An invitation from the NFL On Location unit has been issued for 700 fans to buy an “Exclusive Postgame On-Field Experience” after Super Bowl XLIV on 7 February at Dolphin Stadium. But these tickets are quite expensive. Individual ticket prices run from $5,749 to $9,799 that will depend on seat location. For that amount, customers will get their game ticket, four nights of hotel room, pregame and postgame parties, preferred parking and some other goodies. Access of the Super Bowl field is usually restricted to players and their families, TV crews and league staff. But the NFL is now trying to get a bigger part of the hospitality market.

Here is how it works, according to the league’s senior vice president of events Frank Supovitz. Fifteen minutes after the trophy presentation of Vince Lombardi, the 700 fans will be cycled by the league into the field. Each fan is entitled about 30 minutes. They can watch while TV reporters’ conduct interviews with game stars and players celebrate with their wives and kids. The postgame scene will last all night. There is a lot of time of live TV. There are players with their families with a considerable amount of time for drinking in the experience.
The regular ticket prices for the Super Bowl XLIV in Miami will be $500, $800, $900 and $1,000.

In February, Florida will be hosting its third Super Bowl in four years at Land Shark Stadium in Miami Gardens. One week before the event, the stadium will be used for the Pro Bowl of National Football League in its first mainland U.S. appearance in 35 years. The Pro Bowl will be returning to Hawaii in 2011 and 2012. Rodney Barreto is the leader of the South Florida Super Bowl XLIV Committee Group CEO. He says that they are still working on the private sponsorships. They are working with all government partners to ensure that all three counties will look right. There is a lot of work behind-the-scenes to make sure road construction will not be a problem, streets opened up and landscaping is in place.

An estimate of $400 million will be generated. An additional 40,000 people will be drawn by the Super Bowl who has no intention of going to the game and the stadium can hold 75,000. The city will probably spend around $15 million on a Super Bowl, between the cash and in-kind that will be raised. The host committee will provide the hotels of the two visiting teams.
