New Orleans Saints fans aren't flocking to Seattle this weekend
 

Tickets, hotel rooms, airfare. What's available and at what price?

In countless homes across the Who Dat Nation, anxious Saints fans clicked on Web sites and crunched numbers in their heads, weighing whether to buy or not to buy. Would it be Seattle or bust?
By Monday afternoon, it appeared that a hearty portion of the Saints traveling fan crew would be staying home this weekend, watching the television and rooting for a chance to travel to a second-round Saints playoff game.

The game at Seattle's 67,000-seat Qwest Field was not yet sold out as of Monday afternoon, almost a full day after the game was announced. Tickets were still available directly through Ticketmaster, the Seahawks ticket outlet. Buyers could snare upper-level seats -- on the Seahawks' side of the field -- for less than $100, or opt for posh club-level confines behind the Saints' bench for $240 a pop.

At StubHub, a popular online ticket resale site, seats ranged from $77 to $ 772.

They need to put together some nice package deals if they want Saints fans to go all the way up there against a 7-9 team. I don't blame the fans at all. If this game was in Green Bay or some other place, nothing against Seattle because I hear it's nice, more fans would have definitely flocked there.

Just pretend for some strange reason something un-imaginable happened and we lost, how sucky would it have been to say we traveled all the way up there and spent all that cash to lose to the frickin' Seahawks. The Seahawks.

Seattle is a pretty long trek. Only the Hawiian Pro-Bowl is further. Not a lot of hype about this one either, even though its the most important one - and the only one on the schedule right now. I wouldn't go even if somebody gave me tickets. My last two trips were losses and I refuse to go three-and-out. I'm even going to watch the February game from a distance.

That's because Seattle is as far away from New Orleans as you can get and still be in the Continental United States.

I'll be watching it on my 108" HDTV.

Damn, I thought my 55" was a big screen. Show off!:cool:

His cat is the size of your TV Rugby... you should be ashamed of yourself.

If somebody wants to give me tickets I'll spring for the airfare. :mrgreen:

108?
Do the neighborhood light dim when you crank that thing up?

Really? Who wants to go sit in freezing rain to watch them play a 7-9 team, save the money and spend it in Dallas

TV envy! :doh:

This is the main reason I was pulling for the Rams and was angry that the refs obviously rigged the game for the Seahawks. The Saints wouldn't have had to travel very far, neither would their fans, and also it would have been an easy indoor victory against a rookie quarterback.

I sure hope Pierre Thomas is healthy enough to perform at a high level. Watching that Falcons game reminded me of why he is such a special running back. I sure hope Reggie can step up too.

I'm closer to Seattle than most of y'all, but I can't afford to go. Even if I had tickets. :(

I'll be there!

Sorry, fellas but this is AS CLOSE as they get to Alaska!

Really bummed to logon today and get all this horrible news: Ivory done; Fans not going, etc.

Alaska

Going as well Alaska. For us Vancouver fans this is the perfect location.

I went to Chicago and paid all that money to freeze my bunz off in Chicago and watch us lose to Da bears in 29 degree weather.

With all the injuries this year reminds me a lot of that 2005 season, only this year we have a legit D.

Too bad Deuce couldn't be resurrected to play in the play offs to regain the lost opportunity of 2005.

I expect it will be a screen pass-a-thon since neither Bush or Jones are power runners.

Actually it's a projector that throws an image to a movie screen much like a movie theater. It can go to 256" in HD but I don't have a screen that size. You need a screen with silver in it to get the max out of the HD and they are very expensive. I could only afford the 108"/9ft screen.

Talk about cramp my style. :bng:

I'm in San Francisco. If somebody gave me tickets I'd find a way up there, but that ticket gift doesn't look like it's coming... :brood:

Saintfan - IF you are the woman in your avatar, I've got your ticket!

Unfortunately...

Anyway, any of you guys (gals) gonna be there give me and my wife a call. We'll share a Dixie Beer... Okay, maybe not a Dixie, but we'll share a beer!

:bng:

Marc, bring some Alaskan Amber to share with the other Who Dats. Best beer on the planet.

well for the Who Dat's going to this game. BE LOUD AND PROUD!
GEAUX! SAINTS!!
