Stupid Bowl Blackout in NY/NJ???

[W7XF]

As of midnight EST Tuesday, the Super Bowl is NOT a sell-out to the tune of 16K + unsold seats.
And hotels are slashing room rates and removing minimum stay clauses, since they're stll BELOW 50% booked for the weekend.

I'm wondering if someone or corporates will buy up the remaining tickets before 1800 Thursday (72 hrs before kickoff) to avoid blackout in one of the world's largest television markets????

If that happened, it would be a fiasco. Nothing like a plan and this plan seems to be worth nothing.

I thought the black out rule only applied to normal games, and not playoffs/super bowl?

If it's blacked out I'll have to temporarily seal the mouth of my bear cave in order to survive the blast when NY and NJ explode, then switch on the pumps to save myself from drowning in the tsunami created by the seismic shock.

Yeah, it's sort of like the Stanley Cup or the Curling World Championships, only with more people watching.

Well, that's OK 'cause I have cable in my cave so I'll have on Animal Planet watching the Puppy Bowl. Better than the Dallas Cowboys, they have some really cute kitten cheerleaders at half time.

Same here. Puppy bowl.

Puppy Bowl. Kitty Bowl. Fish Bowl.

I'm beginning to miss the Lingerie Bowl.

[W7XF]

It's sold out now. Someone was watching ABC news last night and bought them all.

Puppy Bowl. Kitty Bowl. Fish Bowl.

I'm beginning to miss the Lingerie Bowl.

Beginning to? :sadgoodbye:

I like the Super Bowl, but I can't wait until it's over as there's been nothing on the news but the Stupid Super Bowl Tricks that have been all over NYC. Scam, prostitution, security, FBI, CIA, NYPD, NYSP, NJSP, Anal Probes, backpack bans, scalpers, phony tickets and not a mention of real crime or news.

For those into the Anal Probes, there's still a few tickets left...

Can't wait until Next Friday when real news will return and they stop milking this non-story for all it's worth. Get off your patookas reporters and do real news.

Really? You know they'll just go back to reporting on Justin Bieber.

Really? You know they'll just go back to reporting on Justin Bieber.

True enough. But they'll throw the occasional cab that jumped a curb or chemist who is selling non-prescription hillbilly crack...

Justin just can't fill a full 2½ hours of news like the Super Duper Bowl seems to. Jeez, why am I worried that I just typed that?

[kb2vxa]

Because you just realized you gave them an idea and worried they just might preempt the news with a 2 1/2 hour this Justin breaking non story?

[W7XF]

And, the reason behind the near-strip searches at MetLife Stadium:

11588
11589
11590

Ticket scalping: illegal. Refreshment scalping: legal. BYO: they'll beat you to death and eat what's in your backpack.

Beginning to? :sadgoodbye:Well, I only got to watch, er, bits & pieces of it. Somehow, The Boss took a bit of a dim view to actually watching the thing... besides, they didn't have one this year, did they?

The gag became a little less funny when someone actually tried a Lingerie Football League a few years back, and I don't recall seeing a Lingerie Bowl since then.
