OK - 'fess up! Who had the nuts to send in their playoff ticket $$???

[82CardsGrad]

I have been holding off as, after the 9er loss, I fully expected us to lose to the Browns, ending our post season hopes... However, in typical Cards fashion they are making this a very difficult, agonizing decision... 'Course, the chances of us making the playoffs AND hosting a game are quite remote...
The $ is due by 12/10th, so it gives us this weekend to see what transpires... But have any of you coughed up the $$??

I called them and payed the $519.00 the day I recieved the letter.

No harm if they dont go or host one. Just makes the season ticket cost easier to swallow this coming may/june.

I know... timing kinda sucks with the holidays though...

Thats true. I guess you wouldnt know but if you get chosen for SB tickets and you didnt pay you will be REALLY PISSED!

 

[Sandan]

will pay when I ghve to

 

[Shane]

will pay when I ghve to

?????

meaning on the 10th? Or next year?

Wait, if you don't pay for playoff tickets you won't be able to buy super bowl tickets if you are chosen? Was that in the letter?

yes that was in the letter. They said that you would still be in the drawing but that if you didnt put the money down you wouldnt be given the option of buying them. THEY ARE SMART!

 

[PoolBoy]

yea they worded the letter weird. i dont think you have to buy playoff tix to be in the drawing. or at least that's how i read it.

It was very clear. They stated that you would be in the drawing you just couldnt buy them if you won. Dumb but thats what it said.

 

[PoolBoy]

o... it was hard to read, kool-aid was all over mine.

I believe once again Shane is mistaken.

Shane that's only from the "Participating team allotment".

It has nothing to do with the "host team allotment".

Hawk is 100% correct. Just found my letter. Thats exactly what it said.

 

[TigToad]

SB tickets

if you read it carefully it said...

If the Cardinals MAKE the Superbowl, but you did not buy play off tickets.. you could not get into the participating team drawing for tickets.

If you did not pay you CAN buy tickets if you are chosen from the host team allotment.

 

[BigRedRage]

If I had alot of money I would have right away but I am broke so I am waiting until after this game to even bother, if we lose this game there is no chance in hell we host a game.

 

[BigRedRage]

isnt it due on the 14th anyway?

Nope... the 10th...

Dad is the other half of my account. He was on the dark side after the 49ers game, so I had to save up to buy the tickets by myself, but it's done.

Realistically, what are the odds we host a playoff game? Unless we pull out the Division, we'll likely be the last team in via the wild card. Is there any way we could actually host without winning the division?

I'm not sure if I would pay, even if we beat Seattle. We may make the playoffs, but I doubt we have a home game.

Absolutely none. You have to win the division to host a game, or be a top 2 seed, which almost always wins the division anyway

Exactly. So those of us that want to purchase playoff tickets better hope Seattle goes into a tailspin after we beat them.

This is why I am waiting 'til we after we play this Sunday... If we beat the Hawks, I'll most likely plunk down the $$. But if we lose (which I am expecting), I'll keep the $$ in my pocket...

Exactly my plan as well. Will this be a "costly" game???
