2013 Super Bowl Commercials: How much do they cost?

As the countdown begins for Super Bowl XLVII, it's time to focus on one of the most important parts of the game: The ads.

The Super Bowl is the most watched sporting event in the entire world, bringing in roughly 113 million viewers. A Harris Interactive study last year found that an estimated 66% of women and 45% of men watch the big game as much for the ads as the action on the field.

So for advertisers, what's a better way to get your brand's promotion than during The Super Bowl?

How much does it cost to run commercials during the Super Bowl?

Companies are shelling out $3.8 million for each 30-second time slot that will play to those 113 million people.

But for this year's Super Bowl, more marketers are benching the standard 30-second spots and paying pricey sums, upwards of about $7.5 million, to run 60-second commercials during the NFL championship Feb. 3.

CBS hasn’t sold out of all of the open slots yet so if you have something you want to say to about a billion people, now’s your chance if you have the cash handy.
