Here's how much beer costs at the Super Bowl

[jazzcat22]

Those are standard prices at just about every major sporting event, but somehow people only think it's Jerry that rips off the fans.....

And Jerry's beers are cheaper than $12.00.

The free market always has the answer

Yup, as soon as they feel the price point is negatively impacting demand to the point that they're losing revenue, prices will drop. Obviously, that hasn't happened yet. And probably won't -- they know exactly where to set these prices before doing so.

Do people not go to pro sporting events? That looks pretty typical.

Gotta learn how to smuggle alcohol in, or you'll go broke!

Is how amateurs usually do it, though you could easily get caught.

This is more like it.
That's why everyone needs about 10 of these, that or just go with one of the ipad versions.

that was cheap.

2 years ago in NO it was 19 for a 12oz bottle of bud light, and 25 for 16 oz stella

Those prices look no different than, say, regular Dodgers game prices.

Yeah. I worked a game for my sons wresting team at 49ers stadium this year, and sold Bud and Bud Wipe for $10.75/bottle. Did hundreds and hundreds of transactions, doing the math purely in our heads (there were four of us). At the end of the day, we counted the empty cases, wrote off whatever was added incorrectly as 'breakage,' and dumped the envelope with however-many-grand into a chute and went home. Crazy-weak inventory control, but at that margin, they didn't care.

What kills me about that pic, though, is the $15 souvenir popcorn. Lol.

But in NO you can buy beer in the adjacent mall for way less and drink while your wife is buying a skirt. They literally sell beer all over the place outside the stadium on game day.

so, it would cost me about 150.00 to get drunk. sheesh...you really just rent the stuff anyway.

 

[SPCowboysfan9]

These leagues would go out of business if they waited for me to pay those prices.....got more important ways to spend my money.

 

[NextGenBoys]

Supply and demand at it's finest...er worst.

 

[WV Cowboy]

I don't drink, but if I did, I think I would stop at those prices. LOL

That borders on stupid.

 

[dogunwo]

The extra "home game" the Giants got against the Saints seems even more unfair now.

 

[ologan]

I can get an 18 pack of PBR and a bad of Bugles for less than one draft beer.

(Although I went overboard and got a case instead)

I think you, singlehandedly, are keeping PBR and their brewer in business!

yes, you can buy beer anywhere basically. i bought one walking down the street to the stadium.
