You would be amazed at what kind of playoff ticket you can get for $100.

Even with last year's success the Chargers are still heavily reliant on the visting fans to fill up their stadium and since there was only a week's notice for the Titans the supply of tickets is huge.

Its supposed to be a rainy weekend but still...

Yeah right - that must be why they blocked all east coast IPs from buying tickets to last year's matchup with the Pats. This is just karma for what they did to us Pats fans last year. I hope they don't sell out and get blacked out in SD.

Do Playoff games get blacked out for home team?

***SoCal Bong*** · 01-03-2008, 06:29 PM

Yeah but do know how many California Pats fans there are? There were PLENTY of us there at that game despite that restriction.

The Chargers ability to sell out is all based on the opponent's fan base.

This afternoon they were given 24 hours to sell out and lift the blackout.

From the sounds of it, it's still pretty iffy unless a corporation comes in to buy the remaining tix.

Yes. I believe the last playoff game to be blacked out was in Miami around 1999 or 2000 when the Dolphins hosted the Colts.

There are 500 tickets left to be sold before 1pm PST Friday. If they don't sell, I'm sure the local CBS affiliate already has a deal in place to pick them up in order to show the game.

A few months ago if you will recall, 1.5 Million people were evacuated and several thousand people lost their homes along with everything else.

Yeah, pretty friggin hilarious we're about 500 tickets short of a sell-out. You are a complete moron, grow up.

Perhaps Karma will come knocking on your door for posting such a ridiculous thread.

I have all the sympathy in the world for those people. However, my brother lives in Orange County with a lot of "Charger fans", these people are not hurting for money. Not even a little bit. It's just not on their list of priorities.
