Titans fans camp out to buy tickets

Henry Gann, a Titans fan, arrived at LP Field on Wednesday and set up camp outside the ticket office.

‘I’m interested in the Indianapolis Colts game and the San Diego Chargers game,’ Gann said. ‘I’d like to see Billy Volek when he comes back to Nashville.’

The Titans have sold out 83 consecutive home games and the majority of single-game tickets are bought within the first hour, including some games as fast as five minutes.

‘Since we opened LP Field in 1999, this has always been an exciting day that really kicks off the beginning of the season for us and lets everyone know that Titans football is just around the corner,’ said Marty Collins, senior director of ticketing for the Titans, in a news release.

Gann said most of the people who are also waiting in line with him are hoping to get tickets to the Colts game as well for a chance to see former Tennessee star and now Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

Eight regular season tickets are available along with two exhibition games. Price ranges from $34 to $67.

Despite the line of fans outside the arena, most fans purchased tickets online.

But Gann said there are advantages to camping out.

‘In the past, I noticed on TV that the folks that come here, usually get the seats that they want,’ Gann said. ‘And they save some money by not have to pay convenience charges and handling fees.’
