Chargers Granted Ticket Extension To Avoid Black Out
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/footb...86135285_x.htm

Chargers COO Jim Steeg said he was surprised the game hadn't yet sold out, we're not, since every regular-season game did. He said a number of factors were involved, including the holidays and the fact that the Chargers were 7-5 when ticket invoices were sent out, yeah that's it......not.
Prices range from $110 to $135.

Steeg said no companies have approached the Chargers about buying the remaining tickets in order to lift the blackout.
because nobody cares!!!!!!!!

It's the playoffs Charger fans get your asses out there and support your team. God knows you might not see them in the playoffs again for a long time.

People in San Diego does not want to go to the game. The city has already screwed them over with all the corrupt government officials running the city. There isn't anything better though than seeing a bunch charger fans taking all bolts decals from their cars when they lose. I love it.

I think the wildfires have something to do with this... All the regular season games were sold out BEFORE the season started. Then after all the terrible fires we had so many lost homes and valuables. Maybe there are alot out there that just can't go out and pay all that money for their tickets...


Anyhow, I have my tickets and i'll be going to the game. Just like every other game for the last 15 years... Go Bolts.

What do the Chargers and Bucs have in common?



Neither can sell out a PLAYOFF game.

All joking aside, I think Chargers for life may be right about the Fires.

I think the fires have nothing to do with it. I think the ticket prices have a lot to do with it.

That may be too, you almost have to take out a second morgage to see your team live in the playoffs nowadays.

Yeah, and regular season too. Regular season tickets are now $90 each when they were about $50 5 years ago. Everything is getting more expensive...

Have they gone up from recent years? When the Chargers were bad they didn't change but when we became good they started going up $10 a year.

Yes, the whole NFL tixs have gone up weather you are the Pats or Dolphins. Bigger demand= More profit for the NFL. SAD, Very sad.

There were plenty of people in San Diego who weren't affected by the fires at all (as evidenced by the Chargers playing in front of a full stadium only a few days after Quallcomm was a fire shelter). The Chargers were 7-5, not 13-0, so Charger fans decided to act like Charger fans. It's no different than when the Chargers went 9-7 and their season opener the following year didn't even sell out.
