People are paying nearly $1 million for Super Bowl box seats

If ESPN's Darren Rovell's tweet is correct, it would appear that a group has already paid over $800,000 for Super Bowl box seats. And that's not all of the more than pricey options for those inclined to check out the big game. 

Another fan dropped $80,000 for four seats six rows up on the 50-yard line behind the New England Patriots' bench.

Resale ticket prices did drop slightly with the Minnesota Vikings' elimination, though. According to Rovell, prices rose to more than $5,400 after the Vikings took a 7-0 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday's AFC Championship Game, but had fallen to under $4,700 when the contest ended.
