I apologize though. I hate when "They" win.

This is our 7th, never bought a ticket for a baby for anything in the last 16 years, not even the Jimmy Buffet concert we took a 4 week old to.
Woohoo! Starting that kid off right aren't you???
Another example of people trying to do things right rather than doing the right things. So concerned about following the letter of the rules rather than the spirit.
Why wait until the child is birthed? Pregnant=extra ticket.
When my oldest son was two MONTHS old, we took him to an all-day racing event at the Hockheimring in Germany. There were around 85,000 people there that day. He slept most of the time, and to this day, he still likes F1 racing. Good kid!

Hey, come on, Mr. Responsible Citizen (but you can't carry in the taxpayers' house that I rent) has legal bills to pay.
Houston Texans:
Is there an age limit for entrance into the stadium without purchasing a ticket?
Yes, all children two years and older need a ticket to attend the game.
Tennesee Titans:
Children - Under Age 2
Children under age 2 may be held in an adult's lap and are not required to have a ticket to the game. Children must not disturb other patrons in surrounding seats or this privilege may be revoked.
Jacksonville:
Does my child need a ticket to enter EverBank Field?
Children under 34 inches may obtain a complimentary Lap Pass Ticket at the game day ticket office. For more information on the lap pass ticket, please contact the Jaguars Fan Services Department at (904) 633-6000.
So sounds like the Colts have a pretty lousy, fan-unfriendly policy compared to the rest of the teams in their division.

We took my daughter to both pacers games and colts games as a young'n. They basically had the attitude that if she could be held or sit in our lap we were good without a ticket. As long as she wouldn't require a seat for her butt we didn't need a ticket was their general attitude towards it. May just depend on who you deal with at the window.
And THAT, ladies and gents, is why I only watch them on tv, or not. Not one thin dime. No jerseys, no hats, no nothing. I don't particularly have anything against them, but the owners and some of the players are obviously confused about who needs whom in this relationship.
BIL has 4 season tickets. He is a died in the wool fan. We have been to a few season games and 2 playoff games on his tickets. Those free days always cost at least $100 with parking/snacks/beers etc.
I like the experiences we have had but the TV is so much better. We DVR the game yesterday and watched it when we came inside. Blew through the mindless commercials and sideline talking head crap.
Perfect.
My beer is a lot colder.

We've been to a couple games and it's exciting. I've never bought a ticket, but when the tickets are free we park at the $10 lawn lots and walk. I might have a bottle of water and popcorn, but that's about all I want. I am a Colts fan, but don't enjoy crowds.
Yesterday I spent the day with my longbow in Deem Wilderness area. When I got home the wife and I watched the game on DVR and blew through the commercials too. All in all a perfect day.
When my son was small we took him with us everywhere. If he couldn't (or shouldn't) go, we didn't go. He's 20 now and still spends time with us. We didn't pay for him to go anywhere until about age 2. According to JT's research it looks like the Colts are behind the curve on family friendly.

Just move on down to another entrance and look for different ticket taker. Either someone that looks miserable and could care less about their job or someone friendly and smiling.
Also look for a supervisor and politely plead your case. There is always a few people in charge at any event with a handful of Comp Tickets tucked in their pocket to resolve problems that may come up from time to time. They could explain the policy (if one actually exist) and chances are might simply hand you a third ticket to get through the gate.
So, what you're saying is your 5 month old is a deadbeat who can't afford his own ticket? Get him a job. Cut this off now before it becomes a habit.
My wife went to 32 team websites, 27 do not require tickets for small children. The Saints don't require tickets until 5 years old. Only 5 teams require a purchased ticked, Colts, Steelers, Packers, Browns, and of course the Patriots because they are the devil.
most issue a free pass so they know how many people are in the stadium.
