CINCINNATI, OH - DECEMBER 24: Cincinnati Bengals fans cheer during the game against the Arizona Cardinals at Paul Brown Stadium on December 24, 2011 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Bengals defeated the Cardinals 23-16. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

The Cincinnati Bengals regular season finale at Paul Brown Stadium boils down to this: Win and you're in. Lose and without significant help with teams like the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs and/or the San Diego Chargers, you're out. Likely due to the most critical game of the year and perhaps the most crucial regular season finale since Cincinnati's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006, along with the front office offering season ticket holders a buy one ticket and get one free deal, Bengals fans are gobbling up tickets on Monday.

According to a report by Paul Dehner Jr. as CBSSports.com, the Bengals ticket office has been busy on Monday with a "few thousand tickets sold Monday morning alone."

Bengals fans formed massive lines at the ticket windows Monday attempting to purchase "buy one, get one free" tickets offered to season ticket holders for Sunday's big game against Baltimore. Director of Sales and Public Affairs Jeff Berding said the phones have been ringing off the hook with a few thousand tickets sold Monday morning alone.

On stubhub it says there are only 1,000 tickets left

Stub hub's only for people reselling their tickets

We were short 24,000 tickets for the cardinals game… My only hope is we at least get close enough that a corporation like krogers could step in and buy out the rest.

I went down to the Ticket Office

at 9:02 this morning and there were only 3-5 people there. I was worried/sad that people weren’t going to give their support to the players. I’m glad to hear that the crowd picked up later (I assume more came during lunch hours).

Thanks Bigcatdaddy for earlier.....

Go Bengals! Anyone think that Gresham might be a little more hyped for this game? I hope he catches 3 TD’s and we roast the Ravens!

Gresham is a beast

He did kind of disappear for awhile there but showed that getting him more involved is key. With the ratbirds likely to blitz alot all hopes are that Dalton finds him quick. When you get that guy in open space he is a monster to bring down. He is a mismatch for some LBers to tackle.

Absolutely,

Gresham can out a lot of pressure on other teams D, we definitely need to get him more involved…

by Unbeliever on Dec 26, 2011 3:30 PM EST up reply actions

Gresham and Simpson were key Sunday....

it can’t be the Dalton/Green show against playoff teams. They’ll take that option away, gotta continue utilizing those guys.

by The Van Buren Boys on Dec 26, 2011 4:44 PM EST up reply actions

Completely agree

I was thinking about how much more involved both of them were in this game. And we got the win.

by Oregonbengalsfan on Dec 26, 2011 4:45 PM EST up reply actions

My thoughts exactly....

and we were running plays to utilize them. Screen pass to Gresham early, big gain. Crossing patterns for Simpson, highlight reel touchdown. Used AJ on a reverse….this is the type of play calling that we have to keep using.

As Jim Morrison of the Doors said. "The time for hesitation is thru."

It is time to unleash the beasts that true Bengals fans can be. We have waited a long time for an opprotunity like this with a team we truly like and believe in. Don’t hold back. It is time for the nation to see who we really can be when aroused. Flacco – you are in trouble son.

I think it's time the sleeping giant, or should I say tiger, wakes up in the Jungle this week!

I would love to visit Scotland....

Someday…..someday….

Rains a lot. Might not bother some, but

When you are 4 and your mom gets stationed there playing outside is hard sometimes.

With that said I would love to go back and see more of the country. Being 4 I didn’t get to experience much.

by TCfromDubVee on Dec 26, 2011 3:26 PM EST up reply actions

Thanks, but still want to go.....

Have been meaning to get there for many years, just have not had the chance financially. :)

by Unbeliever on Dec 26, 2011 3:29 PM EST up reply actions

I wasn't trying to detur you from going.

I would love to go back and spend some time over there. I actually want to go hiking across the highlands one day.

Here’s to hoping you run into some money and get over there.

According to Joe Reedy the team will be announcing a second ticket deal for the general public soon

Won’t be as good as what season ticket holders got but still, props to the organization for (finally) trying to sell out.

by BeerRun on Dec 26, 2011 3:23 PM EST reply actions

ahhhh Football the only place where selling out is a good thing

Usually...

I’d complain that people who went out to get tix already get screwed but at this point, whatever it takes to fill the stadium.
