When the Steelers defeated the Ravens this past January to reach the Super Bowl, I was thrilled. Especially since they would be playing in Tampa.I had been to two previous Super Bowls, but I had never seen my hometown team play.
The cost of tickets for the two previous games was around $150.00.
For this game, I knew that I would be paying big bucks if I decided to go.
It wasn't until the Thursday before the game that I decided to try and get a ticket.
I found a ticket broker close to my job and visited the location at lunch.
I had several seats to choose from and I selected one that would be close to the field. Around the 30 yard line and 30 rows back.
The price was pretty steep, but I went because I knew that my father would want me to go. He had passed away two months earlier.
The cool thing was just a few days after the game, which of course, the Steelers won, I got a check in the mail from my dad's insurance company. The money he left me was the exact amount I paid for the ticket.
Pretty amazing coincidence.
