Getty ImagesThe effort to translate the Dolphins’ new willingness to embrace attention and publicity into ticket sales officially launches on Friday.
According to Izzy Gould of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Dolphins will begin selling single-game tickets at 10:00 a.m. ET Friday.
Prices start at $45 per ticket.
The Dolphins have been struggled for the past few years to sell all non-premium tickets to the team’s home games, with owner Stephen Ross routinely buying the remaining tickets at 34 cents on the dollar.
The effort has allowed the home games to be televised locally, but the images of a stadium containing large patches of empty orange seats are something less than ideal.
The team’s recent decision to become more available to the media, and to agree to appear on HBO’s Hard Knocks, are part of an effort to entice more people to show up for the games.
The ultimate cure for the team’s current affliction is tied to one word. Three letters.
Win.

Yes Dolphins, please win. It would be nice to relive the glory days again.
Let’s not all run to the box office at once, they might sell out?
I”d rather see orange seats than Jets, Pats, or Bills fans filling them.
Just face it Miami is not a pro sports town

Just face it, Miami is not a pro sports town.
Too bad they don’t play the Steelers at home this year. They could really gouge the traveling Steeler fans for 10 times the going rate.
Just like most teams make fans who want to watch their home games against the Steelers buy three or four other tickets of their crappy teams other crappy games.
GO STEELERS!
45 bucks plus fees of up to 10 bucks a ticket which gets you in rows 21 and higher…terrible deal.
Reprice the tickets starting at 10 dollars for upper level corner and endzone and they will sell without Ross having to pay.
They decided to tarp 3 of the remaining ticket booths
The Dolphins (and Bucs and Jags too) are going to continue to have problems selling tickets. All 3 teams lack star players. The in stadium “experience” is absolutely purgatorial for September and October afternoon home games with the heat and humidity. I am not sure what the NFL can do about that. (Maybe give these teams the freedom to schedule more night games?) I don’t think that winning games will solve all their problems either. The “at home experience” with big picture HD television is superior to the stadium experience at a fraction of the cost. If the Bucs game is not on TV because it didn’t sellout…oh well, another game will be on TV.
How about some consistency? The Dolphins haven’t had that in a long time.
It has Ben a revolving door of qb’s, coaches et al
Putting 3 teams in one of the highest economically hurt, and financially diverse states in the usa was just plain stupid. Bad decision making went into this by the nfl!
They’re selling them door to door.
I’d rather watch at home then go to a sweatfest at 1pm in the Florida sun. Really I dont think the heat factor has bothered many teams that have come here to play.
I love the Dolphins to death, ride or die with them, but if I want to fully enjoy the game and my team, I really don’t want to have to wake up at around 8 in the morning and watch them in a stadium that’s roasting and uncomfortable, when I can just watch it in the comfort of my own home with food and drinks that doesn’t make my money disappear.
