What gives? Hopefully sales pick up soon. I went on Ticketmaster and was able to get sec. 132 Row H. These guys deserve a big crowd and I hope this city gives it to them. I would think after coverage of tonight's game in the paper tomorrow, sales will pick up. I hope.
Selling out the first 8 rows 4 days prior isn't what I would call "slow", but yeah it isn't what they had for the weekend games either. There will be a big crowd with the walk-ups regardless, but I also think a big factor in how many people show up Thursday will be if they win/lose Game 5 tonight so the press can taunt that they can win it on Thursday.
I wouldn't worry about that. Besides hockey, there is really nothing going on Thursday in Cincinnati anyway. The Reds are in Philly, and the Bengals are practicing without a receiver that thinks he deserves to be fed with a silver spoon.
Cyclones hockey. A championship caliber team in a city of losers.
I agree...hey Thurs the Reds play in Philly at 1:05pm...there wont be anything for Reds fans to do Thursday night........no NHL Stanley Cup game Thurs night....only thing happening is first game of NBA Championship...I think we need to send kind, positive emails to Doc Daugherty to req a good write up on the front page of Thursday's Enquirer Sports section....and maybe a big picture like he did that one Thursday or Friday whenever it was..
There could be a couple of reasons for slow ticket sales... it is a week night game. That may keep some people from coming. Perhaps another reason is people are waiting to see what happens tonight to find out whether they need to buy tickets for one game or two games. We just purchased our tickets tonight.
Sales have already picked up. Best available mid-way up sec. 114. I think by tomorrow night the lower bowl will be very close to full. I can't wait until Thursday! Side note-they are giving out white "rally towels" to the first 6,000.
Ticket sales are improving steadily. Just picked up mine and was told there has been a steady flow at the box office for tickets. So would say we are looking to have a good size crowd come thursday.
I got my seats no problem today when I went. The guy in front of me in line had a group of 17 and the guys behind me had a group of 9, so they aren't slow.
