Depending on where your seats were, tickets to the 2025 Super Bowl were around $8,400 on average, with a range of around $6,500 to $23,000. A father with one child must decide to take that child to this important NFL event, or buy a brand new Nissan Versa. A family of four at the Super Bowl? You could instead pay cash for a brand new Honda HR-V — an SUV that would easily accommodate 4 people — with enough money left over to take a vacation.
If you opt for a car, you don’t get to see the halftime show live.
I’m too old to appreciate some of the more recent halftime shows, and not too dumb to realize that others love them. While I’m here in 2025 thinking that the halftime entertainment should be more like 2001 where many music genres were represented…
Or the year Prince sang Purple Rain — in the rain! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lElCzhjiPX8) Neither of which my Momma or her generation would’ve likely appreciated any more than I appreciated the 2025 halftime show.
And of course, there are others that simply don’t care who is performing at the Super Bowl.
Now you know: Michael Jackson was booked to perform at halftime in 1993 and his performance got higher ratings than the game itself.
