Travel Secrets: Scoring Super Bowl Tickets & Hotel For NEXT Year

You don't necessarily have to know someone to score Super Bowl tickets for next year in Arizona.  But you do have to be willing to spend a few thousand dollars to buy a package that includes a hotel room, game tickets, preferred parking, parties and other perks.

A few years ago, the NFL began offering packages aimed at corporate buyers that wrap all those goodies up into one deal.  This past Super Bowl, there were six different offers ranging in price from $4,299 to $9,949.  While the packages are generally aimed at corporate big-spenders (the web site CareerBuilder.com bought more than 100 of the most expensive packages, for example), there's nothing preventing an individual from buying, as well.  As of this writing, the NFL web site has not posted details on pacakges for '08.  However, you may call the offices of NFL On Location at 212-655-5665 for information.

Footnote: There are other premium-event sport packages, as well, on offer from companies that specialize in putting together sports getaway packages.  Two companies worth checking out are RazorGater Experiences and Premier Sports Travel.
