Actually, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers experienced success relatively early in their franchise life, making their first postseason appearance in 1979, after finishing the season with a 10-6 record and winning their division. They would go deep into the playoffs, heading all the way to the NFC championship game before falling to the Los Angeles Rams, but would sell tons of Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets that season.

1981 would prove, again, to be a season in which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would look strong, and the play of quarterback Doug Williams would prove pivotal, and the team would head to the playoffs as a division champion once again, though they would fall to the Dallas Cowboys. This did not deter fans, who were awash in expectation of years of football glory, and who would snap up many Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets.
1982 would be a return to postseason activity, though fans would be deprived of such an experience again for nearly 15 years. Still, over all that time, fans proved loyal and eager on many occasions to buy Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets though the team could not quite make it into the postseason on more than a few occasions. Gradually, though, the team would build a solid base and would break through in 1997 for another postseason tournament.
Since 1997, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made the playoffs seven times, and would break through all the way into the 2002 Super Bowl championship game under the field generalship of coach Jon Gruden. Tony Dungy, the Buccaneers previous coach, and who would later go on to win a Super Bowl championship of his own with the Indianapolis Colts, had built a sterling base upon which the unique talents of Gruden would finally propel the team to the heights, along the way completely selling out of Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets on many occasions.
The team has quite often looked like eventual world beaters yet again, though there were a few occasions when fans were given pause to wonder if that would indeed be the case. Yet they still made the playoffs in 2005 and 2007, and sales of Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets still remain strong. A strong initial 2008 season, one in which the Bucs started 9-3, has given fans a reason for great hope in the upcoming season.
For the new season, one in which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to do quite well leading into a possible 2010 postseason, expectations are high for not only on-field performance but also for sales of Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets. New coach Raheem Morris has a strong on-field cast in players like tight end Kellen Winslow II and new quarterback Byron Leftwich, who came over from the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.
