I do believe that many of the better seats are owned by corporations. My employer PVH Corp licensed the 'Izod' Center when the Nets were still playing there; as a result, we also got season tickets to various games at the Meadowlands. When the tickets weren't given away or taken for corporate use, they are raffled to us employees. Now that the Nets have moved to Brooklyn, we have 2 corporate boxes at the Brooklyn Center as a concession and the tickets are raffled to employees . I've also gotten free tickets to family events at the Izod Center for Disney ice shows and WWE wrestling - I really wish I had asked for the Tribute to American Skating, but I was away in HK.
Anyway, yesterday, they announced a raffle of Super Bowl tickets, which included bus transportation from NYC and a pre-party. Unfortunately, they are outside seats! I'm sure the corporate execs and sales people claimed the box indoor seats. One of my co-workers is a Broncos fan and he doesn't want to put his name in because it'll be too cold!
Super Bowl is truly an 'Event' for football fans. I think very few people would pay that much money if they weren't at least a fan of football in general...... of course, there are people who are just there because they have the connections or money, but same is true of skating. I went to SOI and noticed 2 Mom's and 2 little girls with on ice tickets - none of them was really paying attention to the skating - they only time the little girls perked up was in Steven Cousins skated near them.
