Bandwagon clearing? Game not sold out

[CardLogic]

stubhub still has over 8000 tickets for the game. I'd guess with the economy still lagging in arizona a lot of season ticket holders couldn't afford the playoff tickets.

Stubhub is down to ~4700 tickets now. Thats a pretty good drop since yesterday!

Stubhub are all re-sale (mostly scalper) tickets, therefore not counting as unsold seats.

If there are 65000 seats and 10-12 k of them are packer fans, is that really a problem?

Cards fans would outnumber them 5 to 1 FCOL...

It is unreasonable to think an entire stadium would only be filled with Home team fans especially in transplant citities like the PHX area.

That is normal for a Packers, Steelers or Cowboys game in any stadium. Those teams just travel well.

definitely, sorry my point didn't make sense with the topic of the thread. But I found it interesting that the number of available tickets even from a re-sell perspective are moving quick.

Lets just hope that a good number of re-sell went to Cardinals fans...

Was just watching the local news here in the Milwaukee market. They were saying there has been a pretty big demand in the last 24 hours for flights from Milwaukee to Phoenix

The best thing to do to people who vastly overpay to enter enemy territory and buy a ticket to see their team in the playoffs is to stomp them into oblivion and force them to contemplate all the things they could of bought with the money they spent to see their team violated in front of their eyes.

This discourages future purchase decisions and preserves more of a home field atmosphere so it's the Cardinals civic duty to show up and teach the cheeseheads no one comes into our house and expects to be entertained, you expect an ass whooping and pray for better.

Arizona depends on tourists for its economy. Jobs and businesses here in Arizona depend on it. Arizona should be happy for any Wisconsin money that flys into the state.

In Wisconsin where I'm originally from, the Cubs fans would usually take over Miller Park. It doesn't really bother me though as long as they aren't starting fights or something. So Wisconsin gets their stadium taken over too.

This is going to be a shocker, but that post by conrad went over your head.

He was saying paying thousands of dollars to watch the NFC champs stomp your team would make the chances of you doing that in the future less likely. I don't see where you think he's being a tough guy.

He just wants to see the Cardinals beat that Packer azz. As do I.

Yep. That was pretty lame, BTP.

The irony is that as a person that has regularly read this board for six plus years, I always get the impression that Dobbler is a guy who would back up his words, even though he's never acted like an internet toughguy. BTP's picture is pretty damn funny but Dobbler is the last guy it applies to. I guess that's what happens when someone shows up here who doesn't know the lay of the land, is going to take offense easily and won't bother with reading posts carefully. Whatever. I've got to say I haven't seen any of these Packers yet that are very impressive.

Okay, how about another reminder of last year? Last year, it wasn't only the Cardinals who needed an extension for playoff ticket sales. Minnesota needed an extension for their game against Philadelphia. It happens. Local Packers fans just got done shelling out big bucks to go to a meaningly regular season game only to need to find more dough to shell out on a playoff game.

This game will sell out. The clear majority in the stadium will be wearing red. If a regular season Rams game can sell out, this can sell out (And even if it's close, $20,000 from Channel 10 for broadcast rights? It's a no brainer!).

From what I can find online, so far only the Bengals have sold out. Keep watching the news. By the end of today, they'll announce the sellout.
