Resale market for Super Bowl tickets slips after Cowboys ousted

[RS12]

The Super Bowl ticket resale market slumped minutes after the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.

Before Sunday's game, the cheapest ticket to Super Bowl LI on StubHub was $4,195. Shortly after the Cowboys lost, 34-31, on a field goal as time ran out, the get in price was down 20 percent to $3,349. Tickets in the lower end zone dropped 18 percent down to $4,307.

Ticket brokers had already been benefiting from people speculating that the Cowboys would make their first Super Bowl in 21 years and in nearby Houston no less.

"The threat of the Cowboys playing in a Super Bowl within a four-hour drive of their home stadium was propping up get-in ticket prices to unprecedented levels, " said Patrick Ryan, co-founder of Eventellect, a Houston-based ticket distribution company. "Cowboys fans were willing to take the risk of buying tickets and their team not making it because of the uncertainty of what would happen if they did make it."

Dallas has always been hottest commodity.. i blame Jerry for not playing the game like Mara and Goodell as far as on the field is concerned. The fact they are still going after Zeke is absurd.. the Giants kicker has multiple incidents of domestic abuse, the whole Giants squad was smoking reefers in Miami and the Steelers dude was failing drug tests..

i mean he pretty much killed his relationship with the NFL when he sued them back in the 90s.

And they are following his path now after the suit, because it's making them money, Jerry was robbed that non-penalty salary cap year.

It's Jerry's fault from my perspective..

He and Snyder should have sued them during that uncapped year, but didn't to save the league. He needs to start throwing his weight around when it comes to his team instead of worrying about the Rams and Raiders relocating to other cities.
