Seats For '10 Pro Bowl To Be Priced Like Wild Card Game For Public
NFL Senior VP/Events Frank Supovitz yesterday said that seats for the '10 Pro Bowl at Dolphin Stadium that "aren't purchased by Miami Dolphins season-ticket holders in a first offering will be priced at the 'scale of a wild-card game' when placed on sale to the general public in October," according to Alex Marvez of FOXSPORTS.com. Supovitz said that most Pro Bowl tickets "will be under $100 and the pricing is less than the cost" for this year's Pro Bowl at Aloha Stadium. The cheapest tickets for last year's Ravens-Dolphins Wild Card game at Dolphin Stadium were $46, but "most cost significantly more than that." Dolphins season-ticket holders "can purchase Pro Bowl seats for the same price as a 2009 home game," which range from $31-105. Marvez noted the NFL "will have to sell roughly 22,000 more tickets for a Dolphin Stadium sell-out compared to 50,000-seat Aloha Stadium," and if the Pro Bowl "isn't sold out before kickoff, it will not be telecast locally in South Florida." Meanwhile, NFL and South Florida officials this week are meeting in Ft. Lauderdale to "continue planning for Super Bowl XLIV and the Pro Bowl." Free "family-friendly festivities, including the NFL's flag-football national championship tournament, will be offered outside the stadium on game day." The NFL also is "expected to add in-stadium festivities, like a pregame celebrity musical appearance to bolster ticket sales." Supovitz: "There will be a lot more (pregame) pageantry" (FOXSPORTS.com, 6/17).
