SUPER
BOWL
2019
Courtesy Golden Tickets
H
ave you ever dreamed of
attending the Super Bowl?
Most football fans have,
even if their favorite team
isn’t playing. The event
transcends the sport of football and is
an experience like none other.
Golden Tickets specializes in tickets for
the Super Bowl and has been making
those dreams come true for the past
30 years for thousands of individuals
and companies.
Golden Tickets, based in Plano, has
been selling tickets on the secondary
ticket market since 1988. Golden
Tickets sells tickets to the Super Bowl
and other major events such as Mas-
ters, Kentucky Derby, World Series,
Summer Games and the World Cup.
They have earned their reputation for
honesty, integrity and accountability
in the manner in which they conduct
business.
There is a lot of information fans
should know about buying Super Bowl
tickets before they book their trip. The
outstanding sales team at Golden Tick-
ets is standing by to make your experi-
ence the best it can be.
How much are the current
prices for Super Bowl tickets?
At the time of this article, the prices run
from $4,750.00 to $17,500.00.
Is now a good time to buy your
tickets or do prices get low-
er as the game gets closer?
Since tickets to the Super Bowl are a
commodity (meaning they are not for
sale to the general public), the prices
will fluctuate based on supply and de-
mand. We have seen prices plummet
during the last Super Bowl in Atlanta
when an ice storm hit two days before
the games. We have also seen pric-
es skyrocket during the Super Bowl
in Phoenix a few years ago. At that
time, prices for end zone tickets were
$8,000.00 and up. So, the REAL
answer is that we never really know.
Golden Tickets bases their prices on
the current market value and changes
with the market. Ultimately, the custom-
er must decide when the time is right
for them.
Golden Tickets also has a Tour de-
partment where complete packages
for the Super Bowl can be purchased.
These packages include the tickets, ho-
tel rooms, tailgate parties, rental cars
and/or transfers. Each of these com-
ponents can be purchased separately
as well.
Regarding Tailgate Parties, Gold-
en Tickets has created a new brand for
our Super Bowl Tailgate party called
The Blitz Tailgate Party. This year it will
be held at the famous Hard Rock Café
located near the Mercedes Benz Stadi-
um. The party is for four hours prior to
the game and includes an all-you-can-
eat buffet, premium liquor, beer and
wine, NFL players, music and much
more. The price of the party if $475
per person. Tickets may be purchased
for other Super Bowl parties as well
and will be listed on our website as
they become available.
The atmosphere in the city is a big
part of the entire Super Bowl experi-
ence. There is a lot of energy in the
city. Fans are dressed up in their game
gear all weekend; the hotels, bars and
restaurants are decorated in festive Su-
per Bowl team colors. It is very likely
that you might run into past and pres-
ent NFL players and other celebrities.
Many people enjoy going from hotel
to hotel to hang out in the lobby and
see who they might see. Have a sharp-
ie pen on hand for those autographs!
The Super Bowl was our biggest event
for our first 20 years in the business.
However, for the last 10 years, the
Masters has been our biggest event.
We have a huge presence in Augus-
ta. Besides Golden Tickets, we have
our own Hospitality house called The
1018 Club and a home rental busi-
ness called Diamond Home Rentals.
Please check out each of our websites
for pricing and more information.
