If seeing a Super Bowl in person is on your “Bucket List”, this is the year to go. That’s the upshot of ConvergEx's annual review of prices associated with the event. 

The get-in price of ticket in Houston is currently $2,019, well less than last year’s $2,900 minimum cost.  Average ticket prices are also lower than 2016, at $4,417 versus $6,007 last year. 

 

While there is nothing cheap about attending the Super Bowl, something unusual is occurring in the lead-up to the Falcons-Patriots game this weekend. Ticket prices have suffered a precipitous drop in the last week...

Seven activists were arrested for feeding cold and hungry homeless people in a Tampa city park on Saturday afternoon. Florida police say that they made the arrests because the group did not have a permit to serve the food. The volunteers from ‘Food Not Bombs’ were aware that their actions were technically illegal, but putting compassion first they decided to pass out food anyway and say they will continue to do so.
