Resale market for Super Bowl tickets slips after Cowboys ousted
Resale market for Super Bowl tickets slips after Cowboys ousted
The Super Bowl ticket resale market slumped minutes after the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.Before Sunday's playoff game, the cheapest ticket to Super Bowl LI on StubHub was $4,195. Shortly after the Cowboys were defeated 34-31 on a field goal as time ran out, the get-in price was down 20 percent to $3,349.
Tickets in the lower end zone dropped 18 percent to $4,307. Ticket brokers had already been benefiting from people speculating that the Cowboys would make their first Super Bowl in 21 years -- and in nearby Houston, no less."The threat of the Cowboys playing in a Super Bowl within a four-hour drive of their home stadium was propping up get-in ticket prices to unprecedented levels," said Patrick Ryan, co-founder of Eventellect, a Houston-based ticket distribution company. "Cowboys fans were willing to take the risk of buying tickets and their team not making it because of the uncertainty of what would happen if they did make it."
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Yeah, Donald Trump will be president in less than a week, but on the flip side, we can all take comfort knowing that Nick Saban and Jerry Jones won't win a title in 2017.
There's a silver lining to everything if you look hard enough.
I think you're going to see a lot of different United States of America over the next three, four, or eight years. - President Donald J. Trump

Heck I'd pay extra to see the cowboys get beat by New England.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
