Super Bowl host committee reimbursing NFL nearly $10 million for ticket tax

The North Texas Super Bowl Host Committee will spend nearly $10 million — one-quarter of its $40 million in anticipated expenses — to cover the admissions tax on game tickets, in effect allowing the NFL to keep money that would otherwise pay the tax. In its Super Bowl bid specifications, the NFL requires that it pay no sales or ticket taxes on game tickets.

The Dallas Morning News obtained a copy of the North Texas host committee’s agreement with the league through an open records request to the Texas Comptroller’s Office.
