Super Bowl 50: 5 Ways to Get to the Game

2016-01-27 by CapitalCityTickets.com Staff Leave a Comment

The big game is a week and a half away…are you ready? Maybe you have your tickets to the game itself in hand. You probably have hotel reservations—maybe you’ve even reserved a car, a table at one of the area restaurants. Maybe you’re attending some of the additional events during the week leading up to Super Bowl 50.

But have you thought about how you’ll get to the stadium itself? The stadium seats approximately 68,500 people…that’s a lot of traffic! The good news is that you have choices for how you’ll get to the game, and with a little advanced planning, you’ll make it well before kickoff.

Private Vehicle

Whether you’re driving your own car or a rental, driving a private vehicle means you’re going to want to get a Super Bowl parking pass. It’s not just the sheer volume of spectators, but ticket-holders can expect security measures to factor into the time it takes to park and get into the stadium.

How nice would it be to arrive at the game without having to worry about where you’ll park your car?

Parking lots will open at nine in the morning on February 7, 2016 (Gameday).

Fan Express

For those who want to ride in the lap of luxury, the Fan Express has several pick-up and drop-off locations. The Fan Express will run from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm to accommodate spectators throughout the day.

Trains

If you don’t plan to rent a car and don’t want to take the Fan Express, trains are another option to get you to the game. Some of them go directly to the stadium while others get you near enough that you could get there on foot or get to another transportation line. You have five trains to choose from:

ACE
BART
Caltrain
Capital Corridor
VTA

Either way, make sure to check the train schedule(s) and stops in advance so that you can make sure not to miss a moment of Super Bowl 50.

Taxis

Taxis can be a convenient method of transportation to get to the game, because you can take them from just about anywhere in the city. They’ll drop off on Calle de Luna—which isn’t as close as some of the other transportation drop-offs or parking locations.

Uber

Uber, if you haven’t used it before, is like an on-demand taxi or car service. There will be a designated drop-off spot for Uber that will get you closer to the game than a taxi, but last-minute Uber rides might be difficult to come by.

Regardless of how you plan to get to Super Bowl 50, planning ahead can reduce stress, and get you to the game on time.

50 Years of Super Bowl – A look back through the decades

2016-01-21 by CapitalCityTickets.com Staff Leave a Comment

It may be difficult to believe that 50 years have passed since the first Super Bowl game was played on January 15^th, 1967. So much in the world has changed since then—technology, politics, civil rights, and more. In 50 years of Super Bowl games, athletes, musicians, coaches, fans, cheerleaders, broadcasters and more have marked the passing years and everything they’ve brought.

We’d like to take this chance to look back at the Super Bowl—because some amazing things have happened, and some remarkable records were made.

Super Bowl Teams

Did you know that Dallas, New England, and Pittsburgh have each played in eight games—the most on record for any team? Buffalo played the Super Bowl four years in a row, holding the record for most consecutive games played. With six wins under their belt, Pittsburgh leads the charge on most games won, while Buffalo lost the most consecutive games (those same four mentioned earlier). Denver has lost the most non-consecutive Super Bowl games.

Super Bowl XXVII had the most fumbles (Buffalo vs. Dallas). Which game had the most recovered fumbles? Dallas vs. Denver, in 1978. Ten years later, the Washington vs. Denver game saw the most yards gained at a whopping 602!

Three games tie for the most field goals—XXIII (1989), XXVIII (1994), and XLVII (2013).

Super Bowl X, Dallas vs. Baltimore, holds the record for the most yards penalized for a game at 133.

Team records are a point of pride, entertainment, and act as a legacy for the sport of football. Every year is another opportunity to set a new record—a new opportunity to teams to make their mark on Super Bowl history.

Football Players

You may already know that Jerry Rice holds the record for most points scored in a career—and that number is 48—all earned in four games played for San Francisco. You might know too that he holds the record for the most Super Bowl career touchdowns at eight (in those same four games). He also holds the record for the most career yards gained (604). Let’s just say when it comes to football and the history of the sport, Rice was pretty amazing.

What about Jacoby Jones, though, who, in 2013, gained 290 yards? That is an impressive amount of yardage. Where most sacks in a Super Bowl game are concerned, the record is three, with both Reggie White and Darnell Dockett tied.

Professional football players have done awe-inspiring things on the field these last 50 years…it’s exciting to think of what records they might break in the next 50.

Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show & Events

2016-01-14 by CapitalCityTickets.com Staff Leave a Comment

With Super Bowl 50 (no Roman numerals this year) right around the corner, we thought you might want to know about some of the events taking place leading up to the big day. If you were only planning to attend the game, you might want to add a few events–and days in San Francisco–to your itinerary.

Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show

One of the most anticipated events, aside from the game itself, is the Halftime Show. Headlining the show will be the band Coldplay. The band’s seventh album—titled ‘A Head Full of Dreams’—dropped in December 2015.

But they won’t be performing alone. The band’s front man, Chris Martin, is designing the event. He’s even participating in webisodes that document his plans. Rumors abound as to who might join him on the field to celebrate this historical event. We will say this—recent buzz has been dropping some pretty big music-industry names, including Beyoncé.

The Week Before

For those lucky enough to be in the San Francisco Bay Area to watch the game in-person, there are two other major events to check out:

NFL Experience, Driven by Hyundai
Super Bowl City

Both events run from January 30 – February 7, 2016, and are packed with activities to celebrate the fiftieth year of the Super Bowl.

NFL Experience offers a youth clinic, interactive games, opportunities to meet the participating teams’ players (and get signatures), and more. NFL Experience will be held at the Moscone Center this year. Special attractions will debut for fans—don’t miss this event!

Super Bowl City is a whole village—centered in the Justin Herman Plaza—dedicated to celebrating the Super Bowl. The Host Committee welcomes visitors to enjoy pre-game activities for free.

There are plenty of additional events, too, if you plan to spend more time in San Francisco. A symphony performance, Gospel Celebration, Super Bowl Breakfast, and charity events are just some of the goings-on.

Get Great Deals on NFL Playoff Tickets for the 2015-2016 Season

2015-12-01 by CapitalCityTickets.com Staff Leave a Comment

There isn’t much in sports that’s more exciting than the NFL playoff season. After 17 weeks of the regular season only the strongest are still standing, and every victory brings them closer to the most celebrated game in professional sports: the Super Bowl. What could be better than seeing the action live and in person?

NFL playoff tickets can be expensive and hard to come by, but if you’re lucky you can get tickets before time runs out and without completely breaking the bank. Here are some handy tips for football fans looking to catch the 2015-2016 NFL playoffs the way it was meant to be seen – from the stands.

Be sure to only buy from professional ticket brokers.

It might be tempting to try and get a good deal on NFL tickets from scalpers, online auctions, or even Internet classifieds like craigslist. These are hotbeds for scammers. It might seem like you’re getting a good deal at first, but things will change awfully quickly if you find out at the entrance that your ticket is a forgery. It’s safer (and more ethical) to but from legitimate channels.

Wait until the day of the game to buy your tickets.

Waiting until 24 to 48 hours before kickoff to buy your tickets is a good way to get great deals. Sellers want to unload their tickets before they’re no good anymore, so they’re willing to sell them for a song. This is true at the box office and at online ticket sellers like CapitalCityTickets.com. The downside is that these deals aren’t guaranteed, nor or any tickets at all – there’s always the possibility that the game will sell out before you get your big bargain. This is especially true in the case of playoff games.
