Want to see Ravens live? Try away game in Cincy
A story moved earlier today on ESPN.com about how disillusioned Bengals fans are unloading their tickets on StubHub by the fistful. The Bengals are 0-6. Thousands of tickets appear to available for several Cincinnati home games, including the Nov. 30 meeting with the Ravens. Tickets that have a face value of more than $60 are on sale on ticket reseller sites for $24, according to the story.
I looked at StubHub this morning and sure enough, there are quite a few tickets on sale for the game against Baltimore in the $24 to $50 range. I'm not pushing StubHub here or anyone else who sells tickets but for fans who find scoring seats at M&T Bank Stadium particularly difficult, this could be an opportunity if the travel issue isn't a problem.
Here is one story about what's happening in Cincinnati regarding tickets and here is another.
Comments
Bill--I actually noticed this last night when surfing stub hub for Rays Tickets in Tampa. I decided that I am going to take the trip. I have never been to Cincy and want to see that city. I am waiting a few more weeks to buy the tickets as the prices should drop as the Bengals losses keep coming. But I found the Westin on Priceline for $94. I was able to use miles for a plane ticket on United.
See Everyone in Cincy!!!

Dont forget E-Bay. There are a large number of Raven home tickets on E-Bay and some for a very good price. It seems that many season ticket holders have given up on the team and unloading their tickets for what they can get for them.

If you go to Cincy, don't miss the skyline chili fast food. It is fabulous and only available locally. Get a coney dog with chili cheese and onions while you are there you won't regret it.

hey Ravens fans!... some of us are heading down to Miami to see if the Ravens take on the Dolphins this weekend.... just wondering if any other Baltimore fans are making the road trip?... this could be a pivotal game in our season!

Pivotal game of the season? Now that is funny, I dont care who you are. Ravens have lost 3 in a row. The offense is struggling, only 3 teams worse. Hard to blame Flacco. He was supposed to be 3rd string and learning the NFL. The Ravens changed coaches, but it has not made an impact on their offense woes from the past several years. Put a fork in them they are done for the year. They still have the Giants, Eagles, Redskins and Dallas to play, not to mention Jacksonville, Pittsburg Cleveland. I predict they will go 2-9, at best, 3-8.

Capt.,
The schedule is extremely difficult. Seven wins would be OK. They can't afford any more key injuries and that's going to be hard to avod.

Captain jack, you epitomize everything that is wrong with Baltimore sports fans. You can't let go of the past, even if the past was last week. Are you still hoping Cal will un-retire and the Colts will give the name back to Baltimore? The Ravens are a 3-3 team on an upswing. They have 3 very winnable games coming up, and the offense has shown improvement. If they can materialize into just an average offense for the second half of the season they will make a run at a playoff seed.

Mr. Rooney, I am not a Ravens fan.I am a longtime NFL football fan and try to stay objective. I do not look at the Ravens with rose colored glasses like most fans. I am an Oriole fan and a big Cal fan. BUT, I dont want him to un-retire. I want him to buy the team from King Peter. It sure cant be any worse than what we have endured in the past decade.
