Some fans were unhappy last week when Roger Goodell announced that putting the Super Bowl on a paid streaming service was "certainly possible."  The league already requires a paid streaming service for many games including Thursday nights and Christmas, and with streaming being the future of live sports, I would expect it to happen at some point, though that is still many years away.

I was amongst the unhappy fans about Goodell’s SB announcement. It’s their product and they’ve the right to market it any way they feel fit to.

Money speaks in volumes and is the root of evil. Putting SB on a PPV is as evil as it gets. I suppose only the rich are to enjoy PLE and not anyone else.

How rich do the rich need to be?!? There’s no affordable PLE sports and entertainment in Las Vegas, or any where else!!

The NFL worships money.  No amount will ever be enough for them.

Tbh as someone abroad i have always thought you guys get the short end of the stick with charges for sports. UFC and boxing are an easy example: if i decide to pay for a boxing PPV here (and it is normally only the biggest high profile fights that are a PPV) it is about £20/25 usually - i was shocked to see it is $99 in the USA and covers a lot of the fights. Similarly my subscription to TNT sports (formerly ESPN etc in the UK) includes almost all UFC events - i only pay for the biggest ones that are a PPV and sometimes i object on principle to paying when i already have a subscription!

You guys definitely get ripped off - I also saw the head of TKO openly saying that WWE prices needed to change as they were stupidly priced to allow families to attend and it was leaving potential profits on the table! Sheer greed - if families can't attend then they are costing themselves potential future customers!

I just checked WWE Wrestlemania, and a ticket at section 326, corner, $341 and a ticket at section 338, middle, $1,744. Nose bleed section 436 costs $953. 2-Day Pass in Section A4, on the floor that faces the main camera is $15,019!! Give me a break!!

Someone’s lost their mind!! 

Anything, except UNLV football games, at Allegiant Stadium will got you a small fortune!! The powers that be get away with charging high prices because some fans have more money than they’ll ever spend in a life time!!
