Seahawks won’t sell NFC Championship tickets to fans from California

Sorry 49ers fans.

By NICK SCHWARTZ 56 minutes ago @Nick_Schwartz


Are you a 49ers (or Seahawks) fan in California hoping to see the NFC Championship game in person next Sunday at CenturyLink Field? Good luck finding a ticket.

Tickets go on sale Monday, but the Seahawks are restricting sales to fans with billing addresses in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Fans with billing addresses in California will have to resort to secondary market services like StubHub, where the cheapest available ticket is currently going for $459.

There is no damn way I would pay 460 bucks to go see a game. I don't care what game it was.

No shit. A close family member would have to be playing

They'd have to be giving free blowjobs from teh Jer's cage girls.

What if it's Charlotte instead?

I paid 300 per ticket to watch us lose to the cardinals in AZ.

That was maybe 10 years ago.

Busting one in teh Jer's daughter's mouth?

Sounds priceless to me.

Fwiw I saw Ed Guapo try his best to hit Greg eliis in the face with a foreign object at the training camp one year.

 

[NoDak]

I'd spend that if it was a game I really wanted to see.

Spoken like a true Oily. Now they are going to accuse you of trying to be like ole J.J..

 

[Genghis Khan]

As would I. If I had that kind of money to burn and it was a big enough game, sure I'd do it. I'd have been even more likely in my younger and more single days.

Any Dallas Cowboy game out there is gonna cost over $300 per ticket to sit in the lower level, FWIW, unless you get them straight from the team -- and they don't sell them outside Texas either, as of last time I called in.

$459 for Championship game seats would be a steal if it was a Cowboys game.

Too bad that will never happen in our lifetimes.

 

[Cotton]

Steal or not, I wouldn't pay it. I had rather watch it at home than pay that much to have to deal with the crowds and traffic.

 

[L.T. Fan]

Seattle was sold out within minutes according to a relative of mine who lives there.

 

[midswat]

On the face of it, I'd say yeah I'd pay nearly 500 to watch an NFC title game live (provided my team was in it).

But then the longer I thought about it, thinking of all the things I could buy with that money, how much better the presentation is on television, how horrible I'd feel watching a loss like that live, etc.... I'd talk myself out of it.

Fortunately, like Booze said, I'll never have to worry about making that decision.

Thanks Jerry.

 

[jsmith6919]

Thanks Jerry.

See, he does care about us fans

 

[NoDak]

@ poor people

 

[Cotton]

@ poor people

I can afford it. I just think it's silly to pay that much when I can sit at home and drink much cheaper beer and not have to deal with the stupid people.
