The controversial nearly hilarious Deflatgate has not let any air out of the sales of the Super Bowl advertising prices, which have reached yet another record high. NBC charged $4.5 million for this year’s game. Just two seconds of ad time for Super Bowl 50 will cost more than $333,000. Because of this, however, Anheuser Busch doesn’t pay the same price that other advertisers who buy one ad pay.
“If there’s a rap on it, tell them we will take the Super Bowl every single year, year in, year out, forever”. Streaming set a record as well.
Moonves said that thanks to the Super Bowl ratings, he’s already comfortable saying that “CBS will win the 2015-16 season”.
Super Bowl 49 had its controversy with allegations that Tom Brady the New England star quarterback had deflated balls deliberately during the AFC Championship game in which they defeated the Indianapolis Colts this past January.
Adjusting for inflation, a 30-second ad passed the $1 million mark in 1985, the $2 million mark in 1998, and the $3 million mark in 2008.
Obviously that’s still a ridiculous figure for a advert at a commercial game, but such is the popularity of the game’s commercials, they arguably have become as important to many fans as the match itself.
