Cheap seats anything but at the Super Bowl

This final note is about football. Nope, not about all that Richard Sherman hubub. C’mon people, this is a business show.

We’re talking about ticket prices for the Superbowl.

If you’re a Broncos or Seahawks fan and want to check out the big game in New Jersey on February 2, you better start saving now. The cheapest ticket options right now are $2,500 on StubHub. For $200 more, you can pick a pair up on the NFL’s second-hand marketplace.

What do you get for that price? Good ol’ fashion nosebleed seats at the Meadowlands.

We prefer the couch. It’s free, mighty comfortable and the nachos are better.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you.
