Add to the list of suddenly cheaper products one of the most sought-after luxury items: tickets to the Super Bowl.

 

CNBC reports that the average price for this year's game on the secondary market has fallen to $2,278 from over $3,000 in the past three years. While the National Football League sold out tickets at fixed prices long ago, the original buyers are allowed to resell them, creating a market whose prices are affected on a daily basis by any number of factors.

This news comes after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell granted last-minute extensions to its deadline for home teams to sell their playoff tickets in order for the games to be shown on local television.

If you're a football fan with several thousand dollars burning a hole in your pocket and don't feel like making home-loan payments or saving for retirement, this might just be your lucky year.
