Falcons Already Selling Playoff Tickets

[Woodcookedbbq]

From Falcons beat writer Jeff Schultz Twitter:

#Falcons haven't clinched anything yet but playoff tickets go on sale at noon tomorrow, the team just announced.

8:08pm - 21 Dec 14

How stupid is that?

Panthers sent out play off invoices.

[Woodcookedbbq]

I don't know, it just looks like that could be taken care of after the team wins and avoid a lot of hassle.

I sure if they don't make the playoffs then the people who bought have to apply that money to a future game. Seriously doubt they give their money back. So...it's kinda smart actually.

Atlanta is such a shitty sports town they wouldn't sell out the game even if they had two weeks of ticket sales.

[KintnerBoy]

I got my invoice for PO tickets first of last week.

[Udogg]

Standard procedure.

[caatfan]

I hope the Falcons are busy lining up tickets for friends and family. I think few are giving us a chance to win in Atlanta. Hopefully they come out flat after their big win over NO.

[PandaPancake]

I'm still waiting for my Detroit playoff game from last season

[MadHatter]

Standard procedure.

 

for Season Ticket holders I would agree with you....can always apply the money to next year's tickets.

 

But selling them on an individual game basis to the public is a bit of a stretch.

I like it. If you don't make it you get them to commit to a future game. If you want playoff tickets then you have to roll the dice.

I agree, but ownership in ATL knows how shitty of a town they're in and will need all the time they can to sell out a playoff game.

Playoff ticket sales are league-mandated, not a function of the team's business office. For those teams using the PSL program, like Carolina, the league dictates the ticket sale date based upon the mathematical probability of making the playoffs. For teams who use single game ticket sales and "season" ticket sales, the league tells them when they have to offer individual ticket sales.

Where did you read that?  I have never heard it is league mandated.
