Catching a game this year????

Hey guys, I'm so stoked!!!

I go to the opener every year. This year I was so happy that we drew Tampa bay as the opener,but was kinda bummed that I probably would not be able to afford a trip to Jerry-World.....

I already had made reservations and ordered tickets for the Tampa Bay Game...However I decided to check on tickets for the Home Opener against the Giants. Surprisingly I was able to get End Zone seats 9 rows from the field for $375 a piece....So I jumped all over it!!!!

I'm going to the very 1st game EVER at the new Stadium.....I'll never forget the experience....This is going to be awesome!!!!

So how many of you guys will be at the Home opener?

I smell a Tailgate party!!!!!

I'll be travelling from virginia to Tampa To Dallas....the first 2 weeks of the season.

Tell us all If you'll be catching a game this year and which ones you'll be attending!!!

I'm going to the Thanks game

I got tics for $350 a piece right on the goal line, second level, Cowboys side. I’m stoked as well.

I checked the prices

You can’t do much better on that Thanksgiving Day game

considering the club seats

which run between the 10 yd lines are going for over $1,000 a seat, thats not high at all.

I'm going to the opener in Tampa...let's get together...

I currently have 2 nose bleeds up in 317, but I’m trying to aquire even better seats..Who is interested in going to Tampa for Game #1 ??? maybe we can find a better deal of 4 or more seats if money is pooled together……

Hey I'll definitely be there

We’ll get together before the game and tailgate???
I already have my tickets from a buddy of mine who works in Tampa….He has season tickets through his job….LOL…but he’s a Steelers fan.

Are

they going to sell single game tickets ?

by icouldusesomebaseball on Apr 21, 2009 3:12 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

i looked into Tampa's single game ticket situation..I didn't get too far with info...I'm told they are all sold out...but unless their entire stadium is season ticket holders...how can that be?

I got my feelers out for for better deals…and if i find a batch of 4 or so…I’ll probably have some seats available for the BTB followers if they wish to venture to Tampa for game 1..

True..I’ll sure meet up with you, and whoever else is going to that game for sure…I don’t have any fellow Cowboys fand here in FLA with me….so i’ll probably be going alone..

just go to an online ticket broker

you can easily get single game tickets, you just have to pay a little steeper price, but its the Cowboys so it’s obviously worth it, right?

"alittle steeper" ?.....Luckily I got my 2 tickets for face value -$75 bucks each...I'm not paying $200+ for seat....

How?

by BishopWest on Apr 22, 2009 11:07 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

i went on craigslist...actual season ticket holders are encouraged to sell at face value...(it's required to post on there)

of course you have agencies redirecting to their links at far inflated prices..but there at season ticket holders selling complete season packages for face value…(but i’m not going ot buy a whole season to reep rewards for one Dallas game, and be responsible for selling off the rest, although i am sure i could make money if i did…not looking ot invest 2-4K)

I think $200-$300 a seat is cheap on the lower levels

I think watching watching a game in the nose bleeds is worthless, I’d be better off watching it at home.

true...which is why i'm still looking for better seats....I can get lower level 40 yd line for 300 or so.......I need to round up a group though..

i actually prefer watching at home….but it’s been a few years(5) since my last live Cowboys game..

there's nothing like watching a game in person

provided you have good seats of course. I try to go once a year.

Went to 2 games last year. The high point and the low point of the season

CLE – thought we were on our way. Had a great time, made it part of a business trip to minimize expenses

STL – never so aggravate after attending a game and I went to the Texans’ franchise opener at Reliant Stadium in HOU. The Q Carter lead Cowboys. Then, I was just embarrassed.

My best source for tickets is Stub Hub. I’m considering Tampa and DEN because I’ve got good friends there. We’ll see how the season pans out…

I'm going to try to go to the KC game.

My next door neighbor usually can get tickets to the Chiefs games. I don’t know about this one though. When the Cowboys come to Missouri there’s usually a 300% markup.
