MattM Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Interesting—if this was truly random, at least one of us would be within striking distance of tickets rather than almost all of us hovering at 200-300k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly two of them only joined the queue in the final half hour before it went live. Feels like there might have been an advantage to entering the queue late.

Virgil Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I’ll never forget a few years back when Goodell was asked about superbowl ticket prices, and he said that the Super Bowl isn’t really meant for fans to come see in person. That’s always stuck with me, and now I see why. The commissioner truly thinks the regular fan should watch games at home, while live games are for the corporations and scalpers, and the NFL has zero plan to change that. Part of why I think they lifted the blackout policy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of why I think they lifted the blackout policy Of course. It maximises revenue. More subscriptions at home, meaning higher TV deals, while you sell an increased % of the game tickets at a higher price to corporates.

Repulsif Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 If it can help, I joined the queue near 12PM20 local time ( 11AM20 london time ?), then at 12, I saw I was ~1800 in queue, saw 5 minutes waiting, then after 6-7 minutes i was redirected in website to be able to select the Bills game, and then choose 2 seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I hope this at least proves something of a point to the "Brits don't understand/care about the NFL anyway." Jags game at Wembley sold out last week in under an hour. These two today will sell out in similar time. TV ratings continue to improve year on year. The NFL is coming to Europe, and particularly London, because the growth potential is massive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My (grown-up) son is very disappointed - he needs me to get tickets otherwise he'll be expected to run in his local half-marathon on the same day. Ah well, there's always the re-sale market.....

Belgium_Bill Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I started the queue at just over 100.000, seemed rather hopeless, but you never know, the system now predicts I have a good 10 minutes or so waiting ahead of me. Then again the system has failed me before... I will give an update if it's worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
