Yorkie, going tot dogs Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 I'm planning on coming over for Christmas and New Year and doing games at Houston and the home game against the Jets. Last time I came to a Browns game I bought a ticket at the stadium but that was back in 1992 against Chargers. I've been checking the Browns website and I've come to the conclusion that there are no stadium ticket sales and that everything is now online via Ticketdisaster. I'm a self confessed Ludite when it comes to tickets on mobile phones and I've never been in a position where that has been the only option. It says on the Browns website that you need to download the Browns app, is this the only way it works? When I sort my ticket for Houston do visiting fans have there own section or is everyone just sat together with no fan segregation. The first game I went to in 1991, we bought tickets from a Sports Shop in Tower City, this was a Ticketmaster outlet. Does this place still exist? Many thanks in advance for any knowledge you can share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I sell any seats, I do it through the Browns App and the person receiving has to have the Browns App as well. Funny....I'll be in Houston visiting family over Christmas so we'll be at the game also. My son handled the tickets, I'm assuming they are also E tickets. There is no ticket segregation there ( I've watched the Browns lose there twice😥) There are secondary tickets sellers, like Stub Hub & Seat Geek. If you're on Facebook,look up the West 4th Tailgate. People post in there about trying to sell seats. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Karbach Brewery is pretty nice with good food🍻 Brilliant! I'll write these down cos I'm a massive real ale fan and lucky for me, being from York I'm surrounded by the stuff. I'm also a keen Darts player so I've been checking out darts pubs and there's loads of em in Houston so happy days. That's the beauty of internet, when I check Karbach Brewery out it will even tell me what bus I need to get on to get to it. All pub recommendations will be checked out and that goes for Cleveland aswell, must be 30 years since I last drank down at the Flats. Thanks for your help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved going to museums and history lessons on the area. I had no idea the Vikings had lived there over 200 years. I did know about the Romans, but I had always seen Vikings as basically raiders and not domestic inhabitants. Loved the inner walled city including walking along the top of the wall.

Glad you enjoyed your visit to my fine City. My family name is of Norse origin and my ancestors on my dad's side were from Wearside which is another river north of York that the Vikings settled next to. So all that considered, I'm probably of Viking stock so I have an interest in that part of our history. They certainly left their mark on my City with many street names being Norse. Hope you got to sample some fine ales in our many historic pubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we had to limit exposure due to COVID or risk getting stuck there if we came up positive with a test required within 24 hours of leaving GB. So we had to pick places with either outside seating or with areas within that were isolated from the main bar area. My wife reminded me that this was not last fall, but the fall of 2021, thus all the COVID requirements for visitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innsbruck is brilliant and surrounded by mountains. They've got a good Ice Hockey team with a cracking bar at the stadium with Hockey stuff on the walls. Two soccer teams playing next door to the Ice hockey stadium. And a space age type train that takes you on the mountain. I've been a good few times and I love the place. We go there for The Four Hills Ski Jumping Tournament which is spectacular and a massive deal to the Austrians. Is your son doing a tour or just staying in Innsbruck?

LondonBrown Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 I used ticketmaster when I last flew over (just checked it was 2015 man that’s gone fast 😩) and the prices were not much different to what they originally sold for from the browns.

I see you are a Spurs fan, I've not done your new place but went to you're old place on many occasions from 90/91 onwards. Had some brilliant piss ups down there. Used to meet up with a good Spurs lad called Tony Parsons and Clair Tomlinson the Sky TV lass who would turn out now and again. Do you know either of em? Tony used to do the lot and go everywhere and drink in The Victoria. Have you ever had the pleasure of a day out in Leeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds at home was always a lively one around the ground. Met CT a few times abroad over years not seen her at home games and that name TP definitely rings a bell The Victoria is one of the few remaining pubs still going, Tottenham is a very bad place compared to the 90s when pubs filled the length of the high road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly advise you to get in contact with the Space City Browns Backers (you need to register on their Facebook page). https://brownsbackersworldwide.com/chapters/space-city-dawg-pound/ I've made two trips to Houston to see the Browns, and these guys will steer you right. Besides throwing a bash Saturday night, they also have a great Tailgate, and If you need a hotel (don't know if their block of rooms is sold out yet) Holiday Inn NRG- if the hotel was any closer, it would be in the stadium parking lot. 😉 PS- if you buy your tickets through the NFL site, there's only moderate difficulty loading them into a Ticketmaster app on your cell phone. Trust me, using the Texans app was one unholy nightmare getting my ticket usable. PPS as London Brown suggested- the Great Lakes Brewery on West 25th Street would be a place to check out Saturday night. It's not near the stadium, but I'll attest their beers and selection are first rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I buy my Tickets on The Browns website for both games will I just need the one Browns App or am I better off getting a Ticketmaster App. I have no clue about this sort of thing as I have only ever used paper tickets before. Definateley interested in the Browns piss up on saturday night. Had a look at the Great Lakes Brewery and it's half hour walk from where I plan on staying and looks well worth a visit. Are you familiar with the Harbour pub down on the flats? I've got my eye on chucking some darts in there. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to Wycombe a couple of times and I remember a couple of decent boozers with real ale but can't remember the names. I have an extensive knowledge of great London pubs as I've boozed it up round there so many times and organised themed Piss Ups down there, The Krays/ Jack the Ripper pubs as an example. Wycombe is a short train ride from London so if you ever pop down there on an all dayer I can give you tons of ideas. Not bad for a Yorkshire Lad that lives nowhere near London.
