Vikings vs. Philly - BLACKOUT?

The Vikes have until 3:30 pm today to sell the remaining seats to their first playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles- But can they do it!? The phones haven't been ringing off the hook like they should be here at TicketKing, and it's got us wondering why. You would think fans would be going nuts... but they're not. The deadline has already been extended because they've made significant progress in ticket sales, so let's hope this progress is enough to air the game on TV.

Our exposure on the channel 4 news yesterday evening didn't seem to help as much as it should have. We've definitely had a lot of calls on Vikings tickets but it seems everyone is waiting until last minute or they just aren't willing to pay the money for the playoff tickets. Prices are definitely reasonable and competitive, so we just don't get it. We're crossing our fingers though and hoping we will see our Vikes in the Superbowl. Hey, it's possible right?!

I enjoy one or two games a year (Indy & Chicago this year) driving 6 hours each way - I would have bought tickets and be in Minneapolis if the weather was nicer. I am concerned about the drive (as I suspect many are)

I am glad the Vikings sold out the Metrodome. I bet you guys were a big help in making that happen. Too bad the team couldn't have put on a better show for all the fans.
