If they started to discount tickets at the beginning of the season there would be some PISSED off season ticket holders some of them "Bambalance" Chasing lawyers. I have never owned a COA or season tickets but buy tickets regularly. I (season ticket holder) would be pretty pissed if someone like me was buying tickets at the box office for half price and sitting next to me.

I totally understand what you are saying and at some point say Dec 24th against Arizona it would be nice if they gave the things away or sold them for $10 but it won't happen.

I had one guy from there, take a pic I posted here and made a thread on Bengals.com's board saying that I was busted at PBS with Meth and Child Porn, complete with picture. I was like that's a bunch of bullshit! It wasn't child porn, they were all over 18! Seriously though, there's some fucked up stupid people out there, that take their hatred for the Bengals seriously. Anyway, thanks for sticking up for me. I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletcher Smith Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 If I may speak, your grace, I consider it better to be a pathetic "Bengals fan" than a pathetic consumer that continually pays for an grossly inferior product.
