wow, paying $110 for my Eagles ticket, FTL

[ice grillin you]

$106

but you could have had to pay for your own and then get effed in the ass by sarge on a second ticket

Second year in a row that has happened.  Last year, Minny-Eagles tickets were as cheap as $10 the week prior to the game.

I think there's a lesson in here somewhere, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure it out.

BTW - 80% chance I don't make the game now, meaning I'll either have to eat the ticket cost or sell them at a loss.

FTL.

theres no lesson if you want a huge group of tickets together....you have to get those early or you dont get them together

if you just want two or four its almost always better to wait

[hbionic]

Demon, people were giving them away 2 for $10 and what not.  I had to eat two tickets.

I remember - particularly the salsa you added to them to make them go down easier.

normally i would agree but theres groups of 20 together in the 200 level for like 70 a piece right now.  ridiculous.

[ice grillin you]

[phattymatty]

CINCINNATI -- Disappointed fans of the winless Cincinnati Bengals are trying to unload thousands of tickets for remaining home games, many of them well below face value.

The online ticket agency StubHub.com has 3,000 tickets for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. At least 4,000 tickets are available for each of the remaining games.

Some sellers don't care about making a profit. There are $64 tickets priced as low as $24.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, more than 4,100 tickets are unsold for the Bengals' Nov. 2 game against Jacksonville, and more than 5,000 tickets are currently available for games against Baltimore, Washington and Kansas City.

The Bengals are 0-6 after losing to the New York Jets last weekend.

Longtime fan Steve Carr told the Enquirer it's gotten so he can't even bear to watch the team on TV.

"It's not worth it," Carr, a longtime fan, told the newspaper. "I was yelling at the TV watching that game" Sunday, a 26-14 Cincinnati loss.

Coach Marvin Lewis said he shares that frustration and feels responsible, adding he hopes fans will wait patiently for a turnaround.

If he's a longtime fan, wouldn't he be accustumed to the Bengals sucking?

As much as this sucks, I gotts to back out....startin the new job on the 17th...

[Father Demon]

If there is anyone that has wanted to go, but didn't get tickets, my pair is listed on eBay.  Might as well get them at a steal.

[MadMarchHare]

Allright......so who the hell is still going to this?  And where are we tailgating?
