Playoff ticket info just annouced (Merged)

[Scourge]

Hello. As the title suggest, I'm wondering when playoff tickets will become available. I don't have season tickets obviously, but I would love to make it to this game...

Does anyone have an idea?


Individual game tickets for Broncos playoff game[s] at INVESCO Field at Mile High will go sale on a date to be determined by the National Football League. Please check our website for further details once a home game has been confirmed.


Well, a home game has been confirmed :egbgb:

so it looks like we're waiting on the NFL. I just have a feeling that whatever tickets go on sale will be snatched up quickly, and I want to do some of the snatching. So if anyone has some info...Thanks!

Go Broncos!

[delany]

First playoff game at the new Migh High. Who ISN'T going?

We need boatloads of ticket information.

Instead of wondering who is representing..I want to know who WON'T be at the game.

[Scourge]

Haha, yeah. Those were my thoughts, but I don't think the stadium is quite big enough for everyone who will be wanting tickets. And so? I mean to try and get myself a few asap. I really want to get some from the source, and not try to deal with scalpers and the like.. that is guarenteed to burn a much larger hole in my bank account than I need.

15,000 seats will be available! Get em while they're hot!

BRONCOS PLAYOFF TICKETS ON SALE THURSDAY
DENVER — The Denver Broncos announced Tuesday that single-game tickets for the AFC Divisional Playoff Game scheduled for either Jan. 14 or Jan. 15, 2006, will go on sale beginning Thursday, Dec. 29, at 11 a.m. through Ticketmaster and the Broncos’ ticket office.

The Divisional Playoff Game will be the first Broncos playoff game ever at INVESCO Field at Mile High. The exact date will be determined by the National Football League at the conclusion of the NFL regular season. The final standings in the NFL will determine the playoff eligible teams, and the results of the Wild Card Games (January 7-8) will determine the Broncos’ opponent. Denver has secured home field advantage for this game by virtue of the team’s number two AFC seed in the playoff format. The possibility of the AFC Championship Game being hosted in Denver will depend on the outcome of the AFC Divisional Playoff games.

There will be approximately 15,000 seats on sale to the general public. Reserved seat prices will range from $53 to $110 per ticket. Club Seats will range from $240 to $395 per ticket. Colorado Legislation excludes the half-price ticket provision. There will be no tickets sold at half price.

The playoff tickets will be available for purchase at any Ticketmaster outlet (including Foley’s and Christy Sports), Ticketmaster.com, 303-830-TIXS, Ticketmaster’s Charge-By-Phone and the Broncos’ ticket office. There is a limit of six tickets per person and/or household. Historically, Broncos playoff tickets sell out within 20 minutes of the public sale. Ticketmaster will have access to the same inventory as the Broncos’ ticket office. With the growing popularity of Internet sales, larger TM Charge by Phone staff, and multiple outlet locations, it is strongly recommended that consumers use the resources that Ticketmaster offers.

There will be a limited number of ADA seating available for qualified patrons. ADA patrons may call the Broncos’ ADA hotline at (720) 258-3337 beginning Dec. 29 at 11 a.m. All ADA ticket orders will be processed in order of receipt as they are day and time stamped by the ADA hotline. Any call before Dec. 29 at 11 a.m. will not be honored.

“As in the past when Broncos single-game tickets were made available, there is a wide assortment of prices, locations and seat groupings,” said Rick Nichols, the Broncos’ vice president of ticket operations and business development. “There are single tickets at every price, but most of the tickets grouped together will be in pairs on our upper level. Our season ticket account holders had the opportunity to purchase their season ticket locations for potential playoff games earlier this month, and with a strong playoff renewal rate, a limited amount of availability was created.“

Playoff Ticket Tips

·Buyers must have a valid U.S. Government photo ID or a valid foreign passport.

·There will be a limit of six tickets per person and/or household allowed. This will be verified by Ticketmaster by name and credit card usage — Buyers who attempt to circumvent this process will have all ticket orders canceled.

