Posted in The Chargers are having issues moving tickets:
Southern California’s only NFL team is having a hard time selling out its games because of the slow economy.
The San Diego Chargers are warning fans that local television blackouts are likely for the two home exhibition games and possibly for some regular-season games.
“I think we’re concerned about all eight regular-season games,” chief operating officer Jim Steeg said Thursday. “None of those at this moment are close to being sold out.”
Steeg said it was difficult to provide specific numbers of tickets available for regular-season games.
“We know there’s a significant number out there,” he said, adding that the team has better seats available this year than in recent years at 70,000-seat Qualcomm Stadium.
The Chargers still have between 6,000 and 8,000 tickets available for the exhibition opener against Seattle on Aug. 15, and more than that for the exhibition game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sept. 4, Steeg said.
The Chargers haven’t had an exhibition blackout since 2006 or a regular-season blackout since 2004.
