Julio Jones wants to take you and a friend to the 2017 Super Bowl, but it’s going to cost you.

The Falcons' All-Pro wide receiver is offering fans who purchase gear on his website a chance to win two tickets, along with airfare and hotel in Houston, to watch Atlanta face the New England Patriots in the NFL's championship game.

The “Jet Jones” apparel ranges from $59.99 hoodies to $9.99 wrist bands.

Don’t want to test your luck?

Tickets to Super Bowl LI start about $4,000. And prices are soaring.

Some Falcons fans have taken to the crowdfunding platform GoFundMe to raise enough funds for a trip to Houston.

One puts it plainly:

Not much of a story to tell. Just a broke Falcons fan with a dream.

Another has received nearly a quarter of his $5,000 request.

In their final game at the Georgia Dome, the Falcons beat the Packers 44-21 on Sunday. Fans around Atlanta celebrated.
