Cheap Seats Remain for Vikings Playoff Game

Over 11,000 tickets remain unsold for this weekend’s Vikings-Eagles playoff game in the Metrodome. The explanation for this is simple. It’s because ... um ... actually, no, it’s not simple. There is absolutely no reason why they cannot sell out this game. Cheap seats are going for under $40, and there are plenty available -- I just checked:↵

↵↵That’s right: 40-freakin’-dollars. Not to come off as Richy McMoneystacks (seriously, I blog for a living. It’s not a high paying gig. Although living in mom’s basement saves me rent money), but it’s pretty pathetic that a team that hasn’t hosted a playoff game in eight years can’t even get fans to fork over the money for a Wild Card ticket. That’s cheaper than I’ve ever paid for regular season nose bleed seats. Ohhh, but what about the economy? Whatever. That is my response to that. 40 bucks is not a lot of money, ever, and if you think it is, then you should stop paying $30 a month to be on the internet right now. ↵

↵↵The team has until 3:30PM tomorrow to find some fans, otherwise all those people living in the Twin Cities who were too cheap to buy tickets will have to drive up to Grand Rapids to see the game on T.V.↵
