On Tuesday, Denver Broncos punter Britton Colquitt revealed he had to make an extra-special purchase for this Super Bowl 50 thing he’ll be a part of on Sunday night. That purchase is in the form of another $1,800 ticket for his newborn baby.

“There’s no age limit to tickets. It’s $1800 for our week-old daughter we just had. It’s kind of crazy,” Colquitt said. “You won’t remember, but I’m paying for it. It’s not about the money because with the tickets you end up kind of forfeiting your Super Bowl check. It’s about the medal I guess and the memories and putting your name in history forever.”

I'm sure players have a chance to get them at face value instead of getting ripped off at StubHub.

I thought players were allotted a certain number of tickets for friends and family? Still lame he has to buy one for a week-old child (especially since she'll probably sleep a lot anyway. :tongue:) It's not like his wife's gonna put her in a stadium seat when she can't even hold up her head.

Maybe he already ran through his allotment, abs want thinking that he would have to pay for her. Should have just put the baby under her jacket, and when questioned, said they are having triplets, and she is ready to pop.

Fair point. Except the part about sticking a week-old baby under a jacket; that's, um... not a good plan....

Players are alloted tickets which they must pay for. They are only allowed a certain number and they pay for eachn one they want.

The cheapest ticket on Stub Hub right now is $3000. It's going up about $300 per day; as the good seats and the really cheap seats are all getting bought out.

Hell, my seat is section 124, Row 38; that EQUIVALENT ticket on the other side of the field is $20,000 now! I got mine for $4900. Check out section 145 Row 34. Hey there's still one seat for $250,000 if any of you won the lottery lately?

Maybe he can do it Drew Bree's style once the Broncos win and put a big ol pair of headphones on that kid so it doesn't blow out the ear drums!!

20k now? Yeah I'd sell that shit and buy another one for $3500. You would still get a good seat. That stadium is shaped to wear every angle you can see pretty good.
