Another year and another battle for half-priced tickets that left some celebrating good fortune and others cursing a failed attempt.
The Denver Broncos said the team sold out of half-priced ticket pairs within 8 minutes of opening the sale on Wednesday, . Roughly 19,000 of the 20,000 half-priced tickets were bought in an hour. A few of the half-priced single tickets are for some games.
A few hundred of the 7,000 full-priced tickets put on sale remain as well. Those are also mostly single seats.
As is common, people took to Twitter to air their excitement:
That feeling when you have Broncos tickets…..

But others went online to lament, some pre-emptively:
I'm not ready for how angry I'm gonna be in less than an hour when I don't get Broncos tickets
