Super Bowl

SUPER BOWL IN ARIZONA RIP OFFS
For heaven sakes stay away from traveling to the Phoenix Metropolitan Area from January 26 through February 3.
Price gouging has been carried to a SUPER level by some of the so called friendly people of Phoenix. The Super Bowl is actually in Glendale AZ but unless you simply can’t bear to miss it stay home, go to the local sports bar have a cool one and watch it, you can’t get a ticket anyway. Always remember this game isn’t for the fans. It is a big corporate party for all those sponsors, Corporate bigwigs, B list actors, rappers and assorted hangers on. Most VIP Parties are by invite only and many nightspots have space only at $1000.00 and up.
Who wants to be there anyway!
Example prices:
Car Rental (Economy from Dollar) - 4 days $432.00 one week later 3 days $99.00
Lodging (4 Night minimum at Hyatt Scottsdale) $2800.00 next week 199.00 per night
Limo (6 hr minimum) $575 one week later $325
And lastly and our first entry into Gary’s Hall of Shame, Phoenix based
US AIRWAYS - ROUND TRIP TICKET from BOSTON 1/31 returning 2/4 $2700.00
For days later 2/8 returning 2/11 - $363.00
So folks I’m sure you get it -- Arizona is a great place to visit but not that week
