"The San Diego Chargers have restricted sales to the Divisional Playoff game to residents of Southern California and the surrounding area only," Ticketmaster warned. "Residency will be based on your credit card billing address. Orders by residents outside of southern California will be canceled without notice."

That's lame

What's with the Chargers? Why do they think they have to have an edge to compete? It starts with Merriman and goes right to the top of the organization. Any respect I had for that organization is gone.

I don't suppose I could get lucky and they could set some record by beating each other. :)

So what's to stop them from purchasing tickets from ticket brokers?

More likely, the dim-wit reporter/editor at the Globe was unable to score tickets.

Dream on, the chargers will steam roll the patriots. Of course i fully expect the sports media to give tom brady on air lewinskys and dump on the chargers the whole time. Reminds me of the last time the chargers played the patriots.

What was that score again?

Greg Aiello , a National Football League spokesman, said he is not aware of how many teams restrict ticket sales to local fans. "There is no league policy that would prohibit it," he said.

Why would San Diego have problems getting their own fans to get tickets? I figured that would be the toughest ticket in town.
