More from SportsGiants fans quick to sell Saturday's tickets
Some Giants fans would just as soon pick up a few dollars than watch in person as the New England Patriots try to complete a perfect season.
They are selling their tickets to Patriots fans who want to see Tom Brady and his teammates go for a 16-0 record in the regular-season finale Saturday night at Giants Stadium.
Internet auction sites that allow customers to buy and sell sports tickets have seen a surge in ticket sales for the game by Giants fans.
"It looks like it's on pace to be one of our top 25 events for all time. It's definitely one of our hot sellers," Joellen Ferrer, a spokesman for Internet auction site StubHub, which specializes in tickets for events, told The Star-Ledger of Newark. "Although it's meaningless to the Giants, it's still going to be a great game to watch."
If the Patriots win, they would become the first NFL team to go undefeated during the regular season since the Miami Dolphins finished the 1972 season at 14-0.
In the first 24 hours after the Giants beat the Bills, more than 200 Giants ticket holders put their seats up for bid on the auction site, eBay. As of Monday, about 3,000 tickets were available for purchase on StubHub. Tickets on StubHub have gone for as much as $1,600 apiece, Ferrer said.
NFL putting in trees for Super Bowl
The NFL is planting thousands of trees in Arizona forests blackened by wildfires to help offset greenhouse gas emissions from the Super Bowl in February.
The league also will power University of Phoenix Stadium and the adjacent NFL theme park with clean energy sources, from New Mexico wind turbines to California geothermal plants.
