OT: Super Bowl question

Post by PonyFan »

A co-worker was saying this morning that every player on every NFL team gets 2 tickets to the Super Bowl. I said no way, because that would be over 2000 tickets the league couldn't sell.

Anyone know which is true?

Players and coaches most certainly have access to tickets that are not placed for sale with the general public but I couldn't tell you if they were free or not.

It also varies by team. Years ago we had a box for the Oilers at the old Dome, and it gave us the right to purchase two Super Bowl tickets every year. They weren't free, but the options gave us good tickets at face value.

From wiki

WHO GETS WHAT?
74.8 percent of tickets are split among the NFL teams
5 percent to the host city's team
17.5 percent to the AFC champion
17.5 percent to the NFC champion
34.8 percent are distributed among the remaining teams (1.2 percent per team)
25.2 percent of all Super Bowl tickets are controlled by the NFL and distributed among companies, sponsors, media and networks
