You need to find out if those were the original prices or the resale prices.
I heard a number like $8,000 for the AFC game in Baltimore. Up until a few years ago I had season tickets at that stadium. I was never charged anything remotely close to even $1,000 for a game. Sure, there were more expensive tickets and packages but not 40 times what I was paying. EXCEPT, there was the resale market where I could easily sell my tickets for at least 4x the price I originally paid.
I have no idea what the NFL charges for Superbowl tickets but I suspect there are very few, if any, in the $10,000 price range. On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they were being offered for that much on the resale market.
There are plenty of things to criticize the NFL for but they have little control over ticket scalping.
