Talk is cheap, Super Bowl isn't: Goodell thinks you can afford $500 tickets
The average family of John, Jane, Sue and Joseph decides to go to the Super Bowl.
Already their bank account has taken a hit for at least $2,000. And that's if they're one of the 1,000 lucky ones who can get a $500 ticket.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell didn't seem fazed by the prices when asked by the New York Daily News about the cost an average fan doles out for the big game.
When asked if he felt the average fan was being priced out of attending the Super Bowl, Goodell suggested the $500 price point, along with the league's commitment to not allowing fans to transfer those tickets on the secondary market, has kept the game within reach for fans.
Obviously, $500 is an easier buy than tickets that jump over $1,000, but that doesn't mean $500 is affordable for the average football fan. To this, Goodell gave the ultimate pick-me-up.
"What’s the average fan?" Goodell told the Daily News. "We don’t have average fans. We have great fans. We have fans that are passionate."
Passionate, if not rich.
So when the Daily News gave its explanation that an average fan means the average fan in economic terms, Goodell said ...
"I still don’t know what that is."
No, Goodell, you probably don't.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average U.S. family of four brings in $67,000 annually. That's before taxes, rent, mortgage, food and all those fun necessities.
A family of four pays, on average, close to $400 to attend a regular season NFL game when factoring in tickets ($81 on average), parking (regular season average $31) and concessions (average $5 for a soft drink and $5 for a bottom-of-the-pan basic hot dog). That number is sure to be vastly higher at the Super Bowl, especially given the New York/New Jersey location.
So with everything taken into account, John and Jane would be spending at minimum their entire bi-weekly $2,577 paycheck to take their family to the game.
Ah, no biggie.
