Should your account be selected through the lottery, the credit card provided will automatically be charged for two (2) Super Bowl LI game tickets, which will range in price between $900-$1100 per ticket (face value as set by the NFL). Your card will automatically be registered for the higher price though you may be charged for the lower price based on the actual seat assignment. Seats will be assigned in pairs, randomly (seating information listed through your online account is only processing information, actual locations are not assigned unless selected as a winner). You must pick up your Super Bowl LI game tickets at NFL Will Call at NFL Super Bowl Headquarters, Embassy Suites Houston-Downtown prior to Super Bowl Sunday with a government ID (dates and location to be provided). Name changes are not permitted, no exceptions. Tickets must be picked up by the Season Ticket Holder of record.
 
Cheryl.......you gotsta pay if'n you wantsta play. In this case it's range in price is between $900-$1100 per ticket. Makes no nevermind to them.

So, literally you could be paying $900.00 for an "obstructed" seat(s). Oh and quite possibly right next to an obnoxious trash can. All that aside, cpollock I truely wish you best tickets and experience possible. Blessings your way.

PS please send us some accounting of your trip if possible. Thank you



Salute the nation
 
I think the bigger issue is that it seems, regardless of where you live, you have to go to Houston to get the tickets. I suppose you would go down early, anyway, but what if you couldn't?

Think this is to hamper reselling?

Absolutely. In theory, this is a good move by the NFL to put the tickets in the hands of actual season-ticket holders at face value. However, there's something special about getting that delivery at your door with tickets and it makes it a bit inconvenient to have to go to their will call.
 
Well I don't think I am even think I am going to enter into the lottery .. Hell the last time I won tickets from the Steelers .. The seats were not built correctly and were closed down... We are still in litigation over that....

Is the lottery competed before this weekend? If so, you win tickets and your team doesn't make it, you can't sell the tickets?
 
You only get the tickets if your team wins this weekend

What if you took his ID? Doubtful anyone would want to be without their ID for a couple days just wondering in theory.

Yeah but the problem lies in the fact my season tickets are in my dad's name. Therefore Dan has to pick them up and show his ID not Justin

Name change or fake ID. I'm pretty sure the out of state license recognition will be pretty lax in Texas

you cannot count on that especially when you shell out $2200 for tickets ..
 
I think Coolies deal seems ok.. lol but you would have to sit by coolie,, :hitit:

Best solution is have your dad hand over his I.D. Make yourself look like him and go get tickets.

But yes this is bullshit. I'd be pissed too Cheryl and Twinkie.
 
The other thing they changed is that you are only allowed 2 lowB repuS tickets per account. If you have 2 season tickets you get a chance for 2 tickets in the lowB repuS lottery. If you have 6- 8 season tickets you only get 2, in the past if you had 6-8 season tickets you would get you a chance for 4 SB tickets. This really screws over families.

I also have a hard time believing that all of these corporations with tons of season tickets are only going to be entitled to two tickets.

So if the Steelers don't make the game, you are locked into 1000 dollar tickets you don't really want and you cannot ditch them, even though everyone else ditches theirs on NFL ticket exchange all the time. Sounds fair.
