Purchasing Super Bowl Tickets - Buyer Beware

By: Brent Crouch Home | Recreation-and-Sports


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.
