I know this doesn't concern the Ravens but I hope it can stick here for at least a while.
The first pre-sale tickets went on sale this morning (after an hour's delay due to server problems at ticketmaster, but what's new there?) and 40,000 tickets were sold within 90 minutes. As a moderator of the official nfl forums in the uk, I can assure it was absolute bedlam this morning with easily more people being the angry unfortunate ones that elated fortunate ones. I was one of the unlucky ones who didn't get a password for this pre-sale but I have an option to pick up a spare from a friend if I don't get a group of tickets at a later date.
This won't change many people on here's opinion about the validity of these games, but I hope it shows the passion and the appetite that there is for this game in the UK and Europe, only a handful of tickets remain in this first pre-sale and I'd guess they're in the most expensive band which is £90 (rip-off).
It's going to be an awesome event and I hope a combination of the stadium and the 85,000+ fans in attendance (not sure of what the capacity is for this game as the first few rows aren't being sold as they don't give a suitable view, too low) are able to put across just how much this game is loved in the UK and Europe.
