NFL fans interested in attending the 2010 Pro Bowl will need to dig deep into their wallets because ticket prices will closely mirror the cost of wild-card playoff game tickets, according to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com. As the NFL attempts to market the Pro Bowl that’s scheduled for next January at Dolphin Stadium, they’re giving Miami Dolphins season-ticket holders first dibs on buying tickets. And a general sale set for October will range from $46 and up. Per the report, NFL senior vice president of events Frank Supovitz said that most tickets will be under $100 and will be cheaper than the price of tickets for the game held earlier this year in Hawaii. Selling out the Pro Bowl will present a challenge for the league. As Marvez points out, most fans attending the Super Bowl the following week won’t arrive in time for the league’s annual all-star game. “We’ve got more seats to sell in a market that hasn’t seen the Pro Bowl in 35 years,” Supovitz said. “It’s a great opportunity and a challenge to communicate how exciting the Pro Bowl experience can be because it hasn’t been here in so long.” The Pro Bowl is moving back to Hawaii in 2011 and 2012. For this latest Pro Bowl, the NFL is looking into ways to boost interest by possibly booking celebrities to appear prior to kickoff. “There will be a lot more pageantry,” Supovitz predicted. Another challenge for the NFL in selling the Pro Bowl is the fact that any all-stars that are playing in the Super Bowl will be unavailable for the Pro Bowl.
