Although the Super Bowl is not being staged in a state that has a side competing in the showpiece event, fans of the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers who have failed to get hold of a ticket through official means are likely to be flocking to the Dallas-Fort Worth area in order to soak up the atmosphere in the build-up to the greatest show on Earth.
Add to this equation the fact that the Packers are desperate to pick up their first Super Bowl for far too long, and the fact that the tie is likely to be an engaging and exciting one, and you can see why scalpers are beginning to lick their lips about how much money they can make despite the current difficult economic climate. Anyone looking to bet on Super Bowl action is likely to go out of his way in an attempt to watch the game live, and that means prices can skyrocket.
However, with fans likely to be aware of the risks of buying tickets from a scalper, and the NFL certain to be warning fans of the two teams to only buy tickets through official outlets, the likely effect is that those who are looking to make a profit through buying up as many tickets as they can before then reselling them are likely to remain as unpopular amongst fans as usual. The Super Bowl betting odds indicate it should be an exciting game, but the atmosphere would probably be even better if true fans were able to access the tickets more easily.
Despite this, the allure of a ticket to watch what is commonly viewed as the greatest show on Earth is something that means that those thousands of fans who have been left disappointed that they haven't been able to get tickets through the official routes are likely to be prepared to splash thousands of dollars on tickets that may not even get them entry to the game. For their sake, let's hope the game lives up to expectations.
