Super Bowl Tickets.
This picture astounded me when I saw the prices involved so I checked to see if it was true and found the following article regarding the prices.
This year's Super Bowl tickets are the most expensive ever.
New York (CNN Business) Put America's most popular sporting event in its second-largest metropolitan area. Put the stadium's home team in the game facing an opponent that has never won a championship.
What do you get? Unsurprisingly, you get record Super Bowl ticket prices.
SeatGeek said that the average price customers are paying for tickets as of Monday was $10,427. StubHub has an average of $9,800. The cheapest seats to Super Bowl LVI are being sold for about $7,000.
Ticket prices could go up in the coming days. A record number of tickets are expected to be sold for the big game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals at LA's SoFi Stadium.
"This is LA. The entertainment capital of world, where prices for everything are through the roof. This is a perfect storm," said Adam Budelli, spokesperson for StubHub.
The fact that LA fans won't have to pay for travel and hotels is also going to drive up the price, said Budelli. And this year's Super Bowl will be the first held in Los Angeles in 30 years.
"Proximity to the game for the teams' fans is always a major factor in pricing," he said.
A ticket to last year's Super Bowl, held in Tampa, Florida, averaged $8,600 on SeatGeek. That game also included a home team: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But those tickets had a somewhat distorted price, as capacity was limited because of Covid precautions. The last pre-Covid Super Bowl, the 2020 game in Miami, averaged $8,550 a seat on StubHub.
Along with New Yorkers, LA fans are always among the most hungry for Super Bowl tickets, said Chris Leyden, director of consumer strategy for SeatGeek, right behind fans in the host city and the two cities where the competing teams play.
Leyden said that Cincinnati will be well represented, based on where buyers were logging on to look for tickets after the Bengal's upset win on Sunday.
"Even though it's a small market, when it's been that long of a drought, there's going to be a lot of excitement," he said.

Claims to have gone to the Superbowl, yet can't produce a few photos of the occasion.
The only super bowl you've ever attended had bumper rails preventing gutter balls.

As Super Bowl LVIII between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs descends on Las Vegas, so too does the latest instalment of a Taylor Swift story that has taken the NFL by storm this season...
Swift's relationship with Chiefs tight end and future Hall of Famer Travis Kelce has emerged as one of the unlikely but immovable storylines of the 2023 season, her celebrations in the stands becoming one of the most sought-after sights on Kansas City's road back to the Super Bowl.
Beneath over-exhausted camera shots and unrelenting questions, Swift's presence has been transformative in garnering an entirely new fanbase to the league.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell welcomed the 'Taylor Swift effect' such has been its impact in appealing to younger female audiences.
