Firstly, please note that RaiderMecca.com does not sell tickets, so please don't write us asking to get you some. There are various ways you can get game tickets though, so we'll let you know the various ways (both official and unofficial) here. You can check out your seat location by using the seating chart.

E-Bay

You can usually find Raider tickets for sale somewhere on E-Bay, and you might get really lucky and find a good deal. But don't be fooled, this is pretty much the same as going to a scalper - you could end up paying something horrendous. Furthermore, at least with a scalper you get the tickets there and then, face-to-face. It's wise to pay for premium postage (we recommend recorded mail), but even then you're taking a risk. Yes, E-Bay has rules to protect you, and you could go after the seller in court, but that won't be much consolation if your tickets never arrive. Also, be aware that if your tickets arrive late, you have very little recourse for damages, and any reluctance to pay on your part could end with you in court.

Gameday Sales

Gameday sales have always been pretty popular because the OFMA surcharge ($20 per ticket) doesn't apply within 48 hours of the game. Therefore, a ticket which would have cost you $61 will cost you $41. However, the risk you are taking is obviously that there will still be tickets available - in the past, this usually hasn't been a problem, but it became one in 2000 with the team being successful on the field. If the success on the field continues, anyone waiting to the last minute could be faced with no ticket at all or, at best, ones which are miles from the field. The latter isn't really a huge thing, as there aren't really any bad seats (Mount Davis is pretty high up, and you're a bit away from it all, but they're reasonable enough).

Scalpers

OK, we really shouldn't mention this, but it may be becoming more and more of a factor. When games are sold-out, your only option, other than hoping a friend has one, is to talk to these guys. You obviously know the deal here: the more the demand, the higher the price. Scalpers were selling tickets for the 2000 playoff games at anything upwards of $300 a piece. We don't recommend this unless you're really desperate. One little trick, if your nerve can hold that long, is to wait to the very last minute (as in like 15 minutes before gametime): by this point, they start to worry they'll be left holding rather costly babies, and you can usually talk them down to a more reasonable price. Maybe.
