Awesome Tshirt... sorry about all the rest though
Got that for sure Bull! Have a good weekend :)
Too bad. YA will just have to find a nice BIG flatscreen to watch the game on. Go BEARS!!!
Hey Guys! Sorry I've been MIA this week...total drama got a ticket to Chicago and then my sisters screwed me out of a game ticket..my brother called me yesterday and scored 2 tix somewhere near the 50 yard line but I already cancelled my flight so not too happy...however I got my new game t-shirt in the mail today and it says "PUCK DA FACKERS" :) So I figured worst case if it doesn't work out on Sunday for the Bears then I can wear the shirt for the superbowl too ha!! Have fun all!
awesome read.. thanks man... really looking forward to this weekend.
Web here is a good article for ya...
With the Steelers and three other teams in the running, Super Bowl XLV will be the most expensive ticket in NFL history. Should Steelers fans get a chance to see the team go for a seventh Lombardi trophy, they will see ticket prices with face values higher than ever, not to mention that charged by resale services and scalpers.
Not that Steelers fans are jinxing themselves. Jets fans are confidently buying up tickets for Sunday's matchup, and they and Packers fans are booking the most flights for Dallas.
Any combination of the four teams left in the Super Bowl hunt will seriously inflate Super Bowl ticket prices, given the historic roots of two of the league's oldest teams in the Bears and Packers, the way Rex Ryan has conjured Joe Namath's braggadocio with the Jets, and the unparalleled success and popularity of the Steelers.
The highest-priced ticket at reseller StubHub has already gone for $11,000, or almost 10 times the face value to the most expensive seats at the Feb. 6 game.
The league also expects a record 5,000-plus requests for media credentials to the game. Wide interest in the four franchises, Dallas hosting its first Super Bowl, and the growing online and worldwide coverage of the sport are all factors, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said.
Tremors are already coming from the sales to Sunday's championship games.
At StubHub, tickets to the Jets-Steelers game are selling for an average of $410, with an equal number of seats being sold to fans in Pennsylvania as those in New Jersey and New York, suggesting a large number of Jets fans in attendance. It already marks the second-highest sales to any NFL conference championship in the online company's 10-year history -- beat out only by the Bears-Packers game, which begins 31/2 hours earlier.
The long rivalry between the NFC North teams and their proximity -- Chicago is two hours south of the Packers fan base in Milwaukee -- has led to an average StubHub ticket price there Thursday of $704. At the league's official resale site, NFL Ticket Exchange, seats were going for between $343 and $7,500.
The Steelers are part of the same online resale system and have seen "a ton of demand" for seats at Heinz Field, said team spokesman Dave Lockett. A surprising amount of Jets fans are trying to get into the game, said former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, who will be part of the CBS broadcast crew Sunday.
"I didn't realize there were so many Jets fans -- well, they're New York fans -- but how many people, just in my neighborhood, that are going to drive to Pittsburgh to watch the game," Mr. Simms said, "because they want to go down there and try to buy tickets and be part of it."
On the local scalper market, sales have been greater only for the first AFC Championship game in Heinz Field against the Patriots in January 2002, said one experienced broker who asked not to be identified. He expected forecasts for chilly weather Sunday to shake loose a lot of tickets in the hours before the 6:30 p.m. kickoff.
The Steelers front office is used to organizing for the playoffs and the Super Bowl -- the team has won it two out the last six years -- and as usual sold playoff seats to season ticket holders before the regular season ended.
It has done the same with Super Bowl ticket rights. On Tuesday the team conducted a computerized lottery for Super Bowl seats and notified winners Thursday.
To get into the lottery, season ticket holders had to put down $800 per ticket plus a $30 handling fee. Should the team beat the Jets, the tickets will be issued in the middle of next week. (Mr. Lockett would not say how many of the tickets the team receives are reserved for its seat-license holders. Every team is required to use a lottery system of some kind for ticket distribution, said Mr. McCarthy, the league's spokesman.)
Face value seat prices for Super Bowl XLV outside Dallas start at $600 and top out at $1,200 for club seats. (Some $350 standing room only seats and $200 tickets to watch the game outside Cowboys Stadium also will be available).
