Re: Dec. 17th 1:00 pm EST Washington @ New Orleans
Just a quick post with an update on New Orleans tickets.
It seems New Orleans has been making a push to fill season ticket holders, and they have had the largest increase in sales in years. This is great news for the city, however not so good news for us. Our initial purchase of the twenty tickets was supposed to happen this past Monday, however we are being told that this is going to be put back a bit as sales for season tickets are at an all time high, and the “Boss” says ALL group sales for single games are on hold.
We will now be talking to them almost daily until we have the green light. We have our twenty tickets spoken for by you guys, so the minute we get the word tickets are on sale, we will make the purchase, send out emails to all of the first twenty people, and get the tickets to you.
Last season we put together the road game to AZ. Our initial purchase was around 50 tickets. I think we ended up getting 78 tickets in all, which was all we could get. Many of you [around another 50 requests] came in the last week before the game for tickets to that game. There was maybe another 200 people who also knew we were going to be there, joined our huge tailgate party, and had bought their own tickets in and around the stadium. While we had a major showing in AZ, there were still many people who missed that game because they waited until the last second.
If you think you may want to go, but you want to wait, don’t. Get a ticket, and if you can’t go let us know, and we will help you get it sold. I fully expect some of the same from last year, and I know we will have people wanting tickets last minute.
I’ll update everyone the minute we make the group purchase.
