Quote from: Capt Pat on June 17, 2025, 09:57:24 PMHad to settle for a pretty bad view seat after hours of trying to get the ticketmaster website to work. It was very frustrating. I didn't get what I wanted and there is no proper way of getting in touch with ticketmaster so they might put things right.

Ticketmaster don't seem to care with events like these, they know it will sell out and they will get their money. You have no real right of reply.

I know I'm in the minority but I had a very pleasant experience this afternoon and had a great selection of seats available.

Is there no studio coverage on Sky Sports NFL coverage this year or did I just miss it?

I think there is, Reynolds, Suh and the excruciating "J Bell" were on location at the Jets Steelers game

Ah ok. I didn't even see that game was on and watched the Bucs v Falcons game instead.

Seems I missed the entire channel and was watching the secondary channel

I couldn't find it either. I had a bad day at the office.

Sky will have a choice of two games at 6pm & 9pm this year, instead of the usual one game at each slot

Anyone have their ticket for the Dublin Steelers v Vikings game delivered yet? I am still waiting on mine.

I ordered two sets of two on release day. One set of two have been delivered but not the other two.

Not bad for a kid from Belfast...his da wasn't a bad player either! Delighted for CJ and the work he has put in. Has been a lot of talent through St Malachy's and Belfast Star over the years but they out the hours in and this is for all of them
