So far I've located 2 people in Gilbert, 1 in Mesa, and 1 in Tempe who received The Letter. My friend's letter mentioned his Club Level seats as being why he was selected but at least one person said they weren't in club. I'm bordering Phoenix and Glendale so perhaps they are delayed til Tues. That's all for now, first things first. See you tomorrow!

I am going down to tampa, but wont be able to get tix. I just plan to try and tailgate or party at a nearby bar and then celebrate afterwards. Anyone who is planning anything similar please let me know so we can hook up down there.

my letter...received today...says I can purchase two tickets for 525 each. The only way I get the tickets appears to be a) I must go to the cardinals ticket office and pay for them this week and b) pick up the tickets physically in tampa prior to super bowl. This obviously is only valid if the Cardinals win tomorrow...obviously..... zip code is 85259

I did not receive mine :( I've been a season tix holder since 1996 but a flex pack holder since the early 90's

Sickening story here. I got the letter too. Dad and I are on the same account with his mailing address at 85308. Last week, I asked him if he would go if we were offered, but he said he couldn't afford the trip. I told him that if we got the offer, I wanted to go, but I understood if he didn't want to join me. In his absence, I arranged for my daughter to join me on the trip.

So the letter comes today at a lower price than we originally expected ($525 each), and I ask him again. Is he sure he isn't going. He says no, but he's looking forward to making quite a profit on his ticket. I reminded him that it was his granddaughter who would have to pay any profit he asked for, and he said we should discuss it later.

I tried to drop it, but I just couldn't. I'm a nice guy. I've taken them on a Disney World vacation, I bought him a pool table, when family members are short, I provide money, and now he wants to soak me his scalping fee? I mean, if he just asked for money outright, I would give it in a second (I'm not rich, but I'm not broke either, I'm just a bleeding heart liberal).

After a while, I get another call letting me know that I'll get the ticket at face value, but he sure didn't appreciate the pressure I put on him to give up his profit.

He is a fan who has, in the past, decried the frugalness of the Bidwill family. Tonight, Bill was a lot more generous than my dad. I've never been so disillusioned.

Sorry to hear that Lloyd, you deserve better than that. Hopefully everything gets smoothed over, and I really hope that you didn't get in a squabble over nothing!
