Sell the tickets and buy the gamer. Your tickets must be fairly high up because, two years ago, I paid $910 each (face plus shipping) for two tickets in about the 7th row of the end zone. Great game won by Saints, but wouldn't pay that much again to see a football game. The Saints fans on the bus I rode, who undoubtably paid more to see the game, didn't seem that thrilled by the experience or perhaps they were just tired after a long day.

Sell Them! I`ve been to one SB, it was cool, but enough for me.

Go do something cool, or buy a Grail Item?

I'd sell the tickets. I have used Stubhub, and it is very easy to sell tickets through them. It takes 3-5 minutes; maybe a few minutes more, if you have never done it before.. Airfare to Indy will be high, and hotel rooms are impossible to get--gouging is rampant even in the bad hotels.

Similar situation happened with me...

About 5 hours before game 6 of the 2011 World Series, I got a call from my dad saying he got tickets for the game that night. The rest of my family was already over in St. Louis. I had stayed home for classes and work the day before. He told me I could have the extra ticket or he would just sell it and make a little profit. I let him sell it. The extra money represented a nice game used item, but looking back on it, I passed up seeing one of the greatest games ever in person. And while I had a nice time sweating out the win at Buffalo Wild Wings, I'll always sort of wish I saw it all happen in person.

But that's coming from a big Cardinals fan who had the chance to watch his team in the WS. If you don't have much of an attachment to either team, sell them. The profit would be much larger on Super Bowl tickets than WS tickets.

I'd sell. Unless you are going to have a memory of your favorite team or player, it's not worth the money. Plus, you will have your gamer forever, and it will trump any recollection of a Super Bowl without your team or guy in it.
