They won't sell tickets to anyone from New England!  WTF?






DENVER — The Broncos have announced that a limited amount of single-game tickets for the AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots will go on sale to the general public on Monday at 10 a.m.
That game kicks off at 1 p.m. MST on Sunday, Jan. 19, at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Tickets will be available at all Ticketmaster locations by calling 1-800-745-3000 or by visiting [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Tickets will be available only to those with a valid billing address in the Rocky Mountain region, including Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, South Dakota and Western Kansas.

But as far as I know, NE does not.  Denver may have the right to do it, but what are they afraid of?

If NE did this the outcry would be heard from coast to coast.

You want your home field to be as homey as possible, right?

That's a phrase we don't hear often enough around here.


Oh, that's a statement by George that I agree with 1000%.

I don't know.   Sure, you can do it if you like.  Personally, I think its bad form.  You can sell mostly to your home crowd, but to shut out completely anyone from the "wrong" zip code and give them no shot whatsoever to buy a ticket, sucks imo.  

But its OK, I heard a bunch of NE fans are looking to take over John Elway's restaurant on game day.  Hopefully, Mr. Elway will accept their credit cards.
