Bengals reach ticket threshold to avoid blackout vs. Ravens

Ticket sales for this Sunday’s 1 p.m. Bengals home game against the Baltimore Ravens have reached the threshold to clear the game for live television coverage in the Bengals home market. With Cincinnati not having lost a home regular-season game in nearly two years, the Bengals haven't had a blackout since the 2012. They'll look to keep that streak alive when they face the AFC North-leading Ravens in Week 8.

The game will be aired on CBS affiliates WKRC-TV (Channel 12) in Cincinnati, WHIO-TV (Channel 7) in Dayton and WKYT-TV (Channel 27) in Lexington, Ky. While the Bengals have accepted an NFL option to have blackouts lifted this season with 85 percent of non-premium tickets sold, the team has said that "good seats on all three levels of Paul Brown Stadium remain available for the Ravens game."

These can be purchased by calling the Bengals Ticket Hotline during business hours at 513-621-8383, toll free at 866-621-8383, or through Bengals.com.
