Article Summary
Based on resale prices for tickets for the 2013 Super Bowl in New Orleans, face-value prices for the most expensive tickets to the 2014 game are expected to more than double, with significant price increases for lesser-valued tickets as well. Evidence indicates that sports teams are more interested in maximizing attendance instead of ticket revenue, since greater attendance means more spending on items such as parking and concessions. Higher ticket prices in secondary markets seem to verify that teams are charging less than they could be if their goal was to maximize ticket revenue.
