It seems New Schiano Order fever still has a ways to go to reach the wallets of Bucs fans across the region.

Bucs officials this evening are advising that the Bucs must sell another 9,000 tickets to Sunday’s Chargers-Bucs game by 1 p.m. on Thursday to avoid having the game blacked out on local television. Yes, that 9K is to reach the 85 percent of non-premium tickets sold, the threshold to avoid the blackout.

Joe doesn’t want to be a downer, but that’s a lot of tickets to move with an election tomorrow that’s going to distract a lot of people — and depress about half of them on Wednesday.

Per Ticketmaster.com, $30 seats are available.
