Football uber Alles 0
Many years ago, one of my coworkers went out for dinner with a member of my company in the Left Coast office.
He ended up getting stuck with the bill for a bottle of Dom Perignon.
His comment afterwards was quite a propos: “I don’t care how good it is. No champagne is worth $35.00 a glass.” (As I said, it was a long time ago.)
I would say that that comment applies to this football ticket:
The couple paid $100 each for seats in the upper deck, far less than the current lowest price of $337 for one ticket, according to TiqIQ, an aggregator of the ticket resale market. Prices range as high as $5,747 for a seat in the front row of the stadium’s mezzanine section as of Nov. 28, according to TiqIQ data.
Figuring a playing time of 60 minutes, not counting commercials, that’s $350.00 a minute.
I can think of a few things I’d be willing to pay $350.00 a minute for, and large people running into each other at high speed is not one of them.
It’s only game, folks.
And a corrupt and crooked one at that.
