Super Bowl 2015 News: Cheapest Tickets Are Now Available For $9,000 For Patriots Vs Seahawks Game? [VIDEO]
If you're still looking for a ticket to Sunday night's big game, you might be in luck. That is, if you have a couple grand to burn.
To see the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks in the flesh, the cheapest ticket is going to set you back $9,205. According to ESPN on Friday, ticket site StubHub.net had 20 tickets available for around $10,000.
What's more, the site also says that selling Super Bowl tickets has become a lucrative business for some, as some brokers "short" tickets, meaning they do not disclose exactly where the seats are until a few days before the game.

Brokers sell their tickets at high prices but don't buy the actual seats until prices start going down.
"Everyone in the business had seen that shorting had been the right move," one broker told the site. "For the last five years it had been that way. Everyone was sort of sketched out by Packers. That the ticket could cost a lot of money closer to the game. So the Seahawks win and everyone is undercutting each other just to be able to offer the lowest-price ticket available."
It's also been reported that this year's game hasn't really seen any real supply and demand for tickets.
"A consolidation of supply this year has led to a handful of sellers being able to manipulate the market and make it nearly impossible for last-minute fans to go to the game," StubHub spokesman Glenn Lehrman told ESPN.
Apparently, one anonymous company paid $200,000 for a block of 40 tickets on the Patriots' side by the 30-yard line last week. As of Friday afternoon, the company was offered $600,000 to sell those tickets.
