Super Bowl, yes. Playoffs, no. But, that's also assuming we had extra cash to splurge.
-
@bluestriped bee: for two people! Those are the cheapest tickets!
Of course I would go with, I love our football team as much as he does. But, I also like being warm, in my house watching a game instead.
I've asked him for things that had a similar price tag, he never said no but he never pushed me to buy those items either. I think I might just tell him for the same price, he could get a smart tv to watch the game at home. DONE.
-
@Boogs: I think Super Bowl tickets are thousands though!
-
@HLK208: That sounds like a plan! Then it would be the gift that keeps on giving!
-
Yep. DH and I each have a kind of generous monthly "allowance" of no questions asked money in our personal accounts, so if it was in his account and what he chose to spend 2-4 months worth of his spending money on, the tickets are his. I might roll my eyes that it's a lot of money for ONE game that he could just as easily watch at home and I wouldn't be willing to spend $450 from my allowance though on that to join him, so he'd either have to pay for both of us or find a friend to go with him, but it wouldn't be a straight up "no".
I've easily spent $450 on new workout gear, a hair cut, leather boots and a trip to Sephora this month, and he didn't question me even though I'm sure he thinks those things are wasteful, so it's not fair for me to deny him his own discretionary spending as long as we can afford it.

Hahahaha no. But only because it would be astronomically outside our realm of reality when it comes to finances... that and the fact that we aren't sports people.

@HLK208: I think a new tv is a great idea especially for your beautiful new house! Personally,I prefer watching football games at home....I get too cold! I was asking my husband about the cost of tickets and he told me his tickets are $215 face value and for the Saints game people had similarly located tickets marked up to $600 per ticket...but hours before the game the tickets dropped down to the face value price on StubHub.com. Soooo....if he hasn't already decided on getting a new tv, maybe you can have a sitter lined up for the kids and check on stubhub for tickets a few hours before the game and see if they move down to face value...I hate doing last minute stuff but that may be an option
-
@HLK208: probably... I spent about $500 on tickets for non playoff games for DH for christmas a few years ago
-
If the Lions ever made it to the playoffs I'd sell my arm to go to a game! lol! So yes
-
@HLK208: Honestly, I'd do it! Next year (if they make the playoffs) you will have 3 kids, so probably not the time, energy or extra cash to go. Don't forget your clear purse!!!
-
Not a chance in hell. I MIGHT pay $900 if my team or Hubs' team made it to the SuperBowl and the game was within driving distance so we wouldn't have to fly. But a playoff game? No way. Talk to me after I win the lottery, though...maybe I'll change my mind.
-
In our household DH would never even ask because that kind of money for leisure is not possible! For a vacation yes but for 1 day of watching a game no.
If this is unusual for your hubby to beg for and you have never gotten him anything like this, then maybe! Knowing how much he appreciates would be worth it (I am assuming if you're considering then the money is not an issue?)
-
@sandy: I guess they sell out within a minute but then people resell them for so much more, but your right, I bet if we waited we might be able to find them for less!
-
@HLK208: even season ticket holders will get their playoff tickets for face value and try to sell them for 3-4 times more than they paid...ridiculous! So I guess on stubhub there is a setting where you can elect for the price to drop at a certain time if they haven't sold...and at least for the saints game the prices dropped a ton hours before the game as scalpers were trying to unload their tickets
-
@HLK208: I'm sure they are, but I personally wouldn't even pay more than that for a SuperBowl unless we were more well off. I feel like there's so much more we can get with that or we could even take a nice little vacation with it.
-
DH got a $1200 Christmas gift this year... but that was a tablet that he will use for years, not tickets for 1 game.
