Bengals Down to 2 Game Packs

First, the Bengals announced they would be selling season tickets to the general public, for the first time since 2006.  Then it was down to 4-game packs.  When that didn't go well, the team offered 2 game packs to season ticket holders.

Now the Bengals have announced that 2 game packs will be sold to the general public.  

They have packaged the Steelers game with the Texans game and put the Browns game with the season opener against the Broncos - the Bengals are clearly hoping that Steelers and Browns fans will be willing to buy the 2 game packs to see their team, probably with the hope to unload the extra game on StubHub or Ebay.

Based on the lack of excitement so far, I am not so sure that would be a wise investment. 

Comrades, you must continue your boycott.  Do NOT buy tickets.  Bengals fans are recognizing that their hard earned money is better spent elsewhere.  We will not see changes on the Bengals until we hit the team in the pocket.  Keep up the pressure.

Just a friendly reminder, the only success mikey boy ever speaks of is to win a game or two.

He never exihibits the drive, leadership, critical thinking, or emotion to do more than that and is on the record for many years in support of fans from other teams coming to PBS games for the "NFL" experience.

Welcome to the "Blackout" jungle.

Has there been any thought to how we could prevent Steelers/Browns fans from not attending the games in Cincinnati. WDR is doing a great job of preventing Bengals fans from padding Mikey Boys pockets but if Steelers or any other teams fans pack PBS shoveling down hot dogs and slamming $7 beers Mikey will still get paid and our efforts won't be as effective.

I was just on bengals.com and mini wentworth asked me if I was tough enough to join the bengals in the jungle and to prove that I am, click to buy tickets.

The other day mini carson and dhani told me this would be the best season yet.

With marketing like this I have to buy tickets cause, well, uh, oh, they said, um, best season yet, "and" i might not be tough enough.

I am not mad just sad, sad for the players who have to pander to us even though they know why and understand the reasons we stay away.

Although, they are the lucky ones, at least they get paid for bengal affiliation unlike us who get treated like a urinal cake by the organization as a whole year after year while we spend our hard earned time and money to be a part of it.

[Retardsrus]

so let's Boycot is so they Blackout the game so we can't even watch it on TV? screw that.

[MikeBrownIsScum]

Why would anyone want to watch the Bungles on tee-vee?

[BILL]

Is a blackout really that beneficial for us? As mentioned above, when we don't buy tickets and there are empty seats; should I root for some one else on sunday? I enjoy the revolution but at the same time I still want to watch the Bengals every sunday.

[Brian]

BILL and Retardsrus are exactly the type of fan the Bengals don't need. You are exactly the type of fan that have allowed Mike Brown to do what he has been doing for the past two decades.

Way to miss the point you chuckleheads. I don't know what annoys me more... Mikey, or the west side morons who can't stop filling his pockets. Heaven forbid you miss a Bengals' game on Sunday, because then there isn't anything to break up the monotony of beating your wife every week.

How's this... If there are any blackouts this season, you can pay me 20 bucks to come over and take a crap on your kitchen floor. That's obviously the sort of thing you would be into, cause you can't stop paying to watch Brown take a big ol' steamer on the 50 yard line season after season.

[Robinsgr]

As much as I hate blackouts, it is the only way to get into MBs pockets. If the games sell out, MB wins at the bank, which is all he cares about. I say let them blackout the first few games, then everyone will realize this years Bengals under MB are the same team they have been every year under MB.

Brian, you're a read D-Bag, like it's only west-siders that go to Bengals games? Are you serious? Instead of calling out those people that live there, why don't you try to stay on point. I agree we need to smack Mike Turd in the wallet, and guess what, I grew up on the west side. I guess all those east-side mouth breathers are smart enough not to go to games, now if we could just put a fence up on the west side of town, Mikey would change his ways.

[RK]

If a game is blacked out would they still show it on the NFL Network? And are there bars in Cincy they subscribe to this? This is one answer and plus it is helping our local pub owners and not MFB.

[tankman]

i'm pretty sure that games are not available on nfl network or sunday ticket within the defined regional area of a team's market when considering blackouts. if the game is blacked out you will most likely not see it anywhere in southwestern ohio/norther ky/perfect north slopes. so there wouldn't be an option of going to the local bar to see a game. i have heard that there are some end-arounds for baseball blackouts by having a bar use a canadian satellite package, but i really don't know what i'm talking about there for sure.

there does need to be some discussion on here about the idea that if steelers/browns fans are buying tix and paying for concessions, then the impact that we're trying to have will be for not and the results will actually be more devastating by helping mike brown profit and have our team play under taint-encrusted towel waving. the tix issue is one that may be unavoidable, but if there was a greater effort to have a mass nasty-food/beer strike once you enter the stadium, along with soccer-like fanaticism in organizing a unified message/cheer against mike brown, then i think we could maximize impact.

and get these peter-breathing east-siders to hurry up and swallow because they're dribbling all over themselves.

[RK]

I'm a westsider just removed is Harrison still consitered the west side? And i am pretty sure there is a website that would have the game live stream Any clues on which ones? Next we could look to some out of town bengals to help aid in this. I guess its a good think i can hook up my plasma to the internet.

[tankman]

i lived all last season out of the country where with a foreign i.p. address you can sign up for the nfl team package through yahoo sports. cost me $160 bucks or so for the season - great investment. you can't get any internet stream from legit sources if your computer has a u.s. i.p address. it's almost criminal the monopoly of it all - the league can black out dates if the stadium's not full. the league can mandate that only one service provide a television package with all the games. the league can restrict all internet broadcasting. i do believe there are people running some kind of stream through a peer-to-peer type program, but any time i've tried to watch basketball or whatever that way, the quality is piss-poor, lag time unbearable, and the herky-jerky connection speeds make my penis soft.

i'm back in the states now and live outside of cincy - i will be getting my fix at the bars. don't care if i waste a sunday afternoon or not. my recommendation is not to dump on fans that want to see the team. just don't allow for any extra benefit from concessions/merchandise to m.b.

here we go....here we go....here we go...(fucking worst goddamn scourge of a song ever)

[Wyatt]

I don't know if there's a stream site, but I have a torrent site bookmarked somewhere where you can download the full games usually within a couple hours of them being complete. It's not the same, I realize that, but it's still better than just watching highlights (or lowlights) on SportsCenter. And I guess I'm "one of the fans the Bengals don't need" as well, because I'd rather watch the game on Sunday, no matter how deplorably they perform. I think Brian's lost sight of the message here - we're part of the Revolution because we ARE Bengals fans; we just hate Mike Brown. You seem to have completely forgotten that first part.

[kotw65]

Try http://internet-tvpc.com/ I have not purchased it yet but I think this product or others like it would provide blackout bengals games

[Hofbraunow]

I want a WDR back-print t-shirt, with front print that says:

AWWW MAN, C'MON!!!

or maybe

WHAT WAS THAT!!!

or maybe

WTF!!!

or maybe

ATTABOY, IDIOTS!!!!

or maybe

THAT WAS AWFULSOME!!!!

that I could wear to the B-Dubs, to watch the awfulness on Sunday.

[MikeBrownGivesBlumpees]

Tell ya what. Youse guys rake leaves on home-game Sundays, don't watch the news(etc) til Tuesday night, and I'll tape the game down here and send it to you. That way, you can watch the game and not know the outcome 'til the tape's end.

Or, take the money you'd spend on tix/hotdogs/beer/parking/etc and drive far enough to find a bar that can get it on NFL Network. This could work for eastsiders and westsiders alike, swallowers or not.

I received my first loans when I was not very old and that supported my family a lot. However, I require the credit loan also.
