the blame is irsay period there is no reason colts fans in there home town cant see the game it's ridicouls that it should not be aired colts fans deserve to see it period not everyone can afford tickets

I mean seriously - who can argue with this logic?

Getting away from the blame game. I really don't understand why 500 unsold tickets equate a blackout. How many does LucasOil seat? Seems like 500 is a low percentage. Or was it 500 tickets have to be sold to reach the minimum percentage for a aired game?

i over herd its Irsays fault because the rule used to day 85% tickets sold then it could not be blacked out but they changed the rule and now greedy Irsay said all tickets must be sold or it will be blacked out and if it is you can drive south to Seymour IN they are on kentucky local channels and watch it at a bar

The trick with that new rule is that if they picked to go with the 85% rule then if they do end up selling out or go above that 85% they then would have to share the revenue of that 15% with that visiting team. So who can blame him for not wanting to share revenue with the other team.

There are reasons to get on Irsay, but the blackout rules are not his choice. This is something handed down by the NFL.

If it is only 500 tickets I would not be suprised if the Colts just buy those tickets and give them out. I cannot imagine having a blackout over 500 tickets in Indy.

This story from channel 8 (WISH-TV)

http://www.wishtv.com/dpp/sports/colts_and_nfl/tickets-still-available-for-jags-vs-colts

makes it sound like the 500 tickets would make it a complete sellout.

Assuming the average price of the remaining tickets is $100, we're only talking like $50,000 here. And, if what someone said earlier in ther tread is true, and Irsay can buy those tickets for 1/3 of the face value, we're talking $17,000. Seems like a pretty small amount of money considering the potential fallout of a local blackout.

I'm sure that WISH-TV and corporate sponsors like Indiana Farm Bureau would also not be very happy about a blackout.

At least make better advanced search options on the generator, for me I don't care what level it is, I just want to be in between the 30s somewhere.

I used ticketzoom to get my tickets for last Sunday's game. I like the search option. You can see all sections that have tickets remaining and when you click on the section they show you the view of the field from that section.

I did find a seat I like on the random open seat generator ( new tickets ) in section 642( all the way up but near midfield) those are actually excellent seats but they were over $80! W O W. I practically had the same seat for the Bengals preseason game, it was $17, lol.

GRRR as a season ticket holder I had to pay $129 for my section 409 seat :( Paying full price for pre-season games is the only thing I hate about having season tickets.

I totally agree!! I mean Irsay is a BILLIONAIRE he's got more money then every fan that attends the games this year combined and plenty more. I also think it's stupid on his part anyway. Because every time the games are shown it's advertising for his team. To say it has to be sold out completely to be shown is down right stupid.

Ersay bought all the ticket so don't get your panties in a wadd :) It's a SELL OUT!

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.      
    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
