TV Reporter Wakes Up Only Guy Camped Out To Buy Titans Ticket
Single-game tickets for Tennessee Titans home games go on sale this morning. Most people intend to buy them online. Not David Cline. He's one of those people who camps out overnight every year to secure his spot. "I'll do this when I'm in my sixties," he says. This year, Cline was the only overnight...
Florida Panthers Season Tickets Now Start At $7 A Game
A completely acceptable first reaction to this Panthers ticket plan is rage. Rage that you're in one of those hockey markets where all games are sold out, season-ticket waiting lists stretch for years, and going the scalper route can cost about as much as an HDTV, while down in South Florida, they c...
The Nationals' New Rainout Policy Is Only A Problem If You Have A Job (UPDATE)
The Nats game was rained out last night; it happens. Fans can exchange their unused tickets for tickets to a future game; as is standard. Unfortunately, that "future game" is very specifically Thursday afternoon's game, no substitutions. ...
Marlins Tickets Are Basically Free, And Still No One's Going
You've got a second-year stadium and the worst attendance in the league. You've got the worst team in baseball. If you're the Marlins, how do you possibly make money? The answer, it seems, is to give away free tickets and hope people buy lots of beers....

Quartz goes deep into baseball's secondary ticket market, breaking down all the data from 2012. This chart shows which visiting teams were draws in which ballparks (the Yankees and Red Sox, still), and which were attendance poison everywhere (Houston, Seattle)....
The Mets Will Give You A Free Ticket For Following Them On Twitter
If you're following the Mets or SNY on Twitter, you saw a link to receive either a single free ticket, or 2-for-1 seats for this weekend's series against the Marlins. (The promotion is called, creatively and alternatively, "Tweet A Ticket" or, oh god, a "Twicket.") Except, if you know how Twitter wo...
Brewers Ticket Plan Gives Fans Better Seats Each Time Milwaukee Wins
The Brewers "won" the Kyle Lohse sweepstakes today, shoring up their rotation. So if Milwaukee fans are feeling optimistic about their team's chances, perhaps they'd like to wager their seats on it.

49ers Fan Says She Wired Some Guy $5,900 For Super Bowl Tickets, But All She Got Was A Note That Read, "Go Ravens!!!" [UPDATED]
Last week, Sharon Osgood told the San Jose Mercury News she was disappointed that resale prices for tickets to Super Bowl XLVII were averaging more than three grand a pop.

Philly Motorist Finds Snow-Drawn Penis With His Parking Ticket
As anyone who's ever tried street-parking a car in Center City Philadelphia knows, the town's parking authority is notoriously efficient at issuing tickets. But one unlucky driver discovered earlier today that the ticket isn't always the biggest dick move....
There May Be A Lot Of Empty Seats At Yankee Stadium This Year

Jaguars Fans Will Show Up In Droves To Watch Tebow, Who Is A Game-Time Decision To Hold A Clipboard
Crashing disappointment, banal mediocrity and immense, unfounded hype align this week to make for an extremely sad pre-game note for what is sure to be either a deflating exercise in late season NFL triviality this Sunday or a hilarious exercise in late season NFL triviality this Sunday: Because of ...
For Just $255, This Could Be Your View Of The Knicks-Nets Season Opener At The Barclays Center

If the $255 tickets selling on StubHub for section 225 (pictured above) strike you as a bit steep, why not move slightly to the left, over to the cozy confines of section 226, and pay only $2...
The Nationals And Orioles Are Not Refunding The "Service Charge" On Playoff Tickets For Games That Don't Exist
There is some cognitive dissonance in purchasing tickets for a round of the playoffs that your team has no guarantees of even advancing to. The presale is a must, of course—the teams need time to sell out, and ticketholders would probably like to know more than a day or two in advance if they're goi...
The Jets Are In Line For An Attendance Debacle Tonight
It's been reported that as of Friday, the Jets had 12,000 tickets remaining unsold for tonight's game against the Texans. It's understandable. MetLife Stadium is a remarkably joyless place to watch your team lose 59-6. But there have been no whispers of a blackout, so we can assume Woody Johnson has...
