Super Bowl ticket prices are plummeting
CNN ^ | Mon February 3, 2025 | Jordan Valinsky

The Kansas City Chiefs might make history this weekend, but ticket prices aren’t reflecting that.

The cheapest ticket for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans has fallen below $4,000 on the secondary market, according to reseller TickPick, marking a 30% decline over the past week — and more than 50% cheaper compared to last year’s record-breaking Super Bowl.

The Chiefs, who face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, are hoping to be the first team to win three successive Super Bowl rings. Despite that historic feat on the line, fans apparently aren’t excited to splash out big bucks.

There are a few potential reasons related to this year’s host city — and perhaps a slight dose of Chiefs fatigue.

Last year’s matchup between the Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers was the most expensive Super Bowl on record, partly because it took place in the party mecca of Las Vegas for the first time. However, New Orleans “doesn’t have the same appeal” as Las Vegas, TickPick CEO Brett Goldberg said.

New Orleans’ larger seating capacity is pushing prices lower as well, Goldberg said. The Caesars Superdome holds about 74,000 seats, whereas the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas holds around 65,000 seats. The host city is also still reeling from a terrorist attack last month when a man drove a pickup truck into a crowd and opened fire, killing 14 people and injuring at least 35.

Then there’s the matchup itself. Football fans are bored by a third straight Chiefs Super Bowl bid, resulting in TickPick “seeing less interest from fans looking to attend,” Goldberg told CNN. “Had the Detroit Lions, Washington Commanders or Buffalo Bills made it this far, it’d be a much different story as it relates to current prices.”

90% of those tall skinny models all have had boob jobs.
It is not natural for a woman to have a 24” waist. 34” hips and 36” chest. Women tend to store body fat in their hips and buttocks. Breasts increase in size with pregnancy only.
That is why it is so extremely rare for women to have C cup or larger breasts with a thin waist and small hips/butt. Iys just not the way God made them.

Blind Items Revealed #1

January 19, 2025

After the dollars and eyes on last year’s event, this organization was always intending to make sure the fix was in. They aren’t going to give up all that new money and new viewers from last time. Whether or not it’s obvious that it’s rigged no longer matters.

It’s all about betting now. Totally. The president of ESPN all said as much. Odds are everything. There is no way honesty can prevail with the umpteen billions of dollars and the proliferation of sports betting. College is almost there too.

Like politics, corruption has always been there, not trying to hide it is new.
