Andrew Brown, the Bengals' Director of Ticket Sales, recently spoke with Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson about ticket sales this offseason.

The club still has not announced when single game tickets will be available for sale, but for now we can get an idea of the most popular games from the sales of this year's two and four game "Ticket Packs".

Surprisingly, Carson Palmer's return to Cincinnati is nowhere to be found among the top three selling ticket packs. Instead, games with Cincinnati's two division rivals have been the most popular thus far.

Four-Game Power Packs
Orange Pack Black Pack
Pittsburgh Steelers Denver Broncos
Cleveland Browns New York Giants
Dallas Cowboys Oakland Raiders
Miami Dolphins Baltimore Ravens

Two-Game Power Packs
Pack A Pack B Pack C Pack D
Pittsburgh Steelers Dallas Cowboys Denver Broncos Oakland Raiders
Cleveland Browns Miami Dolphins N.Y. Giants Baltimore Ravens

The most popular ticket packs in order are these three:

1. Cleveland Browns & Pittsburgh Steelers

2. Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys

3. Denver Broncos & New York Giants

Andrew Brown also explained that ticket sales to the October 7th Miami Dolphins game have shot up, ever since Chad Ochocinco signed with the club. The Pittsburgh Steelers game will be a nationally televised game on NBC's Sunday Night Football, which may explain the high sales already. It surprises me that the Raiders and Ravens pack hasn't received any more attention, with Carson Palmer returning to Cincinnati and the Ravens returning again for a regular season finale with a wild card playoff spot possibly on the line.
