Last week, the Chargers found a way to sell 3,900 tickets at the eleventh hour, in order to allow the home game against the Chiefs to be televised locally.

This week, the Chargers still have to sell 7,200 tickets, in order to allow the home game against the Dolphins to be televised locally.

If the tickets can indeed be sold, the game will be televised on KFMB-TV in San Diego and KCBS-TV in Los Angeles.

It’s possible that the Chargers and/or some sponsors paid 34 cents on the dollar in order to “buy” the unsold tickets and lift the blackout.

In L.A., the fallback game is Patriots-Raiders. And so we’d suspect that folks in Los Angeles are hoping that the Chargers game doesn’t sell out.