·All sales are final and there are no exchanges, cancellations or refunds. Please note: The AFC Divisional Playoff game could be played on either Saturday, Jan. 14, OR Sunday, Jan. 15; times have yet to be announced.

Ticketmaster outlets will also be available for walk-up sales. However, Ticketmaster fees of $8 per ticket and applicable convenience fees will apply.

·For best results, the Broncos recommend the online option, www.ticketmaster.com, to avoid long lines while gaining access to the same ticket inventory.

No ticket-purchase lines will be allowed to form at INVESCO Field at Mile High until 90 minutes before tickets go on sale at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 29.

15,000 seems like an awful lot of tickets considering this is the 1st ever playoff game at Invesco. I'm surprised more season ticketholders didn't purchase playoff tickets.

That's what I thought. I'd guess chances are pretty good of getting a playoff seat if you act early although every scalper in America is going to be snatching them up at the same time. I'd suggest ordering a seat the second they go on sale if you plan on going.

Thats crap, so these are not like the half price ones that you have to pick up at will call huh........these are scalpable tickets, so those low lifes can buy off ticketmaster the same as the rest of us?

[RMT]

I'm a season ticketholder, so I'm all set. In fact, my dad and I have three extras in the south stands.

Even if scalpers snatch up many of the 15,000 seats, I'm not sure the market will be there for them to make a lot of money. The demand for season ticketholders has already been met, people will spend less after Christmas, and those who can't afford going to a regular season game will be even less inclined to spend for a playoff game.

I could be wrong, but I think the scalpers will be in over their head if they snatch a lot of those seats.

[RMT]

If the team wanted to put a stop to that, they could require people to pick them up at "will call," but with 15,000 seats unspoken for, "will call" would have to open early and fans would be waiting for a LONG time to get their seats. What I recommend is buying two extras. That would give the scalpers less to work with and ensure that the tickets would go to someone else who wouldn't have to pay an arm and a leg to go.

To me it would make sense for these tickets to be only available via will call. This would eliminate scalpers purchasing them all together or atleast making it darn near impossible to resale. I'm not sure what the tix master policy is in this case but that is the case with the 1/2 price tix.

I was thinking that if there are ticket sales at a physical location with an actual line and not the 'net, Meck could plow OF1 through the line, get people scattered, and then empty O-Maners out of OF1 to the front of the line. Or not.

[Taco John]

Cool... I *think* I might be able to make it. I've got an old Delta ticket that I didn't use from two years ago that I could try to use for flight credit. Now I just need to get a game ticket. If the stars align just right, I might be able to pull this off!

Good luck to all!

And I will be out of the country for 2 weeks over that time period... Sure hope I can catch the games in Puerto Vallarta :)

Yeah, I was wondering about that too!

[RMT]

Man, they sure do stick it to those making online/phone purchases. Ticketmaster "fees" people to death. Of course, that will cut into the scalpers profits, which is fine with me.

I'm glad I paid for mine when season ticketholders had the chance :) That said, I've still got three extras.

The Broncos force season ticket holders to shell out money for two playoff games before the Broncos have even clinched a playoff spot....15,000 seems pretty light.

Boy I bet there will be some big fights breaking out if the Broncos get two home playoff games. "Why the hell didn't you pay for the second game........" Pats made us pay for 2 games even if little or no chance for game 2.

Crowpointer, they will if there is a second game. When you pay online, your credit card gets charged immediately for the first game. If Indy loses, your credit card gets charged for the second game. You can't just say I only want tickets for one game if there ends up being more than one game. It's just that you don't have to pay for it until it is confirmed that there will be a second game. Even if you pay for both games up front, you get a refund for any games not played, either by having it applied to next year's cost or writing in for a refund check.

I like your system better. We have no choice. Pay both games at the same time. If no second game (this happened last year as well) excess money goes to your account. I'm going to go online tommorow to see if I can get some tickets. It seems like there is a pretty good chance Pats are coming out to Denver. IF I get some tickets and Pats don't come to Denver I will throw out to the Mane at face value. If I don't get tickets and Pats do go I need a referral for a good ticket broker.

