out of curiosity, how much of a home game will the SB be if the Vikes get to it, yes they have their locker room and the field, but how much of the corporate crowd will be screaming their heads off for the Vikes? How many die hards that blow the roof off that place will be able to shell out the $4000 bucks per seat and make it a real home game?
I wonder how ticket prices will be impacted. They were debating it this morning on the radio and the opinion was that prices will go UP instead of down. If this all came together, I'd love to go. But that won't be the case if tix are even more expensive.
i have no doubt that demand will increase for a home team superbowl no matter where it takes place, but especially for a starved franchise like the Vikes. Unless the Chiefs make it with the Vikes I am resigned to watch it on TV. ( I have been pondering getting a group and doing a hotel party near the cities if the Vikes were to make it so we could then head down town after the game for the sure to happen all night party in the streets.)
I believe every team gets for the season ticket holders 7.5%of the tickets but the hosting team gets another 30%for ofthe tickets for the season ticket holders if this is true that is why I heard prices could rise if the Vikings r in the superb owl to over 6000 each .since the price to the season ticket holders is the normal price . Very few of those would be expected to be available

its up to the teams to decide how they allocate their tickets.
breakdown for the game is
participating teams each get 17.5% of stadium capacity
host team gets 5% ( if the host team is playing that 5% is split with other participating team)
the other 29 teams each get 1.2%
and the NFL retains 25.2% for their own distribution to league sponsors and VIPS.
interestingly enough, USBank holds 66,665 for Vikings games, but they claim that they will have seating for 73,000 for the superbowl.... where the hell they going to stack the extra 6000 plus people? i can see setting up some extra bleachers here and there, but we are talking about in increase of nearly 10%!

Yep. And the league worked a deal with "NFL On Location" . A portion of the participating team's tickets (6,000) now go to NFL On Location where they are packaged with hotel, food and entertainment options and then sold. So, you can buy them but it's the more expensive full packages instead of just the tickets.
The article is from 2016 but it extends to this year's SB as well.
Owners OK On Location Experiences to sell Super Bowl packageshttp://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/15700554/nfl-owners-ok-location-experiences-sell-super-bowl-tickets
A group licensed by the NFL will begin selling Super Bowl tickets as part of packages to the big game next month, offering fans the first chance to buy seats to the league's title game eight months before it is played.
At Tuesday's meetings in Charlotte, North Carolina, owners voted to authorize a deal to sell 6,000 tickets that had been part of the participating teams' allotment to On Location Experiences.
Sources said On Location Experiences -- which last year secured a license for Super Bowl-related business -- bought into the nine-year deal for an up-front fee of about $55 million. That does not include the face value of every ticket, which On Location will pay back to the league.
Along with tickets at each price point, the company -- through a newly developed website to debut next month -- will sell experiences never offered before, including on-field pregame and postgame opportunities.
The move was done in part because the league wanted to have more control over what was offered before the chaos of the Super Bowl sets in.
Bottom line is that it's going to be an unusual crowd for the Vikings (fat cats and casual fans who "know someone" don't scream their heads off), and it might be a little disorienting to the team. Yeah, I know, we have to get there first, but I'm not superstitious.

I can't speak for all areas of the stadium. But the seats in my regular sections are attached to rails. There is space between the seats and they can be moved closer together. We were guessing they would do this in order to add seats for the Super Bowl. I'm not sure where the rest will come from but there is room within at least some of the sections.
Should read: “ Patriots may give the Vikings trouble in the SuperBowl” ... 
Being in the city watching the game would be awesome. If we win.
