Still dreaming of watching the Broncos and Seahawks play live next Sunday? Ticket prices for the cheapest seats at MetLife Stadium have now dropped to $1,500 on some resale sites, The Record reports.

Tony Kopp says the myth that Super Bowl XLVIII will produce astronomical ticket prices — "all this talk about New York being the most expensive ticket" — has been debunked.

"It will be interesting to see where it bottoms out," said Kopp, co-founder of Spotlight TMS, a ticket analysis firm based in California.

The stadium in East Rutherford, which will host the NFL's first outdoor, cold weather Super Bowl, has 82,500 seats.

On average, football fans have shelled out $2,505 per ticket, according to SeatGeek's ticket analysis. A week before the prior three Super Bowls, ticket purchase prices averaged between $2,980 to $3,396, Connor Gregoire, a spokesman for SeatGeek, told the Record.

Lance Patania, a Glen Rock-based broker who has been selling upper-deck tickets for $1,600, said most Denver and Seattle fans have likely secured tickets and booked hotels. The second week, he says, is when locals start snapping up tickets — and one crucial variable will drive demand.

"The weather forecast has everything to do with it at this juncture," he said in the report.

The club seats at MetLife Stadium, which provide access to both a seat in the stadium and access to a private, heated lounge, go for $7,250, the report says.