[OrangeShadow]

im gonna try for tickets.

2 questions tho

does ticketmaster actually sell em for face value

will they be seeling field level seats?

Yes, ticketmaster sells field level seats (though there are far more upper level) and all are face value.

Crow - if you are forced to go the broker route, I've always used denverticketco.com and can vouch for them. They are a little pricey, but are far cheaper than any broker selling Pats playoff tickets (decent field level seats can be had for $300 at Mile High, whereas that may just get you in the door for Gillette with most brokers around here).

[ND Bronco Fan]

Buyers must have a valid U.S. Government photo ID or a valid foreign passport.

What is that for?

[orange crusher]

Buyers must have a valid U.S. Government photo ID or a valid foreign passport.

What is that for?

I was wondering the same thing. I bought a couple half priced tickets through ticketmaster for a regular season game. They had to be picked up by the buyer at will call. You have to show an id to confirm that you were the person that purchased the tickets and go directly in the stadium. It prevents people from scalping tickets. I didn't see anywhere that these would not be mailed out and would have to be picked up at will call but this leads me to believe that might be the case. You might want to check this out before you buy tickets crow. If you purchase them, you might not be able to sell them to anyone else.

[RMT]

Yes, they do sell them for face value, BUT they "fee" buyers to death. There's a "processing charge" on top of an "online/phone order fee."

Yes, but no more than any regular season game (or concert for that matter). It's been ticketmaster's signature maneuver for all events the last few years.

[RMT]

I just called the DB Ticket Office and the man I spoke with said that there will be a "select few seats in the 1st level because 'organization' requests for those seats are still coming in" while most of what is available is "upper level." So you may be better off searching for ONE pair in the lower level instead of 6 in a row. Otherwise, the system will take you to the "best available 6 in a row" which will be upper level.

Also, he said that buyers will have the option of "will call" or "mail" when purchasing tickets. I suggested that the Broncos make that clear on their website because of the confusion caused by "having to have a photo ID."

"organization requests" - WTF is that? You mean to tell me that "organizations" get first chance at the tickets before they go on sale to the die hard fans?

[ak1971]

Since it looks like upper levels are going to be the ones available. Request 502 and lets make it the OM section.

[orange crusher]

...or 510.

[RMT]

"organization requests" - WTF is that? You mean to tell me that "organizations" get first chance at the tickets before they go on sale to the die hard fans?

Apparently. That stinks ... they'll snap up the best seats left before REAL fans who've toiled for decades as Broncos' faithful get a chance at the tickets.

Regardless, I'm thinking of snagging a set of 4 in the first level, if possible. I already have my tickets to the game but hate seeing scalpers get their hands on tickets.

[dbfan4life]

please let me get a ticket, please let me get a ticket, please let me get a ticket......

There are 15,000 available, so I'm sure you'll get what you need (not necessarily WHERE you want to sit, but you'll get seats).

I've already got three extras, just in case you don't get what you you're looking for :)

[ludo21]

If we make it to the AFC champoionship game and its at home. I will then officially break down call in sick, quit, whatever it takes to get their.

Cool, I'll keep that in mind.:thumbs:

[estragand]

To add/clarfiy to what was said earlier..... I've heard that the majority of the lower section seats are only available as singles. So if you're one of those people who has friends, you probably won't be able to sit next to each other in the lower sections.

Upper sections supposedly have seats next to each other.

Ticketmaster will nab you about 8 bucks per ticket. However, if you order online, they'll add an additional 2.50-5.00 per ticket as an "online conveince fee". So if you're watching your budget, you may want to stick the phone or the box-offices.

Honestly, not to troll too much, but if ANYONE posts "golly, I wish I could go" again... I'm sending you a punt in the groin.

