Cardinals Are A Sellout


The Arizona Republic is reporting that season tickets for Arizona Cardinals 2006 home games are now sold out. The Cardinals have sold approximately 4,500 season tickets since acquiring the rights to former USC Quarterback and 2004 Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart.

The Cardinals also announced that single game tickets will only be available to fans that place their names on the waiting list for Cardinals season tickets by paying a $200 per ticket deposit. That will also gove you the right to purchase an equal number tickets to an individual game.

This milestone will impact Steelers fans in 2006 and 2007. The Steelers and Cardinals will play in Arizona's preseason opener, August 12. This is also the inaugural game in the Cardinals' new stadium. According to the NFL's scheduling formula that established future opponents well in advance, the Steelers will visit Arizona during the 2007 regular seasonn.

Traditionally, Arizona has been a welcome stop for Steelers fans with tickets that were not only plentiful, but inexpensive. Look for ticket prices prices for the Steelers Cardinals preseason game to rise with this new found scarcity.
