Super Bowl 2018: Someone used Bitcoin to buy a $9,360 seat at the 50-yard line

Amid “incredible” demand for tickets to this Sunday’s showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots, which has some resale vendors touting “get-in” costs of at least $3,500, TickPick says it has done something no one else has done before — sold a Super Bowl ticket for Bitcoin.

The secondary market told CBSSports.com on Thursday that co-CEO Brett Goldberg capitalized on the “recent downturn in popularity and price of Bitcoin” to accept the currency for Super Bowl LII tickets, and the decision has already paid off for one customer.

“One Bitcoin is currently worth $9,360, according to Coinbase,” TickPick said. “(We) decided to offer this to … customers when (we) received an inbound request to sell premium Super Bowl tickets for Bitcoin as opposed to traditional currency. This led to the first Super Bowl LII ticket purchase using Bitcoin.”

That purchase, valued at $9,360, was good for a 50-yard-line seat at Minneapolis’ U.S. Bank Stadium for Sunday’s big game.

I think that’s awesome. Not a fan of bitcoin myself, but that someone – esp in today’s declining bitcoin market decided to allow the use of bitcoin to purchase tickets is in itself pretty cool. That said, that’s one expensive ass ticket for the Superbowl. If you’re not in the first 10 rows, you might as well watch from home.

So theres this guy at the Super Bowl.
Seated at the 50 yard line. The seat next to him empty.
Guy next to him asks, why the empty seat?.

He says, that was my Wifes seat, but she passed away.

Guy says, Im sorry. But isnt there anyone else in your Family that would want to go?

He says

Well sure,

But they’re all at the Funeral.

Bitcoin holds no value, becouse it has no value but what people put in it.

I invested 1000€ on crypto I call it : my suicide investment.

Bitcoin = s~~~.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.
