EzraYes, it is possible to buy Super Bowl tickets directly from the NFL. Your chances are slim, but every year the NFL distributes approximately 500 pairs of tickets to fans through an annual Super Bowl random drawing. Although many people refer to it as a lottery there is no charge to enter and if you are chosen you will have the opportunity to buy a pair of SuperBowl tickets at face value-typically about $500 each.
The majority of Super Bowl tickets-about 75%-are distributed to the NFL teams with each of the participating teams splitting approximately 35% of all Super Bowl tickets. All teams not playing in the Super Bowl will receive just over 1%, and the team hosting the Super Bowl receives about 9% of the Super Bowl tickets. The remaining 25% of SuperBowl tickets are controlled by the NFL and are distributed primarily to NFL affiliated companies, the network broadcasting the Super Bowl, corporate sponsors, media, VIPs, charities, fans and the Host Committee to package with sponsorships.
If you are interested in taking your chances with the annual Super Bowl random drawing, the NFL's only method of selling Super Bowl tickets to the general public, you must follow the NFL's guidelines exactly. Requests for the random drawing are accepted between February 1st and June 1st of each year preceding the game and all Super Bowl ticket requests must be sent via certified or registered mail to:
Super Bowl Random Drawing
P.O. Box 49140
Strongsville, OH 44149-0140
Applicants must put their name and address on their request and send only one per household-duplicate requests are discarded. Over the summer acknowledgements are sent out and the SuperBowl ticket drawing is held in October. Everyone who entered the Super Bowl ticket lottery will be notified at that time of the drawing. No, there are no complimentary tickets available.
Look for specially marked wrappers of the KING SIZE SNICKERS bars. The back of the wrapper will say CHOMPION and on the front right side of the wrapper will mention WIn the Super Bowl Instantly. There is a code inside the wrapper that will indicate if you are an instant winner. If not enter the code online for another chance to win and smaller prizes as well. I have already won a SUper Bowl Score Board to track the teams.
