How is this for a suite agreement, courtesy of a taxi driver at Louis Armstrong airport in New Orleans?
Last year, an associate of his home mortgage and spent money on a box in Super Bowl Lix. It delayed $ 225,000. He sold it three days ago. For $ 1.6 million.
There is no more precious ticket in American sports than on the Sunday of the Super Bowl. And this year, no more seats are sought than those of the 165 luxury suites that extend around Caesars Superdome.
The cheapest costs around $ 500,000. They come with an obstructed view of the field. The most coveted feel close to the center of the field and have a price of $ 3 million.
When Kansas City and Philadelphia Eagles bosses emerge on Sunday night, each box will be rammed with the rich and famous. Donald Trump, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian are among those expected in New Orleans at the end of this week.
They will be treated with gumbo and ribs and shrimp and popcorn popcorn. “The delicious kitchen, and the warmth of the great easy hospitality of New Orleans,” promises the official menu.

But for those VIP, which immerse themselves in their deep pockets, the Super Bowl extends far beyond four rooms of 15 minutes. “It's a whole weekend,” says Simon David confirmed360. He has the task of guaranteeing that no one feels in the short term.
Among the offers outside this year's field? Private Jets and Pantano Private Tours with local caimanes. Parts prior to the game with diplo, DJ lessons, dinners, a visit from a local chef. And a guarantee that they will never queue. “White gloves service,” says David.
It is expected that around 800 airplanes will descend on New Orleans in the next few days. Forget about Philadelphia or Kansas City, many high rolleros will come from New York and southern Florida.
A round trip from there, reserved on time, can cost more than $ 40,000. Some 'VIP aircraft' come with gourmet dinners and a full size kitchen. “You can have anything, from McDonald's to Nobu,” says David Gitman by Monarch Air Group, a leading private jet charter with headquarters in Fort Lauderdale.
But the airspace will be so congested that some flights are forced to land a couple of hours away, in neighbor Mississippi.
From there, agencies as confirmed360 must meet all customer needs. The majority remains confidential, but include influential people, “Individuals of high heritage of the network” and “some of the most important names in sports and entertainment.”
Last year, 360 confirmed helped Olivia culpoked a suite to see her husband, the 49ers star, Christian McCaffrey, to face the Chiefs in the Super Bowl LVIII.
The fight for a place in this year's masterpiece began shortly after Patrick Mahomes orchestrated a winning trip in Las Vegas. There are those who simply want another taste of high life. And others that simply “have to be seen in the Super Bowl,” says David. It doesn't matter the year. It doesn't matter who is playing.

Field suites in the final area of Caesars Superdome are very sought after
However, the demand really begins to snow ball as the season takes place. “Then, once the playoffs begin in January, it is when there is more movement,” says David. “Until the teams are confirmed.”
What follows at the weekend of the championship? A 14 -day fight to squeeze everyone. After all, nobody wants the work of telling celebrities as swift that all seats are full.
“Often, we can have a suite owner who says …” I would love to come to the suite and see the game with me and with my family or my clients, “says David. It is not uncommon for players or celebrities to put themselves and pile up in a suite.
Sometimes it depends on the agencies to be creative and smell the opportunities of networks. 'We will think: it could actually be good for someone to meet someone else. And there is no better way than in a suite in the Super Bowl.
There is only one problem: celebrities can be very particular about what they want. That can be tickets only for your security details. “We have made people ask for a wizard,” says David.
Others have been waiting for a Pop-A-Shot machine or a former player to enjoy the game. According to another source of the industry, customers attending Swift concerts could ask if a suite comes with a visit from the singer itself.
'We have received applications from specific types of wines or bourbons … a special birthday cake they did, “David continues. “Some things are not obviously not possible.”
It does not help when some VIP leave everything until the last minute. “We have had, in the past, called in the morning of,” David reveals. Gitman 'never says no to customers', so it has some additional parking spaces reserved in case of late arrivals.

After landing, some celebrities will accept sitting in a suite, but only under certain conditions. There are no images or autographs, for example. EITHER? “They want to know who the suite is, what is their business, who will be there,” says David. “The last thing we need is someone in a suite who does not get along with another guest of the suite.”
Not when they pay six or seven figures. 'All these are notable buyers and high net worth, whether celebrities or not. We have to exceed expectations.
That means warning customers with cheaper suites. 'The price of $ 500,000 was offered with some partially obstructed views of the field. So we don't like to recommend that, 'says David.
Instead, most of their VIP spend between $ 750,000 and more than $ 1.8 million. It doesn't matter that many of the best suites with the best views are reserved by the NFL and its partners.
The League has the first DIBS and those who do not want to offer the current holders of the Suite in the Superdome. Some end up in the secondary market.
The $ 3M box, which has 45 people, is 'super sought'. So are field suites in the northern end zone.
Then there are optional extras. “The Super Bowl has become more than the game itself,” says David. “We are sending some people to private visits with the Gators during the day,” says David.
On Friday night, Diplo is organizing a party and customers can go on stage and enter the green room. On the eve of the Super Bowl Sunday, fans can go behind the covers at the Maxim party.
“On stage, as the doors open, (you can) take a lesson and learn to DJ,” explains David. “Put on the right the DJ while the doors open and then go to your table once the party really starts.”
They will sit on stage, of course. And plans are established to ensure that customers never wait in line. They can lead to their private planes and take off in a matter of minutes. In the parties, they can have security or even their own entry.
Vips enjoy Don Julio Tequila, Royal Crown whiskey, Bulleit Bourbon and can add to the menu
If DJs and dance are not your liking? Confirmed360 has a team in charge of finding guests in a home in New Orleans. They can organize private dinners or a visit to the home of a chef.
In Gameday, the suites will typically come with access to the back door of the stadium and the dedicated host. The offerings inside its box include a 'Newhing Station' prior to the game and a charcerie board. Sliders, salads and gumbo at the beginning followed by bread and cake in the part -time.
Don Julio Tequila, Crown Royal Whiskey, Bulleit Bourbon and VIPs can be added to the menu if they wish.
“There is nothing to do once they arrive, apart from enjoying,” David insists.
Then comes the small portion of the weekend of the Super Bowl that cannot be taken: football. Then, once the beginning comes, it depends on the Chiefs and the Eagles to give everyone the value of their money.
