Super Bowl packages are the usual way that people purchase tickets to see the NFL championship game every year. But what if there was another way to purchase tickets? And what if you could get those tickets at face value, have I gotten your attention, yet?
All-inclusive trips are frequently very, very expensive. Between the air fare, hotel accommodations, ground transportation, and most important of all, the actual Super Bowl tickets, these packages can easily set you back well over $5,000 per person, double occupancy. But what if there was another way to get tickets to the NFL championship game. And what if you were able to obtain these tickets at face value, and without having to pay exorbitant fees through tour organizers for the Super Bowl packages? Are you interested? It is easy to attempt to obtain these tickets for face value, but not easy to secure. However, it is certainly worth it to try.
How can you obtain Super Bowl tickets without having to purchase expensive Super Bowl packages? I will tell you. It is very easy, you just mail a letter and hope you’re your letter gets selected. Every year, the National Football League puts a certain number of tickets for the Super Bowl up for sale to the general public. The potential ticet buyers are selected via a random drawing. Those who are lucky enough to have their name selected are then given the opportunity to purchase up to two tickets to the next upcoming Super Bowl game.
If you are interested in trying to obtain tickets, I suggest that you follow theses easy, straightforward steps:
Write a Letter
Write a letter to the NFL stating that you would like to be considered as a potential buyer for tickets to the upcoming Super Bowl. In the letter, you will need to include your name, address, telephone number, and your email address.
Address the Letter
Prepare the letter for mailing. Address your envelope to:
Super Bowl Random Drawing
P.O. Box 49140
Strongsville, OH 44149-0140
Mail the Letter
Take your envelope to your post office, and then mail it to the above mentioned address using certified or registered mail.
Easy, right? You are not guaranteed of securing tickets, but what do you have to lose? Just a bit of time and the cost of the postage – probably about $4.00.
There are a few very minor rules and regulations that you must adhere to. Your letter cannot be sent today. All requests for tickets must be postmarked during the period of February 1 through June 1 of each year for the subsequent Super Bowl game. This means that you are too late to try to secure tickets for Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, FL. For this game, you will need to go look into Super Bowl packages if you want to attend.
Other rules and requirements indicate that all entries must be sent postal service via certified or registered mail. Do not waste your money sending multiple entries to try to increase your chances of winning. Only submit one entry. Any duplicate submissions will just be ignored. Also, any submissions that do not adhere to these basic rules will be discarded.
