Superbowl XLII is in 3 days. The New York Giants will take on the unbeaten New England Patriots in Arizona. Earlier today I decided to see how much it would cost to see the two teams square off and to be entertained at half time by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Two tickets will sell on eBay for anywhere between $4000-$10,000, not exactly pocket change.

At Stubhub the price range was even wider. From $2000-$12,000. $2000, might be do-able for the Superbowl, but don’t expect to get good seats at that price.

So, discouraged I thought to myself, “I have to make my mark on Superbowl XLII, how can I do it? Ah yes, I can advertise on TV during the game!! Brilliant.” (Due to this being a blog post I will tell you I say that with a great deal of sarcasm.)

$2.7 Million is the going rate for a 30 second ad during the big game, looks like I’ll have to stick to spam for a while to promote ZachBon.com. Haha…
