Lifelong Aberdeen resident Danielle Fisher will get to do what so many Harbor residents wish they could this weekend when she attends Super Bowl XLIX to see the Seahawks take on the New England Patriots in Glendale, AZ.
Fisher got her ticket on Jan. 19 from Vivid Seats, an online resale ticket website after doing some research on where to look. She started thinking about going to the big game after the Hawks defeated the Denver Broncos last year, giving her plenty of time to prepare for what would happen if Seattle made it the Super Bowl again.
“I think I had it planned out pretty well. It’s really difficult to get the actual face-value tickets from Ticketmaster because they distribute them to season ticket holders,” she said. Fisher’s ticket is for a seat around the 15 or 20 yard line on the NFC side on the 400 level of the stadium.
Although she’s an avid fan, Fisher is not a season ticket holder and only went to one game this season. She said the decision to scout out tickets this year was a “bucket list thing” for her. This will be her the first time she’s attened the Super Bowl.
Fisher will is flying to Arizona from Portland International Airport, which she said is cheaper than leaving from Seattle. She’s also cutting expenses by staying with family in Arizona. However, they’re not going; Fisher says they’re Cardinal and 49er fans.
“They love me, so they’ll let me stay,” she joked.
A friend of Fisher’s from Seattle will meet her at the game, along with a group from the Tri-Cities that went to college with Fisher.
Before the game, Fisher is looking forward to taking in all of the surrounding festivities. She said she is most excited about Super Bowl Central, a number of events in downtown Phoenix that takes place throughout the weekend before the game, including live musical performances and national television networks broadcasting live.
“This is probably the only time I’ll get to do this. I looking forward to the whole experience,” she said.