On the official NFL Ticket Exchange site, they are already going for $3,126 for an upper-deck ticket to $16,480 for a field-level club box seat.
They are going for an average of $3,226 on StubHub -- close to the average for the Giants-Patriots game in 2008 -- but the prices may go down once more tickets hit the market next week.
"We will likely see a beneficial shift in the market for fans and constant fluctuation," said spokeswoman Joellen Ferrer. "All four teams still in the mix boast widespread, strong fan bases that will absolutely travel to Dallas for the big game."
At the online travel site Expedia, bookings to Dallas/Fort Worth International airport are twice as high as usual from New York and Milwaukee, said spokesman Dave McNamee, showing a lot of interest from Jets and Packers fans. Pittsburgh bookings are up slightly and those from Chicago are down slightly.
Hotel reservations in North Texas are currently in a holding pattern while fans wait to see the final matchup, said Jay Burress, the president and CEO of the Arlington Convention & Visitors Bureau.
The Dallas/Fort Worth area has about 100,000 hotel rooms -- double that of the greater Tampa area, host to the Super Bowl in 2009 -- and while many rooms are gobbled up by the league, up to 20,000 are still available in the greater vicinity of the stadium.
Each team playing in the Super Bowl will be allocated 17.5 percent of the roughly 100,000 seats in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. The Cowboys will get 5 percent and the remaining 29 teams will get 1.2 percent of the seats. The league distributes the other 25.2 percent.
All the matchups this weekend, said Mr. Lockett, the Steelers spokesman, have "great interest, great teams and great fan bases. Ours are right there at the top."
I'm with ya on that one - I got too many friends who are Steelers & Pack fans! After having an incredible time at the New Meadowlands, I gotta say... Go Jets!
I Cant F'n wait!!!... so much good football Sunday. As someone on ESPN said last sunday, talking about the final 4 that are left... "Any possible combination of the remaining 4 will be a superbowl worth watching."
I personally would like to see Jets Bears superbowl
Hump day is over. Will be Kick-Off time soon! GO BEARS!!!
Have fun no matter what you decide to do. I will be inside my warm apartment watching LOL!!
im sure it will be darn close.... wont get to see the Pack Bears tho.....would be tailgating at that time.... last week we started at 12:30.....so im sure this week would be around 2:30...
Damn dude, I wouldnt know what to do about the tickets either.... im hoping fora good game either way.. and if the Jets lose to Pitt.. I'll be rooting for Pit.
Web.... you and I will have to be enemies Sunday night..... ;) Go Steelers.... have my ticket for the game, but it is damn tempting to sell it.... they say even the crappiest tix are going for around 300 already, and the most expensive box seats are going for 10,000...
Thanks for the DD heads up!
How bout them Jets.. wild game.. Gratz on the Bears as well.. have fun at the game next week =)
JBII CC -- A FEW TIDBITS OF INTEREST:
(1) JBII = first in New York history to have a factory be allowed to run full blown commercial operations while awaiting a solid waste permit.
(2) Fuel quality has been tested and certified by InterTek and Petrolab.
(3) Costs are dirt cheap.
--$30/ton for residue ($12 per day or .50 per hour)
--off gas fuels the system. Worst case is $7/hour to run. $5/hour electricity at most.
--two employees to run TWO machines at $25/hour each
--plastic free (obviously)
--grand total $37.50 per hour per machine ($7.50 per barrel?)
(4) JBII processes plastic that would be otherwise sent to the landfill. (examples -- car parts, agricultural film, carpet shavings, product packaging which are all industrial plastics) <~~~~plastics that are NOT recycled due to additives or contaminates (mixed plastics). JBII processes plastics that industrial customers pay to send to the landfill. JBII is not interested in any plastics that have any market value and/or have to pay for. They basically spelled it out -- their feedstock is either dirt cheap, free, or paid to take it.
(5) Emissions are less than that of a natural gas furnace.
(6) Competitive "attempts" have all been a miserable failure. Low fuel value, high cost of energy, explosion risk, $6 million+ expensive investments. The NY DEC has nicknamed other competitive "pyrolysis" attempts prior to JBII as "paralysis"
(7) Undergoing a full and final environmental audit with Waste Management, Inc. to bring them on board.
