More $$$: Super Bowl or World Cup Final?

[zeppelin77]

Just curious. What tickets are more expensive in the black market/ticket brokers: Super Bowl or World Cup Final?
Yes, there are a lot of variables, ie teams playing in the final and city/country. Generally speaking which one is more expensive?
I'd say World Cup since there's a much larger audience (more demand) and it happens only once every four years. I heard Super Bowl prices started at $2-3k/ticket just to get in. I have no idea what black market prices are like for the world cup final.

Cheers!

I think England's opener against Sweden at WC2002 attracted balck market prices of upto $2K and WC2002 final tickets going for about $4K. If there was an England- Germany final I think the ticket prices would be through the roof as Gremany are the hosts, England will have the most travelling fans in Germany (signifcantly more than they had at World Cup 2002) and both sets of fans are relatively rich.

Detroit News reported that the $2500 asking price by scalpers fell to $1500 about 1/2 hour before the game.

Back in 2002 there were reports that two tickets for the final were sold for 720 000 Yen (6100 Euro). The regular price was 160 000 Yen. But don't know if that was the regular price on the black market. ;)

Right now StubHub has WC Final tickets going for $3530 - $8795.

Man, can you imagine making that kind of transaction w/ cash outside a stadium? And the possibility that they could be counterfeit.
I guess the world cup wins most expensive event to attend.
