Jaguars' ticket sales improving for final two games

[Tripoli1711]

Sims-Walker is listed as doubtful and likely will not play.  That is a huge blow.. our offense is totally different with him on the field as opposed to on the sidelines in sweats.  John Henderson is not expected to play either.  Hopefully we can step it up, Miami is without Ronnie Brown so there are no excuses.

That's right, no excuses!

[JeffreyS]

Well maybe it can be our excuse for not beating them as bad as when Marino was playing.

This time it won't be J.J. Johnson the Jags will have to tackle for four quarters.

Colts game, they only have, for single seats, club seats, so they said at Jags ticket office. Too bad too, I wanted to buy from the team, instead of scalping. But I will be there for both and show my support.

I went by the stadium yesterday to get my tickets for the Colts game and they told me something similar. I was looking for 2 seats together and I was told all they had left together were in the club seats, but then the guy found a couple in section 122 for me. He said there were individual seats scattered around (as of 2pm yesterday), but that has to be a good sign for ticket sales, right? 

The news report on Thurs or Fri that Touchdown Jax was basically backing off their goal of a sell out for the Colts game worried me. I wish they would announce how many more tickets we need to sell to avoid the blackout. If it's a small number, I think it would motivate people to snap them up. With all the stories of people buying extra tickets to give away, it seems like people are trying to step up and avoid the blackout. By not announcing ticket sales, it makes it seem like the number is disappointing and they're trying to hide it.

Well, their playoff hopes to a hard hit today.

Or they are trying to squeeze every dime out of the market that they can.

Ironically, they are still in the playoffs after this.  Walking out of the game, I thought they were out, but because there is a crowd at 7-6, the jaguars win the tiebreaker because of best conference record (Some drunk guy told me so, and I didn't believe him!).

So, if the Jags win out, that puts them at 10-6, which I think will do it, as they only have 3 conference losses.  If they win two out of three (beating Indy and Cleveland, and losing to New England), they might sneak in, but they would need some help.

sorry Steve but I don't think that is correct....Denver is 8-5 and gets the first wildcard spot....the second one would first be decided on head-to-head, which Miami would have over Jax. and the NY Jets....only in the case of the Ravens is there not a head-to-head matchup so conference record would guide.

[thelakelander]

I told you guys what the result would be today.  You're lucky all those Dolphin turnovers and a shanked 38 yard FG kept the score as close as it was.  I can't wait to hear rabid Jags fan go postal on the radio tomorrow.  On the other hand, I heard the crowd was over 60k.  Although it felt and looked like a Dolphins home game in my section, that's a good sign for the Jags.  Lets hope for a sellout on Thursday night.

Yes, there were way too many dolphins fans at the game and if the offensive play calling had any imagination we would have won the game.   Defense gave the offense way too many opportunities.  I really thought they should have had closed captioning for the national anthem for the English impaired Miami fans.   It could have started "Jose can you see..."   Really, I'm fed up with spending money on these games. I'll take a Florida game anyday for the same expenditure.   Way more passion and better results.   BTW these fins fans can go back to their little corner of the Caribbean/ b/c its not Florida.

The jags are still in the playoff wildcard - though we could lose it, we're still #2 (behind denver) for the wildcard.

I take it back Steve....apparently the Jags are still #2 although it makes no sense to me why.

[tufsu1]

Although it felt and looked like a Dolphins home game in my section

how...did you see a bunch of empty orange seats after halftime?

[JeffreyS]

So if we end up tied with Miami we need a three way tie.
