The San Francisco 49ers are the hottest topic in the Bay Area with the team headed back to the Super Bowl.
The team's historic comeback victory at Levi's Stadium is fueling excitement as the team prepared to head to Las Vegas for a chance at another world title.
“Oh my God, this is like a dream come true,” said Maria Castillo of Manteca.
That’s what it seemed like at Levi’s Stadium Monday as the 49er Faithful grabbed their brand new gear proclaiming San Francisco as NFC Champions.
But some dreams can be expensive. A 49er season-ticket holder did not score one of the face value Super Bowl tickets, and is now searching the secondary market.
“This morning they [tickets] were down to like $6,500. If it’s that price, I’m going in. If I’m going that far, I’m going in,” said Joe Yturralde.
The cheapest ticket found Monday afternoon on StubHub – after fees – was over $9,000.
And for those looking to watch the game in person, flights from SJC to Las Vegas from Saturday through Tuesday, through Spirit Airlines -- with a stay at Circus Circus Hotel and Casino -- cost another $961.
So, all in all, more than $10,000 for one person.

The buildup to the Super Bowl will be spectacular and the game itself is expected to live up to that title.
“This is a star-studded team that the 49ers will be facing,” said Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. “But the 49ers are also laden with superstar power, all pros, Pro Bowl players, guys all over the field, who are big-time players. So it really should be a great matchup.”
