Is there anyway to get tickets to football play off games now?

[charver]

I'm no expert in this but don't you have to know who's in the play-offs first to know where they are going to be held?

This may be difficult to predict before the season has started. :D

[evince]

Lots and lots of money could do it.

Is there anyway to get tickets to football play off games now?Yup. There are ticket agents (professional scalpers) and by God they will scalp you. If money is no object. Thats' the way to go. The best bet is to go to the venue. The closer you get to starting time the more ticket prices drop. If you carry a sign that say's "Need Tickets" you might get lucky and someone with tickets to unload might sell them to you at or near face value (I've done that for football playoffs and NASCAR races).

So you can buy playoff tickets today?

I guess I should have read this a little more carefully. The answer is no in regards to the NFL. They don't issue playoff tickets till after the regular season is over.

[Damocles]

The only way to guarantee that at this time is to hold Season Tickets. If you purchase Season Tickets, when the playoffs come you have first shot at your own seats...

[evince]

You can advertise in the paper that you will buy someones tickets at a greatly increased price to what they paid.

The economy is still bad enough that I bet you get a taker

That's not a gaurentee. That just improves your odds of being offered the tickets.

I guess it would depend on the team. It is a guarantee here, if you have Season Tickets you have right of first refusal.

I've not heard of season ticket holders not being able to get their seats for the playoffs.

LadyT, as someone else said short of buying season tickets there's nothing you can really do now as playoff tickets aren't available until the end of the season.

If it is a really really desperate situation you could probably go to a local ticket broker shop and draw up an agreement saying I'll pay you X amount today (probably a large sum) for the right to buy two playoff tickets if my team makes it. I've not heard of anyone doing that but for the right amount of money you probably could. Again, I would only recommend that if it is a desperate situation. As a gift I wouldn't go to those lenghts.

[evince]

Internet and paper adds to offer to buy someones ticket at 5 times what they paid for it would work.

Its all about the money baby

Ugh... After I posted this thread I quickly found how much tickets to the eagles games cost. I was trying to get either box seats for my bf's birthday to a Giants game or mid lower level seats . The total 4 two tix was 650. I decided boxed phillies tix were just as good. I really don't understand sports stuff so I have no point of reference for what's reasonable. I just know that the equivalent of a carribean vacay can't b worth it -

It was funny, but not in hockey, not in Alaska. People were so angry when those at home who got on their computers first got tickets and they didn't!

Then go to the Carribean and model that new thong bikini for him. Trust me, he'll forget all about football.......and you'll get to go shopping! :)

Why the hell would you buy NASCAR tickets?

Right turn! Right turn! Left... (Me taking a nap...)

Just put on a cheerleaders uniform and play ball with him that way. He won't give two shits about the game after that.

Actually NASCAR is a lot of fun in the same way that wrasslin is fun. It's good entertainment and you try not to take it to serious even if Grandma does.

See! SM This just proves that North Carolina is a basketball state. Us men folk here in Ohio won't put up with that shit durin a football game. All may be fair in love n war but by god football is football!!!

(Word of advise to the lady folks. Don't make wedding plans during football season if you marrying a Buckeye, it's a baaaad idea and can cause early disillusionment.)
