Obviously massive longshot but if anyone has any contacts for a ticket I'd be forever indebted. 

Anyone ever been to Miami? Any tips?

The tickets face value start about about 3k, that's without touts getting their profit if you're willing to spend 4k+ you'll get one no problem, NFL do tickets for 4.5k with a 'fan experience' and a free bar.

Face value at 3K?! 

Focking hell. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Yeah, remember doing the paper ballot before and started at 2.3k I think, that was a few years ago now

Opening price during the week was 5k on tout sites, that'll go up or down based on who is in it but fact Pats are gone means more likely to go up

what would a ticket cost for a regular NFL game. 
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Anything from 15 and up depending on the game, 80+ more realistic, best seats would go for a couple hundred but think upper tier has a better view and usually 100 or so

Wow some price at FV significantly more than big UEFA games such as the Champions League final.

Not really a fan and only watch on TV from December on.  I did go to see 2 regular games in the late 90's (@Carolina & @Oakland) and tried without success to see the 49ers.  

The night before we played Portugal in 2014 I paid  Stubhub ~$500 to see game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.  This was within an hour of the start sitting in their office near MSG.  Loads of "fans" arrived in their Rangers gear checking to see if their tickets had sold for their crazy asking price and if not decided to go to the game.  It was a real eye-opener.  Prices dropped as we got close to the start.  

My favourite American sport is baseball.  I've been to loads of games and you can normally get tickets for as cheap as $10.  The good seats can be a few hundred.  Price difference is amazing.  However Americans are much more focussed on good seats than Europeans.  I just buy the cheapest ticket.    

Fans of the competing countries will pay €95 each for the Euro2020 final at Wembley.  I know people who got them for Germany and the Dutch (conditional obviously).  Although Cat 1 is €945 whch I think is insane.

Yeah didn't see that coming. I'm going to continue to underrate them and say they will lose to Chiefs next week.

Chiefs V Seattle/SF/GB superbowl would be lovely

That fake field goal attempt, given the circumstances, was pure crazy. Unreal first half alright but can see Chiefs pulling well clear in second half.

SuperBowl tickets at €3184 on viagogo now, doubt they'll get any cheaper

Cheaper being used in the relative sense

Poor enough weekend of football, usually one of the best weekends of the year, 2 fairly substantial wins. Would much prefer Baltimore V Kansas and Seattle V SF.

Compared to last season when Pats beat KC in a shootout in OT, and the Saints were beaten by the dodgy pass interference call, big letdown.

Glad the right teams won anyway, will be a good SuperBowl matchup.

Yup - definitely the two best teams going at the moment. 49ers probably the better all round team but Mahomes almost certainly the best player in the league. Also him vs that 49ers defence will be very interesting viewing.
 
Should be a class Super Bowl.
