3 of my friends and myself are heading down to Jacksonville for the Steelers--Jaguars Monday night game on Monday, September 18. I'm wondering what websites/800 numbers etc. any of u have found better deals on. Anyone with any experience know more than just to check out Stub hub or other online sites for deals?

Any help is appreciated!!

Craigslist

Show up at the parking lot early and find the scalpers.

Do your best to avoid stubhub. They jack up the prices and then charge a 10% service fee.... brutal

Craigslist could work

You Steeler fans are always reliable in flooding small-market stadiums.

Two years ago, week 17, Bills/Steelers. I'd say a good 30-40% of the crowd were Steelers fans. I was ashamed. Even more ashamed when I heard fake crowd noise being piped through the speakers when the Steelers offense was on the field.

This reminded me of this string of posts:

Though, I'm sure you didn't want a reminder--that had to have been one of the most embarassing moments in Bills history.

and big-markey stadiums

I don't think they have jobs or families

I have been to 13 NFL stadiums, including Jacksonville, and I have NEVER went with a ticket. In the last 6 years, I haven't missed 1 home Chiefs game, I have NEVER went with a ticket. Dallas, Denver, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Tampa, this list goes on and on. in the 80 or so NFL games I have been to, I have went to the stadium with a ticket 2 or 3 time. 90% of the time I don't pay anything close to face value. Out of the 11 games I went to last year, $40 was the most I paid.

Heres the deal. Go early, hang out have a few beers. Whatever you do, do not panic and buy tickets from the first guy you see. Wait til 30 minutes before the game (or less) and walk up towards the stadium. About this time, the tickets will be everywhere, and they start getting cheap. There wll be a ton of people who had 4 season tickets and there friend backed out, or they bought tickets, only to find better ones, or their boss gave them some. Something. These guys just want to get in and make a little beer money.

This has worked everywhere I have been, even Game 4 of the 2004 World Series. The night the Red Sox won the series. There is a way into everything.

As far as Jacksonville goes. A very easy ticket to score. There will be lots of extra tickets outside the stadium. You can probably get good seats for $30 each with a face value of $60.

Man, you're my idol

I wonder if this can work for Mets playoff tickets

That is awesome!! World series???? Even better!!! I just need to decide if this is worth doing or if I'm better off paying extra up front just knowing that I'll already have my tix. Personal decision! Thanks alot for sharing this info, though!

he's right. Pretty much every sporting event I've ever been to has had guys selling tickets literally minutes before the game starts right outside the stadium/arena. The more important the game, the more the tickets will cost....and vice versa.

this will work for the first two rounds.....not the third.

I dunno, the cops outside Shea for regular games are pricks, but cops at Shea come playoff time: biggest cocksuckers in the universe

Game 3, 2000 WS, faggy little bike cop in those cutsie shorts rides by, tells us before we open up our beers that hed have to give us a summons but if we put the beer in cups he wouldnt know what we had. so we do, he rides away.

10 minutes later the same ashole rides by (the pride of the NYPD) and stops at my car and says hes writing us all summons' for public drinking or whatever....so we tell him it was HIM who informed us about the cups rule, and he tells us to basically go fuck ourselves. now being form CT, we know they are writing a million of these in the hopes a few morons will actually show up and pay the fine, so we threw them away and never heard about it again.

Walking into the stadium too, we were stopped every 5 feet and harassed by the cops, and were asked to show our tickets to 100 different people.
