11/5: Bengals get ticket extension

For the third time this year, the Bengals have received a 24-hour extension to avoid a local television blackout.

 

The Bengals have 3,000 tickets remaining for Sunday's game against Baltimore, which is the same amount of tickets they had at this point for the Oct. 18 game against Houston.

 

If the game is not sold out by 1 p.m. Friday, the game will be blacked out in Cincinnati, Lexington and Dayton. The game will be aired in Columbus. The Bengals have a 48-game regular-season and playoff sellout streak.

 

Through seven games, Bengals ratings locally are up 36 percent with a 33.9 rating and 58 percent market share (it was 25.0/49 last year). That is the second biggest increase in the league with Arizona leading at 37 percent.
