They say good things come to those who wait. I say BS to that. I've been holding out for tickets and am now down to one last chance and that's not looking very promising. So, i guess i won't be attending the biggest game in Cardinals history :sad:. It's probably my own fault. I've had offers to get in on tickets but i though for sure that i would get some either at face value, or even free. That's pretty much been the case at every major sporting event i've been to the last 4-5 years. 2005 World Series,4 freebies, 2006 Final Four, free again,2003 Masters,nothing, 2000 Nat'l champ game, no cost, Cards/Panthers, come on down. Cards/Eagles, face value.I guess i got a little spoiled.

My last chance is DRC. My best buddy is a lawyer in Bradenton and repping DRC's best friend. He's got a call into DRC(footing the bill for his bud) about tickets,but i can't see that working out. There's still always Ebay but it's getting late in the game.

Cbus, if you've gotten in the rest for free, buy the damn tickets and spend some dough if you can! you CAN'T MISS THIS GAME if you can afford to go. You KNOW that.

I have attended a number of SB games...unbelievably after waiting 49 years I cannot attend this year...anyway IF you really want to go and have a little gambling blood in you, go down to the game and you will have a great shot at face value about an hour or less before the game...walk around outside the stadium and you will find a whole lot of folks looking to unload tickets....I have NEVER seen this fail at the game....ever!!!

I have heard it over and over again:

near game time, the prices come down quickly

after kick off -- tickets go for face

its an act of faith and takes some huevos.....

No offense intended, but listening to all of the players interviewed, the biggest stress and distraction these guys go through is tickets and ticket requests. Apparantly, it causes some real problems for these guys. Isn't this just adding to the problem?

Did you try Craigslist?

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=super bowl

Make sure you see the tickets before you pony up for them. The words "SUPER BOWL" are die-cut, so you can see through the ticket. There is a holographic sticker on the reverse, upper-left corner. If the ticket has both of those, it's probably valid.

I feel for ya man - hope you can make it!
Craigslist is where the guy tried to scam me.

Just get down there and buy one before kick off. Free is a pipe dream but as a fan you should get it done at face value at kickoff.
