yah it looks like the cheapest remaining tickets are in the ends or corners. Still around 200 USD a pop. I'm going to figure this out though.... I'm already spending all the gas/ferry/food money on going to ToTD so the marginal cost of seeing seahawks game is only the ticket price and maybe a beer or two.
Will keep checking every few day's for cheap seats. Blows my mind the CDN dollar is still around the .76 - .77 cents for a while now.
Imagine how bad it might get if the real estate bubble pop's :(
One the plus side the CD$ vs the US$, the looming election of Trump may do what Brexit did to the Pound. I guess as President Obama said, "Don't boo, Vote."

It would probably be temporary. One of the biggest things the US has going for it is the size of it's population. 310 million plus. The biggest population (by far) of any 1st world country. It creates a unique circumstance where the population is so huge, it generates alot of internal economic activity... it's a hard ship to sink.
That and a US president doesn't have a lot of control on domestic policy. They can voice their ideas, and try to persuade congress, but when push comes to shove their power comes from approving or veto'ing bills. There's a bunch of bureaucratic stuff that they can do through executive orders but I don't think it's anywhere near as powerfull as congress.
If anyone (unlikely) won the 10c lottery and ends up scoring TM seats today, I have a good friend who is a season ticket holder and desperately wants to go to ToTD, he asked me to post that he'd gladly trade his seats to the game for tickets to the show.
Anyone got an extra ticket to the football game? Still ISO a ticket. A ticket that's under the $100 US range. *ducks for cover ..
The way the Eagles are playing you might have to pay $100 to watch the game in a bar in Seattle !

It's crazy. We bought our tickets about a month ago. The prices for anything between the 0 and 100 yard lines in the upperdeck was $250USD(ish) plus almost $50 in TM's service fee's (almost $300USD/ticket). I ended up buying a pair in section 309 for $530 USD. $265 each. Bought 'em from fleabay which was cheaper than stubhub, as they didn't tack on s/c after the total.
Crazy expensive. The part that sucks is they are seasons tickets so you can see how much you pay if you buy seasons tickets. FV was $108 USD. But if you bought single game tickets through TM they were around $250. No wonder scalpers buy up season tickets and simple resell them. They can outprice TM...
The only other ones I could find were just under $200 USD but those were the ones in the corners or the ends, which would be ok if you don't struggling to see the other side of the field.
I'm still glad I did it. I've been saying for years I want to see a Seahawks game and felt cursed every time there was a November/December concert in seattle and it was always on an away week.
Me too. Temple of the Dog was never on my bucket list because I didn't think they'd ever tour. Seeing an NFL game has been for a while, but I wouldn't never travel just to see a sports game, so I'm pretty stoked out of all the concerts I've been too in Seattle one finally lined up with a football game. I've seen more Mariners games than I can count but with their only being 7(?) home games/year, odds have always been against me.
Yep, only for afternoon games, so let's hope Raiders and Texans keep on winning. The only more compelling game that could get flexed in would be Phil/Sea or maybe GB/Wash (games eligible to take over the Raiders/Texans would be Mia/La, NE/SF, Phil/SEA, and GB/Wash)...so lets hope for the best! I'm really looking forward to this double day too, and though it hasn't been brought up yet, I'm also really excited about hitting the ASU v. UW game on the Saturday too! It's been since the 90's since the Huskies have had a legit shot at top 5, and with their current ranking of #4, things could get really interesting for the ol' dawgs.

I'm hoping to hit all 3, but in the worst case scenario, maybe some of you could hit the UW game instead. I know it's not the same, but perhaps a consolation?

Back in the olden days I did a NY Giants game followed by a Grateful Dead show at the Meadowlands. Just a walk over the pedestrian bridge from one lot to the other, it was hysterical, get into the tunnel with a bunch of football fans walk out into a GD lot. Lots of fun but a longggg day.
It was an NFL game I've always wanted to see.. I'll be extremely bummed if it get's bumped to a later start time :( How much notice do they give? The tickets were quite expensive so that would also give me very little time to try and sell them if the start time gets bumped :(
thinking about it, just hope they dont flex that game to the night
they can do that? that would suck.
I've been thinking about that too. It would totally suck if they bumped the 1pm game to the evening. I'm still looking for a ticket but nothing over 150 US. I might just hang outside and see if I get lucky to get in, only if it's @ 1pm.
They claim to do it as "early as possible" but at least 12 days prior. It looks like I may have misinterpreted it the first time I read it, as any "sunday afternoon" game can be moved into the night slot. I'm on the west coast, so I think of "afternoon" games as being those that start at 1pm PST (not 1pm EST), so it looks like they could move any of the Sunday games. I've posted the rules below, but as of right now, the Packers/Redskins game seems quite intriguing as you have the 4-2 Packers vs. the 4-3 Redskins. Both have massive fan bases, and I can't imagine the NFL taking away that game from them (hopefully):
Flexible Scheduling
Allows teams to play their way onto the Sunday night schedule
In 2006 the NFL implemented a primetime "flexible scheduling" element on Sundays in Weeks 10-15 and in Week 17. In 2014 that was extended so that games between Weeks 5 and 17 could be affected by flex scheduling. However, only two games may be flexed into Sunday Night between Week 5 and 10.
Flexible scheduling ensured quality matchups on Sunday night in those weeks and gave surprise teams a chance to play their way onto primetime. The NBC Sunday night time slot for "flex" weeks lists the game tentatively scheduled for Sunday night.
Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game will be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights.
Just as the six major college football conferences have done for many years, the NFL has the flexibility to move the start times of games on Sundays, using a 12-day notice format.
For example, a game scheduled for a Sunday could move from a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to an 8:15 p.m. start, but the change would be made and announced no later than the prior Tuesday, 12 days prior. Sunday afternoon games, as in the past, can still be moved between 1:00 and 4:05 or 4:25 p.m. ET.
In Week 17, in order to ensure a Sunday night game with playoff implications, the decision to move the start time may be made on six days notice.

The majority of games on Sundays will be listed at 1:00 p.m. ET during flex weeks except for games played in Pacific or Mountain Time zones which will be listed at 4:05 or 4:15 p.m. ET. No impact on Thursday, Saturday or Monday night games. The NFL will decide (after consultation with CBS, FOX, NBC) and announce as early as possible the game being played at 8:15 p.m. ET.

Not the Hawks, was going to look into a Raiders game, but they are on a bye week. Ready for a fucking fantastic weekend in San Fran none the less!

There's a bunch of bureaucratic stuff that they can do through executive orders but I don't think it's anywhere near as powerfull as congress.
