Crazy about the Superbowl

Planning to travel to the Superbowl?

Wilder's company can get you there, place you in a hotel and get you a ticket - but it's not cheap. Sleeping four to a room will cost about $3,900 apiece; single rooms will run around $5,400 for a three-night stay.

Doing it on your own might be cheaper but could end in disaster. Last year people payed as much as $2,500.00 for fake tickets. Who knew you couldn't trust scalpers on the street?

Also last year, other fans flew to Texas but couldn't find any ticket for under $1,000.00.

If it were my thousand dollars I'd rather take a little trip to Europe; Tickets from JFK to major cities like Rome, Paris and London are often quite reasonable. If we were talking 5,400 (the single room price I quoted) or in that area, I think my wife and I managed 9 weeks in Italy for about that much each.

The moral is that if you have to watch the superbowl, watch it on TV. Unless you're one of those people who has too much money, or the kind of person who hates traveling to Europe.