[dbfan4life]

golly, i wish i could go. _i_O_i_

send me a ticket ****er and i won't say it again.

[SportinOne]

I will be buying 2 tickets tomorrow, that much is for sure.

There is a chance i won't be able to make the game. I live on the West coast and it's not like i can just drive up to the lot... so.. my question is..

if i buy tickets tomorrow, what is the best option as far as ticket retrieval in case i have to sell these to someone else? Can i simply choose will call and then just call in and change the name when sold? Or should i use ticket fast and then send the person the file?

I'm pretty sure i'll make all the necessary moves to get out to Denver for this game.. but nothings 100.

One thing is for sure... if i cant make the game, tickets will be sold at face value to a member of the mane, and not on Ebay.

[Jens1893]

"organization requests" - WTF is that? You mean to tell me that "organizations" get first chance at the tickets before they go on sale to the die hard fans?

Of course, what do you expect? If you think that is scandalous, you should have a look at the selling arrangements for World Cup tickets here next summer. Out of roughly 3.4m avalailable tickets only 50% go to the fans directly, with the
rest going to sponsors etc.

From top to bottom - Media/TV companies/German football federation as hosts/Partners, sponsors etc./not participating countries/team allocation/VIPs, boxes etc./open sale

I wouldn´t take risks and let them send the tickets to you. There might be some trouble if you´re trying to change the name afterwards as they might thing you´ve sold them on for a profit etc. I´ve also seen that they want you to show your credit card and the passport at the will call so I guess that might not be the best option if you can´t make it.

The Mane will be represented in both sections so take your pick. I'm in 510 and Ak's in 502. I might make a stab for lower level today though.

Dude, I just want to go to the game! I imagine I will meet all of you at the tailgates anyway!

[i4jelway7]

waiting patiently

[RhymesayersDU]

waiting patiently
You and everybody else! ;)

[BMF Bronco]

I'm fuggin dyin' here!

[SportinOne]

i'm assuming that if you want a specific section like 502 or 510 you'd have to call in and talk to someone right?

So what's the over/under on how fast these tickets sell... i'm gonna say... 8 minutes.

[BMF Bronco]

dont say that!!!

[RhymesayersDU]

You can't request a section via ticketmaster.com

You can request a certain level, based on price. But as far as seats in a specific section, that's a no-go.

And from what I've heard, they usually sell out in 20 minutes... But who knows.

[BMF Bronco]

damn!

[BMF Bronco]

damn! 3

I'd say closer to 15. 15,000 tickets is a LOT to sell.

[bfoflcommish]

searching searching searching...wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[RMT]

wait time is "approximately 8 minutes"? what is that?

[BMF Bronco]

I have 15 minutes or more!!!!!!!! WTF

[SportinOne]

my wait time is 4 minutes???? wtf they will be gone... hurry god damnit

[Sideburn]

my wait time has been less than 1 minute for 4 minutes now

[bfoflcommish]

wait time is "approximately 8 minutes"? what is that?

I have 4 browesers up with diff price ranges and all say the same!!!

[RMT]

I have 15 minutes or more!!!!!!!! WTF

how many are you wanting?

[RhymesayersDU]

Boooo, I'm waiting 9 minutes, but I have a feeling I'm gunna have to pay out the ass with a broker..

[SportinOne]

well.. i have a feeling that i'm gonna get screwed...

[bfoflcommish]

I have 1 minute, 2 5 minute and a 10 minute wait??

[BMF Bronco]

how many are you wanting?
2

[RMT]

great ... I search for two in the $104 price range and get "no tickets match your request, please, search again."

[BMF Bronco]

I have two screens going

[bfoflcommish]

aaarg this sucks!!!!!!!!!!

[BMF Bronco]

One for 90 and one for 73

[bfoflcommish]

my 5 minute wait just went up to 10....lol not funny but what else can you do?

[BMF Bronco]

now the time is going back up?! this is irritating.

