    Frequently Asked Questions

    Where can I purchase tickets to NFL games?
    Tickets for all 32 NFL teams can be purchased by visiting our Tickets page. You can click on the team links to buy tickets online or call the team ticket offices at the numbers listed.

    How can I buy Super Bowl tickets?
    The only method the NFL has to distribute tickets to the public is through a random drawing. There is no other way for the general public to purchase tickets. The NFL does not sell tickets to travel or ticket agents.

    Entries for the random drawing are accepted between Feb. 1 and June 1 of the year preceding the game in question. All ticket requests must be sent via certified or registered mail. Those selected in the random drawing will have the opportunity to purchase two tickets.

    Super Bowl XXXVIII, to be played Feb. 1, 2004 in Houston, Texas will be accepted beginning Feb. 1, 2003. Requests should be sent to:

    Super Bowl Random Drawing
    PO Box 16400
    Mascoutah, IL 62224-6400

    Please note that only one request per address is accepted. All duplicate requests will be disregarded.

    Are statistics in the Gamebooks official?
    No. Gamebooks are prepared on site at each game using data available immediately following the completion of a game. They are intended to provide a snapshot of the game's action and are not updated after stats are made official on Monday mornings. Please note that scoring decisions made on game days are reviewed and frequently adjusted before becoming official. See the Stats section of the site or a player's player page to find official statistics.
