Get Chargers tickets for all the big games

Even though I’ve been a huge football fan my whole life, I’ve only seen a handful of games in person. That’s because here in the San Diego area, Chargers tickets are pretty expensive and hard to come by — especially since the team has emerged as a perennial contender for the AFC West title. Plus, with franchise players like LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates on the roster, as well as promising young guys like Philip Rivers and Anotnio Cromartie, it’s just going to get even more difficult to score good Chargers tickets in upcoming seasons.

For those of us who don’t have any inside connections with the San Diego organization, the best shot at getting Chargers tickets would be by going through an online ticket broker. Contrary to popular belief, using a ticket broker doesn’t automatically mean you’ll end up spending hundreds of dollars above face value to get into the game you want to see. Instead, most ticket brokers simply tack on a nominal fee to cover their service charges. I don’t know about you, but I’d gladly pay that in order to get Chargers tickets for all the big games!

Best available deals on Chargers tickets

Since there are so many brokers operating online today, it pays to do a bit of homework before forking over your cash. By spending time comparing different pricing structures, you’ll likely end up securing the best available deals on Chargers tickets. I’ve used a couple of brokers in the past, and I think it’s important to have a stadium seating chart handy before ordering so you can see exactly where your seats will be. That way, you’ll have a better idea of whether or not you’re getting charged a fair price for your Chargers tickets.

Another thing I always do before ordering is check out the broker’s reputation with past customers. I’m not talking about the testimonials found right there on the website, but about genuine, honest feedback at third-party sites from unbiased customers. That’s where you can learn about how good the broker’s seats are, how their customer service is, and how easy it was to pick up your Chargers tickets on game day. These are all important considerations that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Take it from a longtime San Diego football fan: there’s nothing like catching a game in person at Qualcomm Stadium when the Bolts are in the hunt for a playoff berth! Be sure you have a way to buy some Chargers tickets this season so you can get in on the action too!

The mood in the Russia camp was positively bullish following their 2-0 victory against Sweden, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov insisting that, with progress to the UEFA EURO 2008™ quarter-finals assured, they are now planning on staying in Austria-Switzerland until the end of the month.Arshavin praise
Appearing for the first time at these finals following a two-match suspension, Andrei Arshavin inspired the requisite victory in Innsbruck to set up a mouth-watering tie with the Netherlands. His astute pass instigated the move that led to Roman Pavlyuchenko’s 24th-minute opener and the No10 then launched and sealed the flowing move which rubber-stamped second place in Group D. It was a performance that did not go unnoticed among his team-mates. “Arshavin put on a superb show,” said Yuri Zhirkov, who set up the No10’s strike five minutes after the break. “He was a true leader. We were thinking only of victory and we won on merit. When Arshavin scored the second goal, we realised we would not let go of this victory. Now we have to have revenge on the Dutch for the 4-1 friendly defeat.”

Bilyaletdinov bullish
That loss in February of last year was a fairly rare, pre-tournament indication of what was to come from the Netherlands as an attacking force, though Bilyaletdinov underlined the pitfalls of Dutch complacency. “They beat us 4-1 when we last played, so they possibly have it in their heads that Russia are not to be taken seriously. We must take advantage of this. Now we want more than just qualification from the group. We don’t want to go home until 30 June, but it won’t be any easier from now on.”

Recuperation time
This last point was echoed by captain Sergei Semak, who admitted that “the Dutch have made the best impression at the tournament”. With just two days to recuperate before Saturday’s quarter-final in Basel, Russia could have done with an easy run-out against Sweden; not wholly unsurprisingly, with their opponents needing only a point to finish second ahead of Russia, they did not get it. “I don’t think it was easy at all; we spent a lot of energy and emotion on this match,” admitted Semak. “We are very happy to have qualified but there’s no euphoria, we need to prepare for the next match. The most important thing is to recover. We get less time to do it, but I am sure we will recover in time and then we’ll see what we can do.”

Date of birth: 8 November 1946
Nationality: Dutch
Playing career: SC Varsseveld, De Graafschap (three times), PSV Eindhoven, NEC Nijmegen, Washington Diplomats, San Jose Earthquakes
Coaching career: De Graafschap, PSV Eindhoven (assistant), PSV, Fenerbahçe SK, Valencia CF, Netherlands, Real Madrid CF, Real Betis Balompié, Korea Republic, PSV, Australia, Russia 

The Russian press had dubbed Guus Hiddink a coaching wizard long before a magical sequence of results conspired to send his side to UEFA EURO 2008™. Winger Yuri Zhirkov said: “What else can you call him, given that he has taken so many teams to World Cups and European Championships?”

Hired in April 2006 after winning another Dutch title with PSV Eindhoven and before taking unfancied Australia to the knockout stages of the FIFA World Cup, the Dutchman – who signed a new two-and-a-half year deal in March – had previously steered the Netherlands and Korea Republic to World Cup semi-finals in 1998 and 2002 respectively. He returned to Eindhoven for 2002/03 and proved his Midas touch had not deserted him at club level either, winning the championship in his first term back at the PSV Stadion, adding a Dutch double in 2004/05 and running AC Milan all the way in an enthralling UEFA Champions League semi-final. The domestic crown was successfully defended in 2005/06, by which time Hiddink was also working with Australia, who he guided to the World Cup last 16 before a last-gasp penalty against Italy ended their hopes.

It was all a far cry from his undistinguished playing career, encompassing spells at SC Varsseveld, De Graafschap, PSV, NEC Nijmegen, Washington Diplomats and San Jose Earthquakes. As a coach, he joined the PSV set-up under Jan Reker and Hans Kraay, taking sole charge in March 1987 and piloting the club to three Dutch titles and a defeat of SL Benfica in the 1988 European Champion Clubs’ Cup final. Stints with some of Europe’s leading teams - Fenerbahçe SK, Valencia CF, Real Madrid CF and Real Betis Balompié, with the Netherlands job in between – further enhanced his reputation before he accepted the Korean challenge in 2001.
