by winning Super Bowl XLII, are paying sky-high prices to go to the game.
With the Patriots trying to complete the first-ever 19-0 season against the NFC champion New York Giants, Boston area fans are paying ticket prices several times higher than the face value of $700, the Boston Globe reported Tuesday.
Boston ticket-seller Ace Tickets has tickets for the Feb. 3 game in Glendale, Ariz., starting at $3,200 in the upper-level end zone, and climbing as high as $10,000 each for midfield seats. On StubHub.com, an online marketplace owned by eBay, the average sale price Monday was $4,451 per ticket, higher than last year's $4,004 average price, the Globe said.
"It really is truly a once-in-a-lifetime situation," said Jim Holzman, president of Ace and AceTicket.com. In addition to individual tickets, his firm is selling travel packages starting with air and hotel at $5,700.
