Jaguars 2011 Ticket Sales

[duvaldude08]

The MNF game only has about 7,000 tickets left and two weeks to sell them.

That one looks good. But the Chargers game looks horrific and so does the game before that. Gonna be a tough season all the way around

There was a large corporate buyout of the remaining tickets for the Bengals game.  Macky Weaver said so this morning.

It was Anheuser-Busch, according to WOKV's website.

I'm all for them doing whatever it takes to keep the games on TV this season. The lockout was just too much. Next season's a different story. We'll know there will BE a season, we'll have a full period to run a sales drive, and we won't be starting a quarterback only a few weeks after he actually joins the NFL.

That is awesome!!

Wow that is awesome! I like to see the city pull together. Its about time. We wanted this team. We have to support it and what we gotta do to keep it.

I was at a restaurant last weekend where the owner was raving about how much more business they had gotten thanks to Teal Deals.

The UNF student section idea was a good one too.

Im also hearing that the bought 10,000 for the Dolphins as well. Atleast that's what new reports are saying.

I heard at least two teams had mass purchases from Anheuser-Busch earlier this season; I want to say Panthers and Chargers but I am not sure.  I know the Panthers-Jags game would have been a blackout in Charlotte but for a last-minute big buy.

OMG this article just pissed me off. I was on NFL.com, and they have article about a poll that was done by 2642 voting on who is Amercia's team. At the dead end of the article, in a stand alone sentence it states:

" Sorry, Jacksonville, but your Jaguars ranked last for the third straight year. No word on if David Garrard had a vote in this one."  WTF really? It amazes how people take time out their schedule to personally attack the Jags. Either Im just crazy about my city, or Im just really crazy. I am so heated. Its like they make something out of nothing just to attack us. I have never crap like this in my life. That is why I say WE have to embrace our team, because its us against the nation.

Intellectually I know that we have one of the smallest national followings, if not the smallest.  I wouldn't dispute that.  We're a small market team without much secondary market support (for now) and few out-of-market bandwagon jumpers.  What bothers me is when they go out of their way to take shots as you mentioned, or when there is a presumption that because we have fewer fans nationally, our fans must be less passionate (and that happens often).  E.g., a normally intelligent website, Football Outsiders, reported on one of our diehards who has tattooed the autographs of dozens of Jaguars on her body and headlined it something like "Looks like there are some dedicated Jaguar fans out there after all."  I live in Virginia and buy season tickets to the Jaguars.  My office is entirely decked out in Jaguar art.  I have 18 jerseys, a cat head hat, a paw, and a snap-on tail.  I will cheerfully put my passion up against that of any condescending fan who looks down on us after slapping a Cowboys or Steelers sticker on the back of his car.

I feel ya! Im going to Orlando this weekend and Im going to be decked out in Jag gear all day Saturday. Not to mention my truck is already "Jaguar-ed" out. Hey it is what it is I guess. Freakin' hater's. UGH!

Came back from Jacksonville on Monday and walked into an Arby's in Newport News, fully decked out in teal.  The man behind the counter took one look and said "Keep hope alive."

Its funny how people have this impression that the Jaguars are just terriable and have never won a game. For is to only be 16 years, to have 6 playoff apprences, and one almost resulting in the superbowl is more than most teams could say happen in their first 16 years. Heck this could be the Texans first year actually making the playoff's and thats after......9 years? But of course were Jacksonville.Whenever we fall, were going to kicked repeately until we get back up again..(sigh) Life as a Jag's fan LOL

There's a disturbing number of people in JACKSONVILLE who think that.
