TV Maps Week 7: Pats at Chargers

[Ron Sellers]

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I was curious as I see that this week's game in SD vs. the Titans is blacked-out. Did the Pats game end up being televised there?

Last week's game did sell out in San Diego, not long before the deadline.

The power of social media and the New England Patriots brand helped sell the few remaining tickets to Sunday’s Pats game against the Chargers in San Diego.

On Wednesday, the Chargers tweeted a ticket update with the following message: “1,000 general tickets must be sold by 1:15 p.m. Thursday to lift blackout. Tix available online at Chargers.com.” Not long after, the Pats tweeted: “Hey Patriots fans on the West Coast, if you want to see the Pats play the Chargers, go to Chargers.com to buy tickets.”

Within hours the tickets were gone and the Patriots estimated that half were bought by Left Coast New England fans.

“It’s the power of Twitter,” said Patriots spokesman Stacey James.

Thanks for the reply. It says on-line that 8,000 tickets remain for this week's game (vs. Tenn), so they don't expect a sell-out. I guess Pats fans travel better than Titans fans!

I think it has more to do with the fact that Pats fans are everywhere...and in large numbers. Some travel but I'm pretty sure most were from the San Diego area.

I know. It was said tongue-in-cheek. The fact that the home team is 2-5 probably has even more to do with it. If they had won last week, they might have some glimmer of hope, but this week they are facing a team many probably think will play even better than the Pats, so why bother?