[RhymesayersDU]

great ... I search for two in the $104 price range and get "no tickets match your request, please, search again."
Same thing happened to me. I searched 90 dollar price level and got nothing, now I'm waiting in line again for best available, any price.

[RMT]

2

That's what I'm searching for. I already have 3 extras but wanted to get 2 more that were in the 1st level. My 3 are in the south stands, which really is a great place to watch a game.

I'm set, even if I don't get what I want at Ticketmaster.

[Dandaman]

woohoo!!! I'm going to the game!!! Got seats in section 535, row 12. GO BRONCOS!!!

[RMT]

Ticketmaster sucks, period.

[RMT]

woohoo!!! I'm going to the game!!! Got seats in section 535, row 12. GO BRONCOS!!!

If that's the best they have available, I'm glad I'm not finding anything.

[BMF Bronco]

none available in the 90

[RMT]

3 more minutes of waiting :(

[ak1971]

If you just get a ticket its pretty easy to move around in the upper levels.

[Beantown Bronco]

I've been getting the scrolling "searching" bar since 1:01.....this is painful.

[shakenbake]

I put in for any price ticket and got the $305 option

[bfoflcommish]

none available in 3 prices ranges except for club...uhhh no thank you at $300.00



I will take my chances with friends and family..lol

[RMT]

If you just get a ticket its pretty easy to move around in the upper levels.

I think it'll be more difficult to do so at a playoff game. There will be a lot less "no shows," so people will pretty much be stuck where they're at (unless they are seated next to some friendly folks who don't mind playing musical chairs).

[Orange4Life]

Call the Salt Lake TM!! NO WAITING or Busy Signal 801-325-7328.

[i4jelway7]

got 1 in section 119

[RhymesayersDU]

I got 2 tix, ****tiest seats possible, but hell, for the playoffs, I just want to be inside the stadium... It will be fun.

Maybe! I've only been to a couple games so far at Invesco, all lower level... This will be an experience to say the least.

[BMF Bronco]

woohoo!!! I'm going to the game!!! Got seats in section 535, row 12. GO BRONCOS!!!
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH MUTHAFUGGA! SECTION 536 ROW 21!

[bfoflcommish]

Looks like we'll be having that beer sooner rather than later huh?

[RhymesayersDU]

Just curious, how many rows are there in the 500 sections?

[dbfan4life]

Ha! Ha! Just kidding! I'm there baby!!!!!!!WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!:egbgb:

[ak1971]

Just curious, how many rows are there in the 500 sections?


Depends on where you are. In mine there are 26. In some of the others I think there are 40-45

[Orange4Life]

Got 4 tickets in 325!!!

[Crowpointer]

I got one in 122 and My buddy got one (for me ) in 110. Now all the Pats have to do is make it there.

[MowrMowr]

I got 2 in 522 and a single in 511...would have had another pair except my co-worker rebooted one of my computers exactly at 11:00AM!!! GRRRRRRR

[Sideburn]

they are sold out now...atleast online

[BMF Bronco]

Looks like we'll be having that beer sooner rather than later huh?
Two weeks my friend, two weeks!

[TheChamp24]

Me, my brother and my dad were able to score 3 together so that makes our 2 tickets that we had due to season tickets available. Anybody want them?

[i4jelway7]

what section they in jth?

[Scourge]

Well, I started a search right at 11:00 for 2 tickets, any section, any price, and I didn't get ****. Agh. So angry right now.



So, is there any chance someone has an extra couple tickets? I don't care where they are... but I need to go to this game.

****. **** **** **** ****. Damnit.

[Slade]

I Got 2 And 2 All In 500's

I want them! Haha

[Taco John]

Unfortunately, I'm not going to make it to the game. I have too much going against me right now. My boss informed me yesterday that we might be flying out on that Monday for a company kickoff with a client. He said he's let me know for sure either this Friday, or Monday at the latest (groan). But then, I just called Delta to see if I could use this old plane ticket that I've had for years that I never used, and apparently it's too old and I'm out of luck... Which means I'd have to buy a new ticket... Heh. Not after Christmas. I'd have to forfeit my 10 time pass at Mount Hood Meadows, and there's no way I want to sacrifice snowboarding for an entire season.

