  1. Just an example. I have 4 seats. We normally enter all together but sometimes 2 want to go to the Bills Store or the field house just before we get into the stadium. If the 4 tickets are in my phone how am I supposed to handle that? In the past I'd have just given them their tickets/cards/pdf. PITA indeed.

    As season holders I don't know if we will still be getting the cards but pdf tickets are no longer an option. I and the people who I am giving/selling tickets to will need to play with our freaking smartphones. It was so much easier to email the tickets or print and mail them. Definitely harder for people like me who are a bit older. We need to download the App My one Buffalo.

    Do you think they are just so confident they can sell them, if all other things are equal why not take the local folk and keep it more of a home crowd?

     

    I see your point but I strongly believe that the Bills definitely need the "help" of season ticket holders living more than 200 miles from Buffalo in order to sell out New Era Field especially for the December games. In Seattle there is a wait list to be on the wait list. I would understand if the Seahawks would kick everybody who doesn't reside close to Seattle out. No more ticket brokers or people selling all their tickets without attending a single game but the Bills? Come on.....   

  4. I'm an accountant and I don't get that from an economic point of view (That's all they care after all $$$). The Bills were fighting for a playoff spot last December. They played their home games in front of thousands and thousands of empty seats and they decide to stop selling any season tickets to anyone living outside a 200 miles radius around Buffalo? It just doesn't make any sense at all. I don't get the logic. I would understand if the Seahawks or the Patriots would be doing that but the Bills? Seriously?

    So do you attend any or just try to flip all tix for a profit?

     

    When I bought my seasons in 2007 I was living in Montreal. At the time I was going to about 50% of the games and was selling the rest to my friends/family members. I moved to Vancouver in 2010 and I no longer can attend games  (1 per season at the most). I rely on my friends/family members but they take only my September and October games. Selling the rest on the secondary market is not easy. There is no good reason for me to keep my seasons other than feeling a bond with my team.

     

  6. I'm assuming that we will hear from the Bills pretty soon and I expect an increase because they made the playoffs. Bills tickets are pretty affordable so I will have no issue with a reasonable raise but I might drop my number of seats from 4 to 2. Finding people to go to preseason games and December games had been next to impossible even for this season with the Bills "successfully" fighting for a postseason spot. Preseason (2) + December games (3) = 50% of the season tickets. I can't continue losing money like that every year even though it's not a large sum of money. 2 Seats instead of 4 will do the job in my case. 

  7. Only 3 games left to the season. We are in an exciting hunt for a playoffs spot. We are not even mathematically eliminated for the first place in our division. Last home game of the season against a divisional opponent and tickets for Sunday are $13????? Are you kidding me? People love December football. Yeah right. And we have a thread making fun of the fans in Los Angeles.  

  8. The Bills have a huge huge problem. They didn't raise the price of their tickets for a little while now. Their average price is way below the rest of the league. My Bills tickets are $59 and my Seahawks tickets (who are not as good as my Bills tickets) are $96. There is no way that the Bills will increase their prices for 2018 and despite all that Bills tickets are currently selling for only 10% of their face value (Already very low). All that with a month left in the season and the team only 1 game behind in the playoffs hunt. It doesn't look good. For now it's the owner's problem but I hope that it will not become the fans' problem.....

    I understand that our record on mnf since the 07 Dallas Monday night game is bad. Actually we don't even have a win on mnf since 07. 

     

    However, every Monday night game we've been on has been great (from an entertainment standpoint). Set your bills Fandom aside for a minute and think of our Monday night games starting with Dallas. 

    Dallas 07

    Cleveland 08

    Patriots 09

    Cleveland 13

    Patriots 15

    Seahawks 16

     

    I may have forgotten one, but all the ones I listed were great games (again from an entertainment standpoint). All had close scores and some came down to the final minute or second. Imo the NFL should absolutely give the bills at least one mnf game a year. 

    Just a correction, the Bills don't have a win on MNF since 1999 not 2007.
