A blackout for the Buccaneers - Ingles

With ticket sales still “slow,’’ the Buccaneers are expecting their season opener against the Detroit Lions to be blacked out on local TV, co-chairman Bryan Glazer said Friday.
During an interview on with Steve Duemig on 620 AM, Glazer said ticket sales for the team’s nationally televised games against Indianapolis and Dallas are outselling other games at this point but that the threat of blackouts throughout the season remains possible.

“We’re just trying to be honest with the fans when we talk about how we expect the game to blacked out next week,’’ Glazer said. “We just want to be realistic and not put expectations in people’s minds. We’ll comunicate with the fans if we (think that’s going to change) but at this point we don’t expect that to happen.’’

One thing fans can expect to happen is for more $35 tickets to be made available for the Detroit game. Glazer said the team was in the process of adjusting some ticket prices to enhance sales for the Lions game.

“We are in the process of adjusting some tickets and making more $35 tickets available for the Detroit game,’’ Glazer said. “If they’re not on there today (Friday), be patient, give us a couple of days, we’re working with ticketmaster to make those adjustments.’’

Glazer said $35 individual game tickets are currently available for all Bucs home games on ticketmaster. This article was written by Roy Cummings and appeared in The Tampa Tribune.
