And if the distracting football air pressure issue wasn’t deflating enough, it appears someone has oversold tickets to unsuspecting buyers in the thousands. ABC News says that unlike previous years, the scenario for getting Super Bowl tickets at a reasonable price is not just a matter of waiting until the last possible minute to buy. That was how it played out in 2014 in New York where many fans got into MetLife Stadium by snaring tickets the day of the game for less than the listed price. But today’s match-up between New England and Seattle in Phoenix is on pace to be the most expensive Super Bowl ticket in history. A shortage of tickets made available to brokers on the secondary market has driven prices into five figures even for nosebleed seats. It’s left ticket companies having to offer refunds to buyers because the tickets never came through. And it’s left thousands of fans wandering around Phoenix without entry to University of Phoenix Stadium. Smokin’ good Super Bowl tasting at Grilltime
