10 things you can buy instead of a Super Bowl 50 ticket
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – Super Bowl tickets are notorious for being absurdly priced. Even two weeks before the big game, the average price for a Super Bowl 50 ticket was topping $5,400.
That’s a lot of money for one night of fun. Here’s 10 other things you can buy instead of buying a SB 50 ticket:
1. Bora Bora, French Polynesia Vacation for 2 – $5,233
For four nights, you and a friend can enjoy one of the most beautiful and relaxing places in the world. On Expedia, $5,233 will not only buy the airfare but also four nights at a Polynesian resort.
2. 65″ LG Smart Ultra HD TV – $4,999
Instead of spending $5k to watch one game, why not spend it on a new TV that you can watch ALL the games on?
4. Sit courtside at a Warriors game…8 TIMES – $4,800
This depends on the game and who they are playing, but the average courtside ticket price for a Warriors game at Oracle in Oakland is only $600. That means you could go to 8 games, instead of one big game.
5. 2001 Ford Mustang – $5,200
