Bengals ticket sales continue to struggle - after exhausting the so called "season ticket waiting list," and going from four game packs to single games, it seems that even the single game tickets are not selling.
On ticket reseller TicketsNow, Bengals tickets for every home game except Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Chicago are going for as low as $30, a 55% discount from their levels last week! So unless the game is drawing in large amounts of opposing fans, the tickets just aren't selling.
The Bengals are hoping that their appearance on Hard Knocks will bolster sales - but what fans are going to get excited seeing the "star" player just coming up with creative ways to curse and with Mike Brown running the coaches meetings and suggesting to move a DE to TE (instead of signing a TE who might be a little more "game ready)?
Comrades - keep up the pressure!
If the first episode of Hard Knocks is any indication of what we will see in future episodes, then I believe whatever ticket sales are actually taking place will plummet. Too many posts stating people are regretting their purchase of tickets - which is a good thing if we truly want to see change from MB. Money is the only way to get him to change. So I will ask the question again that I asked several months ago - when are we going to start a project mayhem and start sending letters to the companies that advertise with the Bengals, threatening to boycot their products and services if the continue to advertise with MB and the Bengals?
