Countdown to SB XLIV - Ingles

Pro Bowl, Super Bowl festivities don't have to cost super bucks

Having a big Super Bowl experience doesn't have to mean a big expense. This article was written by Sarah Talalay and appeared in The Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel.

Oh sure, with the 2010 Pro Bowl and Super Bowl XLIV in South Florida, you could spend a bundle: $195 for the top-priced Pro Bowl ticket, $1,000 for a Super Bowl ticket if you were lucky enough to get one at face value. If you have to try the secondary market — and if the New York Jets win the AFC championship game Sunday — a ticket could set you back a minimum of $2,500 and perhaps as much as $9,000.

Add in some fancy parties and it could take until December to pay off the next two weeks' worth of entertainment. The Maxim party at the Raleigh? Another $1,600 to buy a pass. The Playboy bash at the Sagamore? Nearly $3,000.
