The Falcons could still end their season with a loss and a top-10 draft pick.
But they’re selling playoff tickets today anyway.
The team announced that tickets for a potential wild card game would go on sale at noon.
Of course, there’s the small matter of beating the Panthers in next week’s loser-leaves-town match, but Falcons fans can still roll the dice.
Any tickets purchased through Ticketmaster will be immediately refunded if the Panthers win, while the team is offering 25 percent off the single game rate for the playoffs to season ticket holders if the postseason tickets are bought through the team website.
Season ticket holders are also offered a “no risk” option with no money down.
As popular as the NFL has become, teams are finding out that selling early playoff tickets can be tough. And with a 6-9 team that lives in a town which will host bowl games in the coming days, selling tickets to a potential thrashing by a better wild card team is not without its challenges.
