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...
As CBS Sports reports, things were rolling with the possibility of a Patriots-Cowboys matchup on the docket (and probably would have set records for prices) but took a fall when the Cowboys lost to the Packers. The prospective Steelers/Patriots-Packers/Falcons matchup meant at least some kind of good football matchup, which drove the price up.
But steadily throughout the week, there's been a decline -- perhaps a lack of movement in terms of sales -- and then this week the bottom fell out of the market.
Almost overnight the price dropped by nearly $1,700, and that's just the median price on the secondary market. You can suddenly get in the game for less than $2,000.
