I don't know about you all that live there but if I did, I'd run not walk to buy tickets and good ones.

This team is makeing all the right moves now, there will be playoffs in AZ, even dare I say a home game or two.

That stadium will fill up fast with band wagon fans, don't make a mistake buy extra cause you can sell them to pay for your own seats, it's done all the time just never in AZ before.

The Denver, Dallas, Chicago and Kansas City games are slam dunk sellouts.

I'm definately gonna make it to a game or two this season.

Hopefully I can still find some good single game tix.

There will be plenty of single game tickets. Bandwagon fans won't show up unless the Cards start winning. No one outside of the message board is going to show up because of Edge. 90% of the people who live here aren't from here. Wins will sell tickets.

Normally I would agree with you however with the new stadium opening this year the signing of a player like E. James will give a big boost on season ticket sales. But the Cards must market it correctly. However for the long run they must win games.

You're right. But notice I said 'single game tickets'. Season ticket sales will boost due to the fact mainly die hard fans are buying season tix but wins will ultimately gain more ticket sales overall.

The main Cardinals message board doubled its peak simultaneous users on line number shortly after James signed. If the Cardinals make any more noteworthy signings it could spark a frenzy.

I did it man! Three season duckets for brother (who just got back from Iraq - AZ National guard), wifey and ME!!! :D
Thanks for the "heads-up" and encouragement Shane!

Can't wait to pick seats!. I'm a 15 year Cardinals fan since '91, but 1st time season ticket holder!!! Whoo-hoo!!! :)

Wow....it looks like keeping my STs since the mid 90s turned out to be a good thing.

Row 2 baby....maybe Edge'll jump into the crowd, after a TD, and I can give him a helmet slap.

I think its going to be a case of "Come for the stadium, stay for the wins".

If we made zero moves this season, we still would likely sell out the first game or two. People are going to come out to see the building. But that novelty will wear off. Fans (especially bandwagon fans) are only going to show up if they think the team is for real.

Most football fans are casual fans, that aren't going to analyze moves we've made and determine if we'll win. They're going to say "same old Cards" regardless of who we'll sign. I've got lots of friends around the country and their first reaction isn't: "Wow the Cards have really improved". Instead its "Edge's numbers are really going to go into the toilet."

My belief is that the stadium will fill up and the bandwagon fans will pile in the first time we win a statement game. We bring the Chiefs, Broncos or Seahawks in and beat them, and Joe CasualFan is going to be on board. We play a team we're supposed to beat, and take them behind the woodshed, the guy in your office that doesn't follow the NFL much beyond his fantasy team is going to call his wife and tell her they should maybe pickup Cards tickets sometime.

What if the Cardinals go to the playoffs twice in a row, what do you think would happen then?

A waiting list.

That's really my point, you have to judge these things way early to get the good tickets, if you wait until it's obvious to everyone they are good, then everyone will already have tickets.

I expect good things this year.

We'll see I guess, these are still the Cardinals until proven otherwise.

I don't know about everybody else....but I'm not really looking forward to the bandwagon fans.

They are obnoxious, and will try to say they've been fans forever...but just never got seats.

Whatever, they are good for the team, I'll have to get used to them.

War having a reason to get used to Bandwagon fans. :thumbup:

I will be happy just to have a bandwagon.

Correct, single game tickets haven't even gone on sale yet (they can't be because the schedule isn't even out yet)

That is so awesome.

better a bandwagon Cardinal fan than an obnoxious fan for visiting team of the weekend. I have certainly had a enough of the latter
