OK, so this morning I was curious about how much Super Bowl tickets were going for already. $1800 looks like the cheapest nosebleed seat that you can buy right now. So, I was thinking - how can I get tickets for next year?
I found out that the NFL releases a very small amount of tickets to the general public through a lottery. You can request 2 tickets and have to pay the face value ($500 typically) if you are lucky enough to be selected. Here are the instructions from the NFL if anyone else is interested. I seem to remember my fraternity doing this several years in a row and one person got two tickets from the 100+ entries that were sent. Incidentally, I am offering free room and board for the 2011 Super Bowl to anyone who gets tickets and agrees to take me along (it's at Cowboy's Stadium in 2011...).
Here are the instructions from NFL.com:
The only method the NFL has to distribute tickets to the public is through a random drawing. There is no other way for the general public to purchase tickets. The NFL does not sell tickets to travel or ticket agents.
Entries for the random drawing are accepted between Feb. 1 and June 1 of the year preceding the game in question. All ticket requests must be sent via certified or registered mail. Those selected in the random drawing will have the opportunity to purchase two tickets.

Please note that only one request per address is accepted. All duplicate requests will be disregarded.
And here are a few tips from another website that might increase your chances of winning:
· Make sure to request two SuperBowl tickets to the Super Bowl that you wish to attend.
· Send your Super Bowl ticket request via certified mail.
· Be sure to include your full name, address and phone number.
· Type your Super Bowl ticket request. You would hate to miss out because your penmanship is poor.