Tough decisions had to be made. Oh well. Looks like the tough decision now is whether I'm ordering Subway or Pizza Hut for game day.

[i4jelway7]

looks like the $395 seats are still available.... besides the price how come no one wants them

[SportinOne]

So, what's the deal with the club seats? They look to be the most expensive, yet they aren't as close as the ones in the 100's

I picked up a couple at the goal line after choosing best available.. i figured i didn't have time to go back and get a different set after waiting 10 minutes the first time...

i know these can't be luxury boxes.. but what does club have the field level doesn't? thanks

I don't care about the cold... I just want to be on the Broncos sideline

[dbfan4life]

when will they announce that actual day? after 1st rd? all the hotels will be booked by then, no?

[SoDak Bronco]

I got 1 in section 115, and another in section 110. Both singles.

My Bro has two seats together in club level a little more spendy, but if someone is interested shoot me a PM or let me know.

They lasted longer than 15 minutes, where are all the Broncos fans??

[bfoflcommish]

when will they announce that actual day? after 1st rd? all the hotels will be booked by then, no?


hotels booked in Denver...never!

You will have no problem there, even if you have to be up north in like northglenn, or south in Littleton you will still be only a few minute drive away.

Don't even worry about hotel rooms.

[SoDak Bronco]

Denver is the #2 seed and will be playing on Sat. Jan. 14th.

[i4jelway7]

that isn't confirmed yet, there is a chance they will play on Sunday

[bfoflcommish]

Denver is the #2 seed and will be playing on Sat. Jan. 14th.


it could be 15th!!

[SoDak Bronco]

Check that then, I looked at the schedule and it has the #2 seed on Sat. I assumed that was no matter what.

Anyone know how long it takes for you to receive your ticket by standard mail???

[RMT]

it could be 15th!!

Based on network rotations, it's more likely that the Broncos WILL play on Saturday. That's no guarantee but is most probable.

Don't forget that the National Stock show is the SAME weekend. As for me, I got a FREE hotel room from a "frequent flier" accumulating points and gift cards for Hyatt :)

anyone know a tentative time for the game on Saturday

[Jens1893]

Based on network rotations, it's more likely that the Broncos WILL play on Saturday. That's no guarantee but is most probable.

Have the networks and times for the CCGs been set as well? 3pm Eastern and 6.30pm Eastern are the kickoff times.

[Jens1893]

anyone know a tentative time for the game on Saturday

If we play on Saturday we´ll probably get the prime time slot at 8pm Eastern.

[RMT]

If we play on Saturday we´ll probably get the prime time slot at 8pm Eastern.

That's what many here are expecting. Regardless, I have my hotel reservation for Saturday night all set. I'll use it whether the game is on Saturday or Sunday.

[SportinOne]

Gosh i hope we play in the prime time slot... there's no way i'll be able to fly out in the morning and make it in time for a proper tailgate if we play at 1 Mountain.

So does anyone know the scenarios for what would cause us to play when and on what day?

I'd have to think that Cincy at Denver would be prime time football.. it's gotta be.

[Jens1893]

So does anyone know the scenarios for what would cause us to play when and on what day?

That´s up to the networks, but when you look at it closely: The home teams on that weekend are Denver (Mountain), Seattle (Pacific), Chicago (Central) and Indy (Eastern?). That´s one "early" and one "late" team from each conference. The times are 4.30pm ET and 8pm ET on Saturday, 1pm ET and 4.30pm ET on Sunday. Fox and CBS get a game a day each. Doesn´t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Indy and Chicago will get the early slots and the late slots will go to Denver and Seattle if they have a clue.

[wolf754life]

OH WOW! Ticketmaster has never worked for me, until today! called at 10:59, somehow got through, 1 ticket, Section 104, Row 5, Seat 3, 122.30 cents!

