Airfare
Most major airlines have added extra flights to Phoenix from both the Boston area and Seattle, with United Airlines alone adding 55 extra flights to Phoenix for the Super Bowl, according to USA Today. But they don't come cheap. ABC News reports that the price of an airline ticket from the Seattle Airport to Phoenix is up 24 percent from normal, with flights begining at $682.
But lucky for us Portlanders and Seahawks fans, Patriots fans have it worse, with flights from Boston to Phoenix up 80 percent from normal, and the cheapest flights costing around $850.

At last check, StubHub, one of the world's biggest ticket resellers, had over 4700 tickets on sale ranging in price from $2319.99 for seats in the far corners of the upper levels of the stadium, to $17,815.10 for tickets in the "club level". You could also take a chance on Craigslist, where tickets are going for $1829 up to $18,050 per ticket, but there's no guarantee that they're legitimate tickets.
