The Jaguars opted not to take advantage of the new rule that allows teams to reduce their minimum ticket sales threshold from 100 percent of all non-premium seats to 85 percent. Regardless of the total number of tickets that must be sold, the teams says that they all will be sold.
Team president Mark Lamping told WOKV on Wednesday (via SBNation.com) that there will be no local blackouts in 2012, and that it’s “not even part of the conversation.”
It’s unclear whether this means that all non-premium tickets have been sold, that all non-premium tickets will be sold, or that the team will ensure that all non-premium tickets are sold by purchasing any leftovers at 34 cents on the dollar.
Regardless, the good news for folks in Jacksonville is that all home games will be televised. Then again, with the Texans coming to town on Sunday, that may not be good news.
