Cincy, Indy & Now Denver Joins In The Lameness

If this was common procedure, I wouldn't care. This is far from normal though. For each week, 15,000 tickets went on sale to the general public for the playoff games.

Cincy's ticket office would hang up on anyone that called with a 412 or 724 area code (Pittsburgh & surrounding area). There were pleas to ticket holders to not sell tickets to Steeler fans from the media.

Indy's ticket office wouldn't take any calls from Pittsburgh area codes and the organization even issued a plea to people to not sell tickets to Steeler fans.

Now, Denver has joined in the lameness. Their ticket office also was not accepting calls from Pittsburgh area codes.

LAME.

The NFL needs to do something about this. The home team already has the advantage on ticket sales since it is through their ticket office. They are publicly released so anyone can buy them. Things like this can only lead to the league future allocating so many tickets directly to the opposing team. I'm sure no one want that.
