Fox Sports is reportedly seeking to charge more than $5m for a 30 second commercial during the live show, up from $2.7m just 10 years ago in 2007.

The new charge amounts to nearly $170,000 per second. And if you want any more airtime than that, it’s considerably higher.

Not counting travel expenses, the Super Bowl tickets will be out of the average fans reach.

Tickets on StubHub are starting at $2,590, whilst if you try Ticketmaster’s exchange website, they’re starting at $2,800 and are going for as high as $16,360.
