Last week's game did sell out in San Diego, not long before the deadline.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?
Patriots sell Chargers tickets with social media blitz - BostonHerald.com
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.
