Cheap tix in San Diego

I guess the San Diego market is smaller than we think. Reports are out they can't sell out the playoff game and are facing a TV Blackout"

Like L A, they must have too many options..watch the ships come and go I am sure is one.

that is pothetic...The Eagles, even though obv not in the playoffs could probably sell twice the amount of seats available. I thought that was a decent sized market

its a combo of the rain, a large number of people affected by the fires can't afford to shell out 100+ for a ticket, and at the time the money was due for season ticket holders the team was only 7-5 and some fans were probably a lot more down on the team than they are now. The bucs were also not sold out fyi

yea...they've had sold out reg seasons for 2 years and then all of a sudden wont sell out a playoff game? there's a lot of things at play here bc...dont be a dumbass. Chargers asking season ticketholders to throw down 1k plus for 3 playoff game tickets a month early, when its more than likely it will only be 1 is retarded. Not to mention its right around the holidays when a lot of people are broke...please just stfu bc. u dont know shit

your one of them im guessing?

A 2 year streak of sold out reg season games isnt sh*t

Bills games have sold out when its sleating or below 0 and no playoff chances, light rain and a game doesnt sell out?

Heavy rain sat, light rain sunday is the forcast

Now all the forest fires and that i can understand, Ive been through multiple ice storms and hurricanes (just 1 hurricane, 3 evacutions) and know what natural disasters can do.

but there are more then enough people in the area not directly effected to fill a football stadium, real nice of whoever to boot all the effected people out of the stadium who needed help bye the way. So the chargers wouldnt have to play on the road.... classy

the major thing is the fact that they screwed the season ticketholders by making them fork out the cash for 3 playoff games when there was no way in hell that was ever going to happen. I'm sorry, but around the holidays most people dont just have a grand laying around to give to the chargers only to hold it for a month til after christmas and then give it back to you and say..."whoops" i guess we dont have 3 playoff games. Especially when the team is 7-5...now they're seeing the reprocussions of that. I'm sure a big number of season ticket holders didnt buy playoff tickets because of that, and now that a large number are selling their tickets less than face value because of the rain they can get them cheaper than actually having to buy them at the box office

lol.
the holidays is a weak excuse. Everyone had that same problem.
bc is right there should be enough people to fill the stadium.
on the other hand, its crazy they were asking that kind of money for 3 games when it is basically a lock that it will only be 1 game at home. would you get a refund?

yes but now u only get 1 game refund because there is still a chance of an afc title game. so you still have the other half of the money being held
