More SB coverage: XLVIII odds | Expert picks | Latest news

Here's the thing about weather forecasts: They like to change. And, believe it or not, weather is never the same. So while we have a recent forecast calling for fairly mild weather, as of Saturday we're now staring at ICE PELLETS and 70 percent chance of precipitation for Super Bowl XLVIII.

Additionally, the high, per Weather Underground, is 34 degrees. So that's fun.

Top 10 coldest games in NFL history

Being a Packers' season ticket holder going back to being at the Ice Bowl game in 1967 and at the Packers/49ers game on Jan 5, 2014, plus being at some of the other 10 coldest NFL game at Lambeau Field, I think the weather forecast for the Super Bowl is delightful.

I was not aware of the extra fees non the site I was looking at. I was just about to start putting in my CC info and the price with fees went to just under $1400 per ticket.

Super Bowl XLVIII Tickets And Weather: What History Tells Us About Where Prices Will End Up




Over the last five years, the average price change in the two weeks between conference Championship Sunday and the SuperBowl has been a decline of 23%. For the 2014 Super Bowl between the Broncos and Seahawks, ticket prices have already declined by 19% since the conference championship. While many are prognosticating that this will be the worst market for Super Bowl tickets in years, and that prices will continue to fall, another recent, cold-weather Super Bowl suggests otherwise.

While the media and ticket sellers throwing in the towel and using words like ‘disaster’ and ‘catastrophe’, it’s worth remembering the conditions in 2011 that drove ticket prices down 19% in the week after the conference championship. Known as the 2011 Groundhog Day Blizzard, a severe winter storm blanketed the Dallas-Fort Worth area in 5 inches of snow the week before the game. The unprecedented weather disrupted game preparations and kept ticket buyers on the sidelines. Flights into and out of Dallas-Fort Worth Airport were cancelled or delayed and schools were closed for an entire week. Peter King, the Sports Illustrated writer said the following via Twitter: “I’m telling you: I-30 between Dallas + Fort Worth is a plow-less, snow-windswept moonscape. This is officially a debacle.” The below chart shows the price changes in ticket prices in each week leading up to the big game:

At a 19% decline in average list price over week one, SuperBowl XVLIII has matched XLV’s week-one drop. That drop means that this year’s game has also dropped as much as two of last four Super Bowl’s declined over the full two weeks prior to the game. In 2011, rather than continuing to decline in week two, though, prices rose 9%. Here’s an infographic that shows price trends so far and weather forecasts as as well as other info on parties. Right now, the cheapest ticket is going for $1,600, which is just $200 above where the get-in prices ended up in 2010 and 2012. In 2011, the get-in price ended up at $2,600, while last years game was just over $1,000.

Last week in New York City, schools also closed under a foot of snow, and ticket prices for the first ever cold-weather outdoor Superbowl plummeted, just like 2011. New York is, of course, much more prepared for winter conditions and keeping things moving in bad weather. While three out of the last four years suggest that week two will see further price declines for SuperBowl tickets, 2011 can’t be dismissed. If you’re in the market for tickets, keep a close eye daily trends for price and quantity. The last thing Broncos and Seahawks fans want is to be left out in the cold having paid more for a ticket than you could or should have. This Metlife Stadium Seating Chart is a good illustration of all the different areas available to help you make your decision. In 2011, by the time the coin-toss was settled, the Packers-Steelers game was the most expensive Super Bowl in the last five years, which means that the next couple days may be the best time to buy.

I would bet that they will have the game on Sunday. Way too much money involved to reschedule, JMHO!

The game was played at the Cowboys Stadium which is enclosed so it really isn't a fair comparison.
