Enter The Super Bowl Ticket Lottery and You Can Buy Super Bowl Tickets for Face Value!

Most football fans are completely unaware of the ticket lottery held each year by the National Football League.

This drawing, which is free to enter, is the only way the NFL distributes Super Bowl tickets to the general public.

Unfortunately, in an effort to keep the number of entries low, and thus the odds better, the NFL doesn’t promote this drawing at all. In fact you have to do some serious searching on the NFL website just to find this information. However, for those who know about it you have a chance to buy your tickets directly from the NFL.

Do you know what buying directly from the NFL means? Besides the assurance that you are getting genuine tickets, you will only pay FACE VALUE!

That’s right. Unlike other sellers who offer their tickets with a hefty premium or markup, the NFL only charges face value.

That's the good news. The bad news is we really don't know how many tickets the NFL distributes via this "drawing", but it's pretty low. Also, the seats aren't premium by any means. They're end zone, but still for face value it's a great opportunity.

So how do you get in on this great opportunity? You need to send a written request including your name, address, and phone number via registered or certified mail to:


The NFL only accepts these requests between Feb. 1 and June 1 of the year preceding the game you would like to see, so advance planning is critical. If your request is chosen, you'll be notified around October.
