Bengals receive extension to avoid blackout until Friday afternoon


The Bengals, along with the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts are all struggling to sellout their home playoff games, but it was hard to ever see the NFL allowing three NFL playoff games to be blacked out in the same weekend.
It looks as though the Colts will also be able to ell out their allotment as well:
Colts have received an extension to sell playoff tickets until Friday at 4:30 pm. Last check, had 3000 to sell.

There is a chance though that the teams don’t reach a sellout tomorrow and another extension is given, according to Bengals Beat Writer Joe Reedy:
Come back tomorrow at 4 p.m. when we probably have another extension announcement #Bengals

Also, there’s reports of only 3,500 tickets being left to sale, which the team is claiming is inaccurate:
There's a 3,500 number floating around regarding remaining #Bengals tickets. Team officials are saying that number isn't accurate.

#Bengals still don't have an exact number of remaining tickets. Seems the number many of you saw earlier was sent out accidentally.
