UPDATE: Bengals game against the Browns is officially a sellout

UPDATE: Bengals game has officially soldout already, tweets Joe Reedy.

That annoying story just won't go away. What story. That story. It's the same story leading up to the game against the Denver Broncos... and the Houston Texans... and the Baltimore Ravens. It's the story of counting down available tickets for the team to declare a sellout so many, many more people can watch the division leading, 7-3, Cincinnati Bengals punish the Cleveland Browns for having the audacity of being scheduled after a tough loss in Oakland. Jonathan Fanene says, "We're going to win this game. We're going to (sweep) the division. I guarantee that. It's going to be a win. I promise." Translation: I'm so pissed off right now I could punch a hole through the Earth!

Anyway.

Joe Reedy tweets that the Bengals chances of selling out this weekend against the Cleveland Browns is very good. "Bengals ticket manager Andrew Brown said less than 1,000 seats remain for Sunday's game against Cleveland." I think Cleveland was more or less expected to be a sellout, mostly for geographical reasons of having so many fans in the state of Ohio that are Browns or Bengals fans. It's hosting the Lions and Chiefs that the sellout that's been threatened through three games thus far, could become reality.

I'm out of a job, so I can't afford tickets.

I got sick the weekend Ocho bought tickets and couldn’t get down there.

Joe Reedy's editor needs to be fired....

Technically, it should read “Fewer than 1,000 seats remain…” But, if he was directly quoting the Bengals official, than he should at least put a [sic] behind the sentence.

It's twitter, man.

I mean, you’re technically correct and all, and it would never be permissible in an article, but… c’mon man, it’s twitter.

We have to play more late games at PBS

I preach down river in the morning so cant make a one o’clock kick. With flex scheduling, Kansas City? (But probably not.)

with each passing game, i’m more and more glad of the investment i made in renewing my season tickets this past offseason (originally, i thought i wouldn’t be able to afford them, but things worked out in my favor).

I have one Bengals ticket to the best game left on the schedule. Bengals – Vikings in Minnesota. If there are any other Bengals fans out there going to the game at the Metrodome….
*sigh, I might be the only one.

This is our year!

My family and I will be at the game as well

We had it planned at the end of the season last year. We should see a great game!

I once defended the managerial styles of Jerry Narron after a Reds loss in a bar after a long night of drinking. I wish I could say that I don't remember doing that.

by chazerize on Nov 24, 2009 12:16 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

I've been to six

Home for Denver, Chicago, Baltimore
Away for Green Bay, Cleveland, Pittsburgh

Will be at next two home games, and at Minnesota! Whodey!

I live across the Atlantic!

Have to watch the games anyway I can,Thankfully I have gamepass HD and catch all of thier games anyway. Would love to get to PBS, anytime Ive been to the US,its been to NY with the wife or Florida in the summer,even have my two boys aged 4 and 2 checking the games out. Before game pass,either watched them through Sky TV or a shitty stream on the PC. I even used to tune in through the old armed forces radio network,volume up full because the reception stunk!
