NFL Ticket Brokers Glossary
NFL ticket brokers use a variety of slang and professional vernacular to describe tickets and the various situations which surround NFL tickets sales. Here are a few to remember, for future reference:
Venue: The location of the football game; the stadium.
Season Ticket Packages: A set of season tickets, purchased for a specific section and number of people.
Cream/killer: This is brokers’ slang for good seats
Mustard: slang for bad seats (situated before an aisle where people block your view and spill mustard from hot-dogs into your lap)
Blinker: Fake ticket
Fronts: A good ticket, close to the first row
Beer-run seats: Bad seats (in busy spot) made to sound good
Lambeau Leap tickets: Tickets to the Packers’ Lambeau Field, close to where players perform the famous leap
Fireman tickets: Tickets to the Jets, near where a fireman (who wears his hat to every game) sits, on the 50-yard line
Long: Too many tickets and not enough orders (“I’m long on the Jets!”)
Get-ins: Ticket to the very worst seats, just so long as you “get in” the venue
Dog Pound: Tickets to the notorious section of the Cleveland Browns’ stadium
Black Hole: Tickets to the Raiders Black Hole section, where the hardcore fans sit
Brokers also use a form of the phonetic alphabet, but they use alternate words:
Apple, Baby, Charlie, Danny, Edward, Frankie, Georgie, Harry, etc
