Wow, Shadow! This is going to be REALLY special for you! I got a little spoiled in the '60s & '70's when I lived in Oakland and we had season tickets, but being an outa-towner now it's makes coming back a thrill. (name drop) I met Mimi and Doc from Tower of Power
Back in '71 - my brother had a band - while they were shooting up. Never forget that one. 8^)

WOW Shadow ... You're first time @ the H.O.T.!! EXCELLENT!!
You'll have to plan to get out to the lot as early as possible so that you can have extra time to "take it all in".
Can't wait to meet you!! ;D

I spoke with OFMA and we have to buy 3 games to get TB tickets, no matter the # per game. That's "for now" - they MAY switch to individual game sales if this doesn't work out. My question is do we risk waiting or let everyone try to get tickets on their own (ie-scalper)? I know Izzy had a connection a couple of years ago that wasn't too badly inflated. Thoughts?

You've gotta be kidding  !! WHAT A CROCK OF FUKING nuts!! Either way we go it's a risk. That is the premier home game and EVERYONE will want tickets to that one. SHEESH!! f**k OFMA & the politicians who run it!! |

I agree these tickets will be hot (no pun). The cheapest I could find online was $200 each.  |

Will need help in getting a ticket now, will spend a few dollars more but not a small fortune.
Still want to make it out there if possible.
Why the hell do they make it so damn hard anyway?

Since my plane tickets are non-refundable, I can afford to wait and see. Having said that, the ONLY reason I was flying up for the game was because of ASFPOR. I am/was looking forward to meeting a lot of you. This ticket extortion thang is going to buy our Raiders their fair share of bad karma. You don't screw the fans... |

I agree with the bad karma.
I will be going even if I do not get into the HOT but hopefully there will be tickets available.
Looking foward to meeting you all.
Not even the OFMA is going to stop me!

Hey, Pirate, you still have your Dish setup? Going to Alegate X and the HOT, but not the game itself might be an alternative. As I said, the cheapest scalper price I found was over $200. For $600+, I could attend AX and watch the game on TV in the lot!! Hmmmm. Have to think about that one.

He needs to know right away if we plan to pull this trigger and he wants a deposit. --RFM Shadow - 1 CONFIRMED RJ Salvi - 1 RFM - 2 CONFIRMED Gary D - 3 Badlands - 2 Michael A - 2 RJeff - 2 Powski - 3 tsp - 2? Izzy - 3? |

Michael is coming from Germany so it is a safe bet that he will still be interested.
Left Powski a message and he will e mail you but I also think that he is pumped up about going to the Sunday night game.
