5 Wide Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Just heard it on a WGR sports update. It's another indictment of the fan support in Jacksonville. The report said that the Jags bought the tickets back at $0.34 on the dollar to lift the blackout.... i didn't even know that was possible.
Dorkington Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 That used to happen in San Diego when I lived there... Sometimes they end up giving the tickets away to charity or whatever, so its not all bad.
Rumblinstumblin Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Expected since they basically gave up on the season by dumping Garrard
Nanker Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Expected since they basically gave up on the season by dumping Garrard Which is why they dumped Garrard - so they could avoid the blackouts by buying back the tickets at a discount.
CBD Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Tampa Bay blacked out as well, I think they did the buy back a bunch of times last season, could be wrong though.
eball Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Not coincidentally, Wal-Mart stores in Jacksonville reported a run on purchases of tarps.
5 Wide Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 I hope Poz enjoys playing inside that rabid home stadium.
Erik Flowers Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Jacksonville never sells out games. They tarp entire sections of seats and sell advertising on the tarps. They are a pathetic excuse for a franchise, but have still had more success in the last 11 years than the Bills.

BfloBillsFan Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Despite all the hype, Detroit still has tickets available for it's home opener. I know it's still a week away, but to me, that speaks volumes about the fan support.
EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Its actually a nice color scheme It is WAY too close to the 49ers colors... the league would never allow it, sadly. They should go with Kentucky Wildcat-like blue and white to match the Dodgers, or purple and gold to match the Kings/Lakers.
plenzmd1 Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I hope Poz enjoys playing inside that rabid home stadium. How about this??? Ever hear of a home team preparing for crowd noise? Thats what the Dolphins are doing as they figure more Pats fans will be there thanDolhin fans.BTW, this game just barely sold out http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/Dolphins-Preparing-for-Patriots-Fans-in-Miami-129431298.html
eball Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I hope Poz enjoys playing inside that rabid home stadium. Yeah, really. I know he got a nice payday, but man...
High Mark Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Despite all the hype, Detroit still has tickets available for it's home opener. I know it's still a week away, but to me, that speaks volumes about the fan support. Tells me more about the ~30% unemployment rate in Detriot. Buffalo aint going anywhere. Best fan support in the league minus GB.
dollars 2 donuts Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Its actually a nice color scheme I...kind of agree. That's pretty nice...for starters.
weehawk Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 WRONG! Jags sold out in time. Game to be televised... http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6948457/jacksonville-jaguars-sell-enough-tickets-black-opener-vs-tennessee-titans
5 Wide Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 WRONG! Jags sold out in time. Game to be televised... http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6948457/jacksonville-jaguars-sell-enough-tickets-black-opener-vs-tennessee-titans I guess you missed the part where I said the Jags bought the remaining tickets so that the blackout was lifted. urge to be right > reading comprehension
apuszczalowski Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Tells me more about the ~30% unemployment rate in Detriot. Buffalo aint going anywhere. Best fan support in the league minus GB. yup, because the Bills never have blacked out games
