Fans can purchase individual game tailgate party tickets beginning next Saturday, July 24
A limited number of individual game tickets to the 2004 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tailgate Party tickets will go on sale Saturday, July 24, at 10:00 a.m.
The Buccaneers have a season ticket waiting list of 110,000 people and a very limited number of individual-game tickets to sell for the 2004 season. Still, fans can ensure themselves of tickets to individual games and join a very popular pregame experience by purchasing tickets to the Tailgate Party.
Details about single-game tickets for the season will be announced in the next few days.
Last season was the first that the Buccaneers sold individual tickets to the tailgate parties, which had previously been limited to groups and sponsors. The option proved to be immensely popular; thus, the team is expecting this year's tailgate party tickets to sell out quickly.
"As many of our fans found out last year, this is the biggest tailgate party in town," said Buccaneers Senior Director of Business Administration Mike Newquist. "It is also an excellent way for fans to guarantee themselves tickets to our home games."
The pre-game tailgate party costs $145 per person and includes a game ticket, free access to the party tent, an all-you-can-eat and drink buffet with chicken and ribs, hamburgers and hot dogs, taco and nacho bars, pasta bars; all served with baked beans, cole slaw and desserts. The party, with several thousand other Bucs fans, begins three hours prior to kickoff and lasts until kickoff.
The tickets will be sold through TicketMaster via telephone and the Internet ONLY. Tickets will not be sold at the Buccaneers Ticket Office or Raymond James Stadium. To order tickets online, visit www.ticketmaster.com. To order by phone, call TicketMaster Charge-by-Phone at the following numbers:
