This will be
year 14 for season tickets and I will add being a season ticket holder is an
honor. I will also add just because I am a season ticket holder does not make
me the biggest Vikings fan. I have met so many out there who are huge fans and cannot
make it to games. It is a choice I made in life to buy the rights to sit in
watch 10 games a year, 2 preseason and 8 regular season games.
I do love
the option the Vikings offer with 3 payments so I can afford the ability to be
one of the 64,000 screaming maniacs.
I am simply
telling people whether through this blog or talking to people in general who
say the game is sold out and I cannot come, there are different ways you can be
in there.
My words to
people out there are you could go to every game if you wanted. The difference
is you just may not sit in the same seat each game like a season ticket holder
does. I walk the same path to the game and come across so many people selling
tickets. It is just a matter of deals you can find with the scalpers. The other
route I have seen is eBay, ticket exchange or ticket master.
I am
encouraging people to take in a game some time and see how loud it really is in
there and feel the electricity in the air.
Yes, I hear
from many it is be easier to stay home and avoid the crowds and the car congestion
both on the way into and out of Minneapolis.
I can see that but, I also offer up the Light
Rail if you do not want to drive into the craziness. It also saves parking
money.
The first
home game is just a little over a month when the Vikings host the Houston
Texans on Friday August 9th. It is the last time we will see a first
home preseason game at Mall of America Field.
I know one
of the biggest complaints about season tickets is the cost of the same price
for preseason as regular season.
I enjoy the
preseason games especially after attending training camp and seeing the guys
battle. It intrigues me how players transfer their practice skills to playing
in a live NFL game. Who will be the shocker to make the roster?
Thanks for
