Question for ticket collectors... 2015-16 AFC Championship Game.

Hi all,

I'm looking for a printed ticket from the 2015-2016 AFC Championship between the Broncos and Patriots as it's a super meaningful game to me. I've got my program, pom-pom and confetti but would love to have a hard copy ticket from that game.

It was probably one of the best moments of my life. I was looking at tickets the night before the game and asked my Mom if it would be okay if I bought a single ticket and went by myself. She said "you better call your Dad first," I called him and told him my idea and he said "Dude, I've been thinking about it all week." he then asked if I wanted to go and I said definitley. He told me to call him when I found a pair of tickets. The cheapest I could find were in the nosebleeds in section 512 and were about $360 a pop (keep in mind my Dad was deathly afraid of heights.) I told him what I found and asked if he was sure? Without hesitation or any pause he said "do it!" Dad sent me his payment info and we got the tickets and had them sent to our email.

It was an amazing day and one that I'll never forget. We got into the stadium early to watch warmups and I was able to work my way down to the Broncos tunnel on the sideline near the 50 yard line. I was able to pat Peyton on the helmet as he jogged out to the field. He was actually going in for a fist bump but I didn't notice and gave him a pat on the helmet at the last second as I yelled "let's go Peyton!" Later when the game started, my Dad (a Seahawks fan) was frusturated when the crowd would stand and scream when the Broncos defense was out on the field but as time passed and the game was back and forth, I could tell he finally understood what it was all about. At the end of the game we celebrated and hugged. When we were moving from our seats, a drunk fan tripped and fell down four or five rows of seats and crashed into me throwing me over a row and across the isle. My Dad picked me up and looked at the guy with so much fury, I thought he was going to start throwing punches haha. We laughed about it afterwards. I could always count on him to have my back. As we walked down the main concourse he said "congratulations buddy" as we moved out of the stadium amid the sea of fans. It's a memory I'll never forget.

He passed away July of that year and even though next month will mark five years since, I feel like I just talked to him yesterday. Football was one of the many things that bonded us together. So although it's just a game and although it's just a ticket stub, it means so much more than that. Sports are funny like that.

If anyone has anything or any leads it would be very much appreciated.
