Vikes have 20,000 tickets for sale

They need you!
Well, maybe not you, but they need warm bodies to fill the Metrodome. The team has announced that it has 20,000 tickets available for Sunday afternoon's playoff game against the Eagles. That's right -- 20,000.
“We appreciate our loyal fans and want to ensure they understand tickets are still available at all price levels for this game,” said Vikings Vice President of Sales and Marketing/Chief Marketing Officer Steve LaCroix. “We’re encouraging fans to experience the atmosphere of the team’s first home playoff game since 2000 and give the Vikings the continued home field advantage we enjoyed throughout the regular season.”
They say prices range from $30 to $160, and that more information is at ticketmaster.com.

that is pathetic. just for that, they should lose home field and the game should be moved to Philly where there are real football fans.— Ryan- People are STRUGGLING right now, Ryan. Good for you that you can always buy football tickets, no questions asked, just because you're a "real football fan," but plenty of people have never attended and will never attend a game because they can't afford it.— Nutburgers
the league/networks should eat 'em and distribute to under privileged children. They won't of course. Looking forward to Sunday's anticpated tv coverage with lots of close ups of players helmets as game resumes all around them.
Comment removed.- Ryan: You are a moron. There is little to do in MN this time of year. Affordability not drunken Eagle fans determin ticket sales.— warbird
- Nothing to do in MN in January? Come on...there's plenty to do. Ice skating, Ice fishing, Ice sculpting, Ice whatever. I'm sure they will sell out by Sunday. And I'm sure they aren't going to give away tickets to under-priveleged kids. I know times are tough, but I think there are 20k people in the MN area who can pony up $30-$160...they'll just have to skip one night out at the bar or something.

- you people really believe the problem is that people can't afford to pony up $30 for a ticket to the game? this problem doesn't happen in Philly, one of the most economically depressed cities in the nation, then it shouldn't happen in Minneapolis should it? gimme a break. get of your high horses.— Ryan
I agree with Ryan. You people really need to get off your high horses, the whole country is economically depressed not just in Minnesota. It just shows how much the Eagles matter to this city and why we are more deserving than any other city right now of a Super Bowl run.
Do they still do local tv blackouts when a game is sold out? What a shame that would be.— burholme- I mean not sold out. Years ago gamers weren't televised in the home market if so many seats weren't sold. I recall the Eagles having that problem in the 70s/80s from time to time. The local network affiliate would buy out the last few just to televise the game. Yes, even in the football town of Philly!— burholme

- You people are morons. Why do we have to make everything an economics/political issue. this is the SPORTS page. You should come here to get away from that stuff. He was merely implying we are better sports fans. Get over it. keep the polictical commentary where it belongs.
- sorry I FORGOT, GOOOOO VIKINGS!! PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS ALL THE WAY!!!— KDANNO11
- There you go, kids. When you want to make an important point, make sure you do it in all capital letters...— Mike H.
- you noticed!! sorry wasn't capitolized!!BRAVO !!— KDANNO11
- that is pathetic. 20,000 available? give me a break.— DMC5
Ryan is so dead on..........— Earl J- Play that bad-boy outside and they'd have 64,000 tickets available. Minneapolis sounds like a cool place. I'd really like to make the trip but they say the roof of the Metrodome requires 250,000 cubic feet of air pressure per minute to remain inflated. What if they were off by few cubic feet that day? We'd all be wearing a dome turban. And you thought the fog bowl sucked? I just can't take that risk. The roof in my living room just has a small leak, and the only cubic feet of hot air will be coming from My Uncle Fred after two-dozen hot wings.— Will T.
- Ryan is right. Tony Thunder is right. Mike H. is hilarious.— raydollar
- Who cares about the people from Minnestinkensota? I hope all of you losers that can't afford 30$ tickets get pancreatic cancer. Spoken like a true Philly boy. Go Birds!— Scrumptious
- Can you blame the Vikng fans...what are the odds the bridges will collapse? PLAY THE GAME HERE...WE'LL START THEM WITH 10 POINTS.— phillybob
- not only in CAPS, but make sure you spell your team name wrong. Who the hell are the VILINGS!!!! I shall guess you are around 12 years old, and not able to control yourself when you feel attacked in any way, and get real anxious while writing a post KDANNO11. Look at you, right now you're getting angry just reading this.— cnova000
- OK - there are still tickets at the Dome for the game on Sunday. If you want to drive up from the Del Val you are looking at about 18 hours. Northwest Airlines flies direct, but no many seats left.... Yes there is stuff to do in Minnie. The bars in the warehouse district will be going full blast before, and after the game. There is a Corona Beer themed bar on the 4th level of the Mall of America that would love to except your money. Eagles Fans cone on up - I'll be wearing my number 5 jersey, and I would love to have some folks cheering with me. This is going to be a great game!!!— Philly101
- Hey KDANNO11, your purple people blowers were in the 70s. They are, however, ranked 6th in overall defense (3 spots behind the eagles) - that should help them a little. Let's not forget that you have Tavares back there throwing the ball. I do respect and the vikes and their fans - I wish you !no luck on Sunday but good luck next year! Say hi to Prince for me as well.— jearnha
- Ha ha ha ha ha - Minnesota fans. THAT'S FUNNY (all CAPS of course). Watch out for that runaway purple freight train - oh no! It's coming to get us - and its PURPLE!— tjc
- The Vikings are up against the 2A Girls High School Curling championship— JamesJ
- They need to stop allowing comments on these pages. 99% of them are from illiterate juveniles.— doorspj24
- Comment removed.
- Purple freight train.. sounds like a euphemism for a gay parade.— phillyk
