Hmm, practice tickets available at 10 AM today, and all sold out by 12 noon when I checked.

If anyone has an extra ticket, please let me know.

I don't have any. The mother ship is saying they were all distributed within six minutes.

I was somewhat interested in going to one or two next month, but I can't say I'm too disappointed I don't have any right now. The training camp experience is so poor now imo, at least compared to the first few years of the franchise. It is too crowded for the current setup, and the team seems rather disinterested in improving the (albeit free) events.

Perhaps this is easier for me to say since I am still willing to pay a ransom for season tickets and parking and do not rely on a free camp ticket to watch the team in person (oh, and it will be televised by Hard Knocks too of course), but it is disappointing since I know the training camp experience can be improved if desired.

If anyone has extras let me know. My 6 year old son and I have gone for 3 years in a row, but I was in the back of a moving truck with no wifi when they became available yesterday.

I would think that 6 minutes may make them think a little harder about adding more seats. Hell do like the Cowboys did in San Antonio and hold it in the big stadium.
