Season-ticket holders will need to win lottery

The Seahawks announced that 75 percent of the team's tickets for Super Bowl XL will be available to season-ticket holders through a lottery.

While the number of tickets in its allotment was not known, the team receives 17.5 percent of all Super Bowl tickets. The AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers get the same percentage.

All Seahawks full season-ticket holders are automatically eligible for the ticket lottery, which was held last night. Season-ticket holders will be notified today and Tuesday if they have been selected for the right to buy tickets and will have the option to purchase two tickets.

The cost for two Super Bowl XL tickets is $1,240. Those who have won the lottery have until Thursday to pick up and pay for the tickets at the Qwest Field box office.
