    Blackout Looming? 5,000 Tickets Left For Rams-Cards

    Blackout looming? 5,000 tickets left for Rams-Cards
    By Jim Thomas
    St. Louis Post-Dispatch


    Last week, the Rams had 2,500 tickets to sell at the start of the week to avert a blackout of their home game against New Orleans.

    The challenge is twice as tough this week. At the close of the business day Monday, 5,000 tickets remained for this Sunday’s home game with the Arizona Cardinals.

    The Rams were hoping that the return of quarterback Kurt Warner and the fact that Sunday’s game at the Edward Jones Dome has a late start (3:05 p.m., St. Louis time) would lead to the team’s fifth consecutive regular-season sellout in 2009.

    But 5,000 is a big number.

    “We’re cautiously optimistic that our fans will want to see this game, but it is a significant challenge,” said Kevin Demoff, the Rams’ executive vice president of football operations.

    Last week, with half as many tickets to move, the Rams needed an extension of the Thursday blackout deadline and a promotion in which members of the military were given free tickets for every ticket sold during the week to meet sellout requirements and get the game televised on local TV.

    Since the Rams franchise moved to St. Louis in 1995, only eight of 121 regular-season and playoff home games have been blacked out.

              I agree that was a good move by the front office and how about this week to lift the blackout they show a little love to the school teachers,they have a tougher job than they are given credit for.

                  Rams Season Tickets
                  by THOLTFAN81
                  I was bored today just browsing the internet and was just looking up Rams season tickets (I live in NJ). I saw that they were relatively cheap for the cost of tickets around here. Cost you an arm and a leg just for a soda and a hot dog at a giants/jets game like 14$ for the two. If i lived in the St Louis area i would definitely be an owner of season tickets regardless. Was just wondering how many of you on here are season ticket holders? I think next season I am going to be making a trip to a game.

                  Rams hoping to lift sales of season tickets

                  ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
                  Tuesday, Feb. 05 2008

                  The desire to increase season-ticket sales, and not the Rams' worst season
                  since moving to St. Louis in 1995, was the major factor in the decision not to
                  increase ticket prices for PSL holders, a team executive said Monday.

                  "If you look around the league, that happens, that teams still raise prices"
                  after poor seasons, said Bob Wallace, the Rams' executive vice president and
                  general counsel. "Costs go up for everyone; the salary cap is going up $7
                  million next year (to $116 million). So, you can't base it on that. Otherwise,
                  you'd always be subject to the win-loss record, and we can't be in that
                  situation. …

                  "We want to encourage people to buy season tickets. That's how you survive in
                  this league, with a strong season-ticket base."

                  For the first time in nine years, prices for fans who own personal seat
                  licenses are being kept at the previous season's level. The prices for the
                  small number of single-game tickets that are available will be "moderately
                  increased," according to a statement from the team.

                  The average ticket prices for Rams games are expected to fall below the NFL
                  average.

                  In a letter sent Monday to PSL holders, team president John Shaw wrote that the
                  Rams kept prices at 2007 levels "in appreciation and recognition of the PSL
                  owners' continued support of the Rams."

                  He also promised that the Rams would strive to strengthen personnel through
                  free agency and the draft, and would spend to the salary cap. He also wrote
                  that the team was looking at ways to improve the game-day experience and
                  atmosphere at the Edward Jones Dome.

                  The Rams haven't qualified for the playoffs since 2004. Their 3-13 season in
                  '07 led to an unprecedented number of local television blackouts. As the Rams
                  struggled, turnouts at the Dome suffered. Three of the eight home games failed
                  to sell out and, because of NFL rules, could not be televised locally. Two
                  other games, vs. Green Bay and Pittsburgh, sold out only because contingents of
                  visiting fans bought up large numbers of tickets.
