Which games you guys going to this year?
 
I'll be at Carolina, then home for the Cowboys.

Planned mine early in the year, just in case, and both are toss-ups every time we play.

Who Dat and Whe y' at?!

I'll be at our 'home' game in ATL for the 10th straight year, and I'm going to the home opener.
I'll also be attending both playoff games, but California might be tough for me in Feb. We'll see.

Wish I could be there if for no other reason than to shake your hand and see your reaction to the city, team and fans that is like no other - New Orleans.

Don't worry buddy, I've got a weird feeling that after this trip I'll be nagging the Mrs a lot more for return trips so I'll get to meet you guys eventually!

Yeah, I'm kicking that around ... being so near the holidays & all ... not being a huge rivalry game, figuring ticket availability would be better, but especially if it's a tailgate event ... hanging around outside in December without an ice-fishing suit & boots on would be a real treat for me, :D ... never been to the Dome and wouldn't mind taking a few of those New Orleans 'walking' tours I found on the internet.

Dude! Its the Most... Wonderful... Time... Of the Year
You know, I had to sit out last year, due to my off the field stuff. So good to be coming back to where my heart is. NOLA.

-- I'm going to go to the ones you cant see nationally. Cowboys, Falcons, Lions, we'll party here in H-town.

-- Texans Preseason game, Im sure our Houston Chapter of Who Dat Nation will make a party out of this somewhere in the H-Town Area.

-- Got the best seat in the Dome for the Bucs already. This'll be my 1st time back since '13. Much to take in. Lots of people to visit.

-- Taking my kids to the Giants game in the Dome.

-- Going to the Titans game, prob need an extra ticket, pending gf situation

- TAILGATE, at Texans Hou Dats!

-- at Tampa , good friend from there.

-- Panthers --- me & my big kid gotta do this one!

-- Jags -- who knows?

Slo-Mo, if you come to the Texans game, you can stay w/ me. (bring your bulletproof flak jacket & a semi-automatic weapon for my hood.)

and I promise to start planning MudBugs VI early, so we have a solid plan, and pick a date everyone can do.


And there's no one, for now, to tell me where I can, or cant go, so I expect to see a bunch of yall.

You talking about Nov 29th @ HOU? I think I can do that one, :) ... I'll start doing some pushups, :).

yes that game. The weather will actually be nice here that day.
If you have a large, vicious dog, it helps, when staying at my house. Plus,
now I can show you all the bad places a guy can get into trouble. The upside is, the mexican food is world class.

Most likely gonna do the Dallas SNF game.

May try to make a trip to Houston for the Saints game, I would love to see that stadium.

Saints at Texans for sure. Hoping for Cowboys at Saints.

Hit and Miss! Roll of the dice!
Whatever home game where I can snag "face value" tickets on TMaster.

Hi guys

This query is not directly on topic, but it seems to be the most suitable discussion thread to post it.

Given I live in Australia (about 20 hours away by plane), I've only seen the Saints play live once, which was at the Superdome in 2012. It was an excellent experience, made more enjoyable by the fact we beat the Bucs 41 - 0.

However, in one of the next three to four seasons, I'd love to come back for 6 - 8 weeks and just catch all the Saints games in that period.

Is it possible to do this? Are there always tickets available for home games if I'm prepared to pay enough? I'd hate to come all that way and then find myself locked out of the Dome.

Thanks in advance!

You cannot buy single game seats from the Saints; every ticket is assigned to season ticket holders. Occasionally the visiting team gives up their allocation, but that's only 1500 or so, and you wouldn't know until the Wednesday before the game.
That leaves secondary sellers. I've sold tix for 10 years, and my experience is that the high profile games go for 75-100% over face value, but that you can get other games at about 20-25% over face.
Stubhub & ebay are the most reliable- you pay the price listed. A lot of other sites reel you in and then list a $30-40 service fee when you're checking out.

Hi Scott - thanks for the comments. I'm pretty sure I bought someone's season ticket seats for 20-30% below face value for the aforementioned Bucs game in 2012, but I guess that game wasn't especially popular (and we got them from a scalper outside the Dome right before the game started).

I guess the key point is - if I'm willing to pay, I'll be able to get in, which is the main thing.
