The ticket office confirmed too many tickets remain available for the game to sell out, so it won'be televised in the home market cities of Cincinnati, Dayton, Ohio, and Lexington, Ky. Tickets can be obtained by calling the Bengals Ticket Hotline at 513-621-8383 (or toll free at 1-866-621-8383), or by going to bengals.com.

scharm Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Colts preseason game was lowest ever, under 40k. That's tickets sold. That's a big hole to recover from. Then you got to consider brokers are going to have lower prices. Which are tickets already sold. So even if demand picks up there's plenty of options than buying them from bengals.

bengalsfan2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 They should at least lift the lockout for people spending hundreds of dollars for the Sunday ticket. that should entitle a fan to all of the games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ickeyshuffler Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Under 40k season ticket holders. No way they sell 28,000 single game tickes for the 49ers. Unless this team gets hot and stays hot the steelers game will be the only sellout of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoBengal Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I'd imagine with the availability of seats, if you really wanted to see the game you could probably find decent seats well below face value from individual sellers, which of course doesn't have any impact on the box office.

oldschooler Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 [b][size=6][url="http://cincinnati.com/blogs/bengals/2011/09/17/next-sundays-game-will-be-blacked-out/"]Next Sunday’s game will be blacked out[/url][/size][/b] [b] 1:06 pm, Sep 17, 2011 | Written by [email="jreedy@enquirer.com"]jreedy[/email][/b] Even with their first win in an opener since 2007, there wasn’t a mad rush to the Bengals ticket office this past week, which is why the team has taken the suspense out of next week’s blackout watch. The Bengals announced on Saturday that next Sunday’s home opener against San Francisco, which was supposed to be televised by Fox, will be blacked out in the home market cities of Cincinnati, Dayton and Lexington, Ky. Yes, even if you live in the 75-mile blackout radius or are in the home markets and have DirecTV’s Sunday Ticket, you will be blacked out. In issuing the release, the ticket office confirmed that too many tickets remain available for the game to have sold out by the Thursday 1 p.m. deadline. However, if you are interested, tickets can be obtained by calling the Bengals Ticket Hotline at 513-621-8383 (or toll free at 1-866-621-8383). This will be the fifth straight Bengals regular season home game that will be blacked out after a string 57 straight sellouts in the regular season and postseason.

They do literally feed off that energy. That said, maybe some of the players that have been here long enough feel like its their job to earn us back with their play on the field. That's how I would probably feel if I was, oh, Andrew Whitworth (whom I wish I could exchange lives with for a weekend!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
