How to Snag Those Shiny New Las Vegas Raiders Tickets: A Hilarious Guide for the Determined Fan
Ah, the Las Vegas Raiders. A team that's as thrilling as a high-speed desert chase and about as predictable as a rogue roulette wheel (though hopefully with a winning streak!). So, you want to see them live, witness the magic (and the inevitable penalty flags) up close? Here's your not-so-serious guide to grabbing those precious Raiders tickets.
How To Get Las Vegas Raiders Tickets |
Step 1: Embrace the Hunger Games
Just because you want tickets doesn't mean you'll get them. The battle for these bad boys is fierce. Be prepared to enter the Hunger Games... of your internet browser.
Subheading: May the odds be ever in your favor (and your internet connection super-fast)
Step 2: Choose Your Weapon (Website, That Is)
There are multiple marketplaces like gladiatorial arenas where ticket sales go down. Here are a few popular options:
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
- Ticketmaster: The official ticket seller for the Raiders. They might even throw in a free pair of noise-canceling headphones for the inevitable roar of the crowd.
- StubHub and SeatGeek: These are online battlegrounds where fans resell tickets. Prices can fluctuate faster than a Vegas slot machine, so be ready to act fast.
Step 3: Master the Art of the Click-a-Roo
When those tickets go on sale (public sales can be a free-for-all, season ticket holders get first dibs), be prepared to click faster than a cheetah after a double espresso.
Subheading: Warning! Excessive clicking may lead to RSI (Repetitive Clicking Injury). Apply liberal amounts of hand lotion beforehand.
Step 4: Befriend a Time Traveler (Optional, But Super Helpful)
Knowing the exact date and time tickets go on sale is crucial. Unfortunately, the NFL schedule can be released earlier than a Kardashian's next outfit change. Here's where a time-traveling friend comes in handy. If you don't have one (don't worry, most of us don't), follow the Raiders' official channels and reputable sports news sources for updates.
Step 5: The Waiting Game (May the Snacks Be With You)
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
This might be the hardest part. After your lightning-fast clicks, you just have to wait and see if you secured those tickets. Soothe your nerves with copious amounts of snacks (champions are fueled by both adrenaline and nachos).
Step 6: Victory Dance (or Cry of Despair)
If you snagged those tickets, do a victory dance that would make the Raider Rusher himself proud. If not, well, commiserate with your fellow fans and try again next time. Remember, there's always next season!
Bonus Tip: Be wary of shady characters selling tickets under a bridge. Those tickets might get you into a knock-off Elvis impersonator show, but not Allegiant Stadium.
