SMOSS89 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 "How did they get that many tickets?" , he followed up with. I know it's been beaten to death, but I figured having a player quote adds something to it. I mean, it was a shame, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF44 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 If they would all ask for less in salary and tie that to ticket prices being reduced I'm sure less would change hands and more real fans versus corporations would get seats. Don't think many of the players would go for that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 There really are simple reasons. Pittsburgh, as an area, sucks. People all-around Western PA (and Western NY) are all over this area because of jobs. Their teams are only here once every four years, at the very best. That's if we play them (or Buffalo) at home. I can understand their desire for tickets, but I'd chastise any 'Skins fan who sold or gave a ticket away to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRay Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yes that was crazy I was over at Union Station for lunch and saw tons and tons of Steelers fans heading back to Pittsburgh on Amtrak it was unbelievable site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOSS89 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Damn, I should have quoted Santana because his quote was much better. He was like "I've never seen that before. Especially at Fed Ex" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Their performance really pissed me off. No excuse. Buy your damn ticket and keep it (not "you" specifically, but "you" in a general sense). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stophovr6 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Steelers fans are everywhere, they travel well and they are diehard. That and our stadium is just too damn big. Too many seats are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOSS89 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yeah but guess what, WE WERE 6-2! ON MONDAY NIGHT! How could you not go to that?! That's crazy man..... Silent snap count at home? That's unheard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Steelers fans are everywhere, they travel well and they are diehard. That and our stadium is just too damn big. Too many seats are available. The seats should not be available. If you want to have season tickets (and you're keeping someone else from having them) then go to the games or at least refuse to sell out for an extra couple bucks. Sell/give extra tickets to Skins fans. It's pretty simple. My co-worker took me to the game last night instead of his best friend (Steelers fan). How tough is it?

I agree 1000%, PA is dump, the people there move to other states as soon as they turn 18. the Sellout fans that hold season ticket are selling them.. they just don't walk up and buy them a the window..they sell them to philly, cowboy fans.. freaking sell them to skins fans or freakin eat them..I can't make it to the philly or giants game..if i can't find skins fans to go..no way i'm selling them to their fans.. is there a complain box or number to call the ticket office complain..i dunno its just embarassing...we had a 6-2 record.. not 0-8 or 1-7..ughh i'm so freaking P'd off..

HOF44 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 What? Is that a serious thought? Nope, but its funny how they are upset when a fan makes the most he can off a ticket, but they would leave for a few dollars more in a heartbeat. I'm upset there were so many steeler fans there too, but the players are the last people that should be ****ing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
