Colts Playoff Game Possible Blackout?

Seriously Indy?

"It's a relevant question this morning with the Colts still trying to unload some 7,000 tickets for Saturday's AFC wildcard game at Lucas Oil Stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to the team."

Colts playoff game in jeopardy of television blackout?

Cincy as well. What is goin' on here?!

"The Bengals had a good day of ticket sales on Monday, but over 10,000 tickets remain for Sunday’s AFC Wild Card game against San Diego at Paul Brown Stadium."

What's going on? Hmm...

Well I can't speak for either fan base, but it's expensive, prohibitively expensive, to attend a game. Most have to plan it well in advance. It's understandable IMO.

True but could you see the Superdome blacked out for a playoff game? I couldn't.

"Remarkably, the Green Bay Packers have plenty of tickets for sale for this Sunday's playoff matchup against the San Francisco 49ers."

Update: 13,000 tickets still for sale for Packers playoff game - JSOnline

Just can't understand how in this flourishing economy.......... no wait a minute.

Surprising to hear .. espeically up in Indy, solid fan base.

Actually same thing in GB.

Meanwhile, Tuesday I received my 6 season tix plus an extra 4, which would have sold for 3X face value. Beyond depressing.
Anyone want to buy 20 Saints playoff book-markers, mint condition, face value $120 each?

White House admits real employment data; NFL playoff tickets not selling out. Obama assigns Vick as an economic advisor to get to the root of the problem. This would be great fodder for the Onion.

Attending an NFL playoff game for 1 person is probably close to 500.00, considering parking, concessions and tickets

Watching it with 4 to 6 friends in a 70 degree living room on a 52" big screen with food and beverage costs under 50.00, its not a hard choice for most Americans.
