Super Bowl tickets for season ticket holders

[Brian in Mesa]

No, I'm not jinxing us. Regardless of which teams are in it - when do season ticket holders get notified if they have been selected and are able to purchase SB tix?

FWIW, 17.5% of all tickets go to the NFC Champ.

Raymond James Stadium normally seats 65,000 but can be expanded to more than 75,000, according to their website. Assuming they expand, that would mean 13,125 seats go to the Cardinals. The team will no doubt take a block, so maybe we guess there are 12,000 left for fans? The Cards sold about 45,000 playoff tickets to season ticket holders, so that's the lottery base. If the lottery odds are even then each one of those tickets has a 27% chance of getting the rights to buy a Super Bowl ticket. The odds may not be even - I would think that seniority would have an impact.

I'm making some educated guesses here. Like BIM I don't want to jinx us, just have to do some planning for the possibility, just like we know the Cards have to be doing this week. Anyone have any better info?

It better be known that if Matt is selected, we get those tickets. Superbowl = playoffs.

Wow quite a few. I wonder if you are a season ticket holder you get a chance at them? I also wonder if the ones that didnt pay for playoff tickets get a shot too?

 

[ChandlerCard]

It seems to me that in the letter we got about purchasing post-season tickets, that if we did NOT purchase them we would NOT be in the lottery for the NFC Winner's allotment, should the Cards make it. So based on that, if you didn't buy postseason tickets as a season ticket holder you won't be in the lottery. But - thats just my memory; maybe someone still has that letter and can confirm?

 

[Cheesebeef]

so, it's just a straight up lottery, huh? I mean, if you're a season ticket holder for 4 tickets and you win the lotto, does that mean you get all 4 is it like you get 1 ticket for every 2 that you buy? Anyone know?

Yes, it was quite specific in saying that you had to purchase playoff tickets to be eligible for Super Bowl tickets. I have no actual knowledge, but my suspicion is that the same weighted lottery would be used for ticket allocation (number of seats x years held).

 

[Lloydian]

In the lotteries for tickets they've held in the past, more seats/years got you more entries into the lottery, but each account chosen was allowed to purchase only two seats.

I hate to sound like a prick but that makes me happy many of you didnt purchase your playoff tickets

Better odds for me.

my pops better get at least two. He's had 3 tickets since the first awful MNF Football against Dallas when we ran a freaking fake FG with the pitch to Al Del Greco who started running forwards... backwards... from 30 yards out. There just can't be that many people who have had seats uninterrupted since 1988. I'm guessing AT MOST 8-12,000 people. Those are the people who deserve tickets if they can afford them.

 

[Lloydian]

Sadly, while I've had tickets since 1988, I was on a shared account with someone else for years and didn't get my own until 1997. Still, anyone who stayed on after Super Bowl XXX should have the inside track.

I was there for that.. ugh... Don't forget that the Cards were 7-4 that year prior to Lomax's injury and then went on to lose 5 straight..

I'm going to be greedy here, but IF the Cards make it to the super bowl they should give the ticket holders who have been there since the beginning, uninterrupted, first dibs on the tickets.

I know it'll be a lottery, but it would be nice to show some appreciation to those of use who have been with them since the VERY beginning.

oh, I remember. 23-0 versus San Fran, last second TD to roy green in the back of the endzone and inexplicable, but deliriously awesome shower of plastic Cardinals Cups from the entire upper deck. That's still in my top 5 moments of Cards history.

agreed. we've literally been through hell (every single game at SDS) and back. it won't work that way, but it should.

If I get chosen and he doesn't I'll just sell them to him for face. Actually no I won't.

Definately. Those plastic cups were great until they banned them a few years later..

Storming the field when they finally beat dallas.... I was down there helping tear down the goal posts.

One of my worst memories was playing the Broncos in the early 90's, i think.. It was close to a sell out but it was probably 60k bronco fans and 10-15k Cards fans.. Broncos won something like 41-0... Such a sad moment as a Cards fan.

yeah, I was there for that one also. Sat on the grass in bliss watching Granpda press conference which was put up on the Jumbotron. Also took the field and used to have chunks of grass (which my mom threw out) from the SD game. The pictures from that game were just classic. Me and my two brothers asked someone to take a pic of the three of us on the field and just as they took it, what had to be 15 people jumped in for just a monsterous picture of the three of us in the middle of 15 other completely random, but delirious Cardinals fans.

I think it was 37-0... and I can still remember watching Inside the NFL back then and the last shot of that highlight package was Vai Sikahema walking with his down into the tunnel which was just surrounded by Broncos fans.

The 28-0 ass-kicking from the Vikings in the rain with Herschel Walker back in like 1991 was another memorable fugly loss.

but enough with the fugly losses. Our greatest moment is yet to come and it's only... crap... it's STILL 6 DAYS AWAY!? Today's STILL MONDAY!

someone put me in a coma until Sunday or else I'm just gonna explode before the game even starts.

That was my 1st Cards game ever. Hooked since. Thanks Cheese.
