Two Irish lads bluffed their way all the way into $25,000 seats at the Super Bowl! One of them explains how they did it!

Richard Whelan from Dublin and Paul McEvoy from Cahir made the 5,000 mile trip hoping they would be able to watch their beloved Seahawks topple the Patriots. Obviously they didn't get that wish, but they still had a hell of a ride! Here's part of an interview where they tell how they got in to the stadium.

The audio gives us the majority of how they got IN to the Super Bowl. Here's the rest of the story about how they got in their $25,000 seats:

"And there was more good fortune to come after the pair spent the first half jumping from seat to seat when people had gone off to the toilet or for food and convincing the Patriots mascot to pose with an Irish flag.

During halftime they stumbled across two empty seats in the fourth row worth a cool $25,000 each, next to former Patriots legend Lawyer Milloy, who finished his illustrious NFL career at the Seahawks.

Whalen said: 'We spoke to this guy and told him we had sneaked in. He told us the girls beside him were in the halftime show and so wouldn't be coming back to their seats after halftime.

'So we ended up in the fourth row, sitting beside a former Super Bowl champion Lawyer Milloy who gave us a play-by-play of the game … It was pretty cool to have the Super Bowl champion sharing all the details.'

Unfortunately their team fell agonizingly short, losing 28-24 to a Tom Brady-inspired Patriots.

Along with a pic of him and McEvoy, Whelan tweeted: 'Getting ready for the long trip back to Dublin. Hopefully I'm allowed back home :).'

But at least they managed to find their way onto a VIP bus back to their hotel.

'It was a good day of hustling,' Whalen admitted."
