Some football fans have an annual tradition of attending the Super Bowl each season, wherever it is. This year, these fans will be in store for something a little bit different.

The NFL is close to approving a policy that would double the ticket prices for the best seats in the upcoming Super Bowl at Metlife Stadium in New York in February. The policy is said to be in place to offset the scalping tradition that usually takes place.

NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy told the Wall Street Journal that the league wants to salvage some of the money that escapes them with scalping.

"We are looking to close the gap between the face value of the ticket and the true value of a ticket to what has become the premier sports and entertainment event," he told them.

Although some of the prices are doubling, the less-expensive seats are actually dropping in price. The least expensive seat at this year's Super Bowl, according to the Wall Street Journal, was $600. Next year's least expensive seat starts at $500.

NFL officials are reportedly arguing that they have the right to boost ticket prices this year because of the prime location of New York, where the high population and the big corporate influence means that there is a higher chance that the tickets will be purchased regardless of price.

Indoor suites are starting at $500,000 apiece for 30 people, the Wall Street Journal also said.

The price for a 30-second commercial at this year's Super Bowl will start at $4 million, according to Fox Sports.

This year's Super Bowl will mark the first time ever that the Super Bowl will be played outdoors in a cold-weather site.
