Tickets to the Superbowl

Sometimes I listen to the local Christian radio on the AM dial, and I enjoy it, but once in a while they'll give the microphone to some 'kooks'.
A few times I have heard this fellow during a particular programme through the afternoon and he is one of those guys you need to take with a grain of salt. Well, today I was listening but the shaker emptied real fast ...
He was on about tickets to the up-and-coming Superbowl and likening the attendance of the event ~ even claiming the ticket ~ to gaining entrance and the experience we shall have in Heaven. Now, I agree; the anaology of Christ being our ticket to heaven and everyone needs a ticket to get in is great. But it ends there. The rest of his analogy is faulty! First off, the tickets are sold for the most part and we can NOT purchase or earn our way to Heaven. Secondly, [depending on your view of election you may agree with this] the tickets and availabilty are only for a limited number of folks. Nonetheless, there are levels of enjoyment at the Superbowl that we do NOT have in Heaven, which he said we did! i.e. watching it on television in the bar, from the 'nosebleeds' , from the 50-yard line, some from the press-box and others with "meet the players" passes. I'm sorry but the analogy breaks down a few seats ago!
What does one do with statements from Paul about "seventh heaven" and all that? Perhaps there is somthing there to discover. However, I do not feel our local show host this afternoon has it figured yet.
My only thought to all of this is it is not empowering, not hopeful, and it makes me feel more like I'm in 18th century class-society Britain than a resident of the Kingdom of Heaven. He continued to say it will be that some are to enjoy special company with the saints in Heaven in their mansions, while many simply can expect a meager living in our shack, hoping to catch a glimpse of the millenial banquet on the divine plasma.
I will agree with something he mentioned about the spiritual fruit in our life indicating our following Christ and it indicating reward, to an extent, but I know that some of the Bible's heroes did some pretty 'shack worthy' things while they were here. When I hear people go off on the "classes of heaven" I just wonder if they'll be up as high as they think.
For what it is worth; if they are right, and this rant is misplaced, then I conceed a shack in heaven is still world's better than anything we have here. If for no other reason but that Christ will be there, but so will all who follow Him. I wouldn't wish to be anywhere else.
