How are game tickets distributed?
The demand for tickets to Super Bowl XLIII greatly exceeds the NFL’s ability to accommodate the majority of fans interested in attending the game. The vast majority of Super Bowl tickets (approximately 75%) are distributed to the 32 NFL teams. The participating teams each receive 17.5% of the tickets, the non-participating teams receive 1.2% and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as the host team, will receive 5%. The remaining 25.2% are controlled by the NFL and are distributed primarily to NFL affiliated companies, the broadcast network, corporate sponsors, media, VIP’s charities, fans and the Host Committee. DUH!
Are tickets sold to the general public?
The NFL distributes approximately 1% of the tickets to fans through an annual Super Bowl random drawing. The drawing is not considered a lottery (there is no charge to enter). This is the NFL’s only method of distributing tickets to the general public. The NFL does not sell tickets to travel or ticket agents. DUH!
Requests for the random drawing are accepted between February 1st and June 1st of each year, preceding the game. For Super Bowl XLIII the drawing will be in 2008. All entries must include name, address, phone number and email address, and must be sent via certified or registered mail. Requests for tickets to Super Bowl XLIII, to be played February 1, 2009 in Tampa, Florida, will be accepted beginning Feb. 1, 2008. You will be notified by mail in October or November if you are eligible to purchase Super Bowl XLIII tickets.
Requests should be sent to:

ROFL! While I like about 4 minutes of football (and yes I understand the game just fine) I never have any desire to watch the Super Bowl. I always prefer the Pro Bowl. Go figure.

I thought it was a great Superbowl this year… and Tampa did a great job. I was hoping Arizona would win though… oh well… even so, it was an exciting game and Bruce did an excellent job also… I wish every Superbowl could be like this one.
