NEW YORK (AP) — Wow!

The NFL says the highest-priced tickets for this season's Super Bowl will be about $2,600 each for 9,000 premium seats for the Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. That's more than twice the $1,250 cost for similar tickets at last year's Super Bowl in New Orleans.
