MJD really makes garrad look good because he does not have to throw the ball. Whenever Garrad throws the ball. I get extremely worried. He's on his last leg anyways so I dont stress about it too much anymore.

Jaguars giving away Rams tickets to promote home opener


With almost 11,000 tickets left to sell to avoid a TV blackout for the Sept. 11 home opener, the Jacksonville Jaguars    Jacksonville Jaguars Latest from The Business Journals Bills miss deadline to avoid TV blackoutHere we go againJaguars: TV blackouts are likely to return Follow this company are trying a new marketing tactic.

They’re giving away tickets â€" to Thursday night’s preseason game against the St. Louis Rams    St. Louis Rams Latest from The Business Journals Lotteries scratch their way to billionsESPN radio announces St. Louis Rams' broadcast teamTime: Kroenke among richest U.S. sports team owners Follow this company .

The team’s mascot, Jaxson DeVille, took to Twitter this morning with the new promotion.

Fans who reference the big yellow cat while buying tickets for the home opener against the Tennessee Titans will receive free tickets to Thursday night’s game. They’ll receive the same number of free tickets that they bought for the Tennessee game.

The Jaguars track their regular season ticket sales â€" and progress toward avoiding blackouts â€" at jaguars.com/fuel.

The Jags have to sell out the stadium â€" 50,957 tickets â€" at least 72 hours before kickoff for the game to be televised, according to National Football League    National Football League Latest from The Business Journals Kid Rock, Maroon 5, Lady Antebellum headline Lambeau showTim Tebow jersey sales losing groundNew Mexico NFL fans: Where does your team rank in 'power poll?' Follow this company rules. So far they've sold 40,103 tickets for the Titans game.

The team can’t give away tickets to fill seats to avoid a blackout in the regular season, but blackout rules don’t apply to preseason games.

Free preseason tickets are the latest sales tactic the Jaguars have tried to make up for the time they lost during the NFL blackout. A team scrimmage was open to the public for free in July, and two weeks ago, they launched half-season ticket packages that can be paid for in $50 installments. The sales and marketing staff will even take fans out to the stadium to allow them to pick their seat if they're buying season tickets.

Last week, the Jaguars vice president of sales and marketing, Macky Weaver, told The Business Journal that the team was headed for a blackout for the opening game and Mayor Alvin Brown took to YouTube to encourage residents to buy tickets.

If we cant get avoid this blackout we will be okay. The New Orleans game is already down to the low 8,000, and there is like two weeks between the first two games. So its safe to say the second home game wont be blacked out. But gotta get the Titans game on TV and we will be at a good start. I just bought an extra ticket a few minutes ago to support the cause. LOL

Looks like the fins are facing black outs too. They have not had a black out since 1998. This is really unfair. The lock out hurt ticket sales leauge wide and its like the fans are being punished. If I didnt care so much for my city, I would not have bought tickets at all. The NFL has left a bad taste in my mouth and its not tasting any better.

This is getting more and more interesting. Now the dolphins plan to honor tebow and the gators at their game against the Bronco's. They have stated that it was a move to help ticket sales. That sounds like something that people would have expected from the Jags.

Were trying to play cacth up right now, but I think we have one of the best marketing teams. Trying to use a gimmick to sale tickets is only a band aid. But I think Miami is just freaking out because they havent had to deal without blackouts in around 12 years.

They're out selling student tickets at UNF again, and it's booming. Good to see.

+1!

^Tickets in the student section are $20 (seriously). Corporate partners sponsored about half the cost of the tickets to make them affordable for college students. Several of our other local colleges have similar deals, though not to this scale.

I doubt they'd be able to get more sponsors together to expand this year, but as successful as this has been, I'm sure they'll be expanding the student section in the future.

If are not a student and want tickets $35 upper deck(middle of field) or $45 lower bowl(in corner or end zone) to Sunday's game... please PM me. 

The game needs to be a sellout.  These are fantastic prices!

[SarahTay]

where is the "student section"

[Tacachale]

It's section 228. I have no idea where that is; judging by this price point I assume it's in one of the more "atmospheric" areas of the stadium.
