'Cause it's never too early for wishes

[PanthersATL]

From one of the many sports travel vendors out there selling ticket packages for Super Bowl 50, here are some sample ticket prices:

 (sidebar: I hate that the NFL decided to use "50" instead of the traditional roman number "L"; George Carlin would agree, since "FOOTBALL IS PLAYED IN A STADIUM. WAR MEMORIAL STADIUM.  baseball is played in a park. a baseball park. weeeeee!")

3 nights hotel way way out of town (transportation to game included) + ticket and "pregame bash" (a $315 value): starts at $6695 per person

4 nights high-end hotel smack in the middle of SF's financial district (the good part of town), plus ticket and Steve Young hosted pre-game party (a $675 value by itself) will run you $7475 and up.

Tickets to pre-game party and game, no hotel needed? You're looking around $4300.

My plan to save some $$ if I were to head out that way, would be to hang out in town Thurs/Fri/Sat and then fly back on an early Sun flight to be home for the 6p kickoff and watch it on TV.  And I'd do the Taste of the NFL event on Sat night.  Been to a previous one on comp tickets, and it was FANTASTIC.   holy crap, though - tickets are $700 each???   May have to rethink the feasibility of my idea

I may have to look into selling a kidney.

Wow, never realized how expensive they were.  Unbelievably, my buddy from Charlotte is a finalist (one of four) for the Courtyard Marriott contest that would win him an all expenses trip for four (myself included) to the game.  Vote here for Greg Baskwell (you may recognize his dog videos) to send some Panthers fans to SF!

Powerball ticket....$2.  As close as I will get.

As a second generation hippie... Going to San Francisco and the area is one place I've always wanted to go. And now a possible SB appearance? I need a miracle and a hit. A lottery hit.

Stay in Vegas and fly to San Francisco on game day. Cheapest way to do it.

Frisco is nice, only problem is it's filled with NoCals.

Do they still do the lottery thing for PSL owners to get tickets? Looks like that's my only shot

I've got a cousin that just moved to SF and several Panther Super Bowl/Cam MVP bets that pay over 2.5k....makes it interesting.

I wonder how much nosebleed section tickets are?
