Capitalism At Its Finest |
|
|
Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Thu Feb 5 12:13:32 2026 Care to make out to the Super Bowl??Bring your American Express card and any other plastic you might have. Some sample prices: Top ticket price is $30,000 a seat on the secondary market. Cheapest: $4,000, and you are sitting with the seagulls. Average hotel room cost in the San Francisco area is $2,300 a night, up from the usual $500. No wonder there are legions of homeless. Driving to the stadium, around $250 to park. Want a beer? $12 a cup. Yikes. So, the gouge is on, but people will pay it, and that’s the hallmark of a free marketplace. There will never be a Super Bowl in China or Russia. Only in America, the land of opportunity. And, unfortunately, price gouging. And thats not counting how much $$$ will be spent and lost with the legal and illegal gambling that goes on. I'm hearing that box pools are going for $10K box down in and around Wall Street offices and saloons. Yep, Money talks and it will be screaming on Sunday! |

It's what the market can bear!People (including Hizzoner) complain that the upcoming World Cup is too expensive so that fans can't attend. Well, that's what happens when you have a popular event and not enough room to accommodate everyone who wants to attend. |

Food is cheap and bed and breakfast is a good deal. Best deal are the TV seats with perfect views and instant replay. Of course, if you ste like me, still pissed about players taking a knee for colin, who gives a fuck, anyway |

Few of those guys are even in the league anymore. There’s always going to be a core of stars that last but the league cycles in new players every year. The quality of football is just dreadful at this point in time. I doubt it will improve either. |
