The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune said Thursday that for the first time in the history of the NFL, a single Super Bowl ticket is being sold for $1,000.
NFL officials announced tickets for the 2009 event at Tampa's Raymond Jones Stadium will have a face value of $800 and $1,000.
The record-setting ticket price comes after the last Super Bowl featured tickets costing $700 and $900, the Tribune said.
NFL Vice President of Corporate Communications Brian McCarthy told the newspaper the league is considering offering a limited number of discounted tickets for the Feb. 1 event.