BRING ON THE PATRIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nyah!

[Jens1893]

Ok, the 4.30 slot on Saturday might go to Denver or Seattle, but you can bet the house Chicago or Indy is getting the 1pm ET slot on Sunday.

[RMT]

Ok, the 4.30 slot on Saturday might go to Denver or Seattle, but you can bet the house Chicago or Indy is getting the 1pm ET slot on Sunday.

I could see the networks doing Denver/Seattle back to back on Saturday and Colts/Bears back to back on Sunday, too. It sure looks like a Saturday game for the Broncos, though.

[bfoflcommish]

Don't forget that the National Stock show is the SAME weekend. As for me, I got a FREE hotel room from a "frequent flier" accumulating points and gift cards for Hyatt :)

I stand by what I said...there will be MORE THEN ENOUGH hotel rooms...lol

I think it said 48 hours for me but I was way to excited that I actully got tickets. I can't even tell you exactly where my seats are. I know they are 300 something. At least I calmed down enough to write down the confirmation number.

What a coup for you to get a set of 4 together. I take you went straight to the phone instead of using Ticketmaster.com ... that was a disaster. It doesn't matter, though, since I already had tickets. I was just trying to get tickets closer to the field.

My dad and I are using MY tickets (section 321, north endzone), so perhaps our seats will be close :)

Yeah I was real lucky! I was on the computer and the phone. I tried to call the Colorado Springs and Denver TM but couldn't get through. So I decided to take a shot and call the Salt Lake TM number. I got right through and ended up with 4 pretty good tickets. I'm so happy.
I think mine are 325 but I'm not sure so we could be close. I'm so excited.

[Beantown Bronco]

Stubhub.com and Denverticketco.com now have over 20 times the amount of tickets they had this morning before tix went on sale....amazing how that works. Friggin brokers probably had an army of hundreds online bogging it down for the rest of us.

This wouldn't have happened had season ticketholders anted up to limit the number of tickets available for brokers. One broker on Ebay has auctions for 34 tickets. Amazing how the average Joe was limited to 6.

[XXXII&III]

FYI, I'm still finding pairs available through Ticketmaster but they're all the $395 & $365 club level seats. ::choke::<CHOKE>

I have my season tix so I'm all set, but toyed with picking up extras just in case. Just in case what I'm not sure, but just in case.

[Scourge]

What exactly are the 'club level seats'? Seems to me, I'd much rather just be sitting on the 50 yard line, row 5, than any of those... yet they cost so much more.

those are the "indoor" seats. You get free grub, heat/AC, and all the "wine and cheese" amenities Invesco has become INfamous for.

why would anyone want to miss out on all of the elements of being outside in January and be a participant in the game rather than a mere spectator?

It's too far out yet ... this coming Saturday will be close enough to get a forecast. Right now it's showing that January 12 will have a high of 43. Not bad for January.

[BMF Bronco]

sweet! not that I give a shiite, I live in Montana, we think it's short sleeve weather out right now and its in the low 30's.

I can relate. I grew up in Iowa. As long as the temp was a positive number, we were happy from November to March.

[Archie]

Actually - I don't think you get free grub. I suppose I could be wrong - I've never sat in there. But I was under the impression they had all the "wine & cheese" amenities but at an additional cost. So, you pay $395 to sit down plus you pay for drinks, etc... and no food/bev's may be brought in.

They're not the indoor seats... they're outdoor just like the rest of us, they just have access to the frou frou shiite.

I got six seats together on ticketmaster.com today. Hit it within seconds of going live and put a search in for $71 seats in Level 5 - hoping to get seats close to ours for people that are trying to go. We have seats already in 529 and 531. Ticketmaster gave me six seats in 530. I was stoked...

536 I believe.

I got my tickets on ticketmaster. I just requested a certain level and left the price range open. I lucked out and got two seats together in section 114 row 11! :thumbs:
