The Super Bowl is one of the toughest tickets in sports. Every year, fans of both teams playing in the big game, as well as general fans of the sport, battle over a limited number of seats available for the biggest game of the year.

Sometimes, even having a ticket doesn’t ensure entry. As former Pro Bowl lineman Kyle Long revealed in a post on social media, in 2017, he left his ticket to Super Bowl LI in his hotel room.

With the New England Patriots set to face off against the Atlanta Falcons in what would go down as the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, Long said he “went seal team 75” to get into the stadium.

Use Long’s anecdote as a warning—always triple-check to ensure you have your tickets to a massive event before leaving for the arena.
