I knew Super Bowl tickets were hard to come by, but I never knew they were this rare!
The SF Gate reports that "more than 60,000 [of the 67,000] tickets are distributed to corporate sponsors, business associates of the NFL, players, ex-players and major television networks."
The Oakland Raiders organization received an allotment of 11,500 tickets. Of that allotment, 2000 went to fans and 9,500 went to the team for its "players, ex-players and corporate friends."
Now, I'm not one to tell the NFL, or the Oakland Raiders how to run their business. But for Super Bowl I, the NFL couldn't give away all of the tickets. Now, attending the Super Bowl is so far removed from the common man, that TV is just about the only option available.
