  1. It’ll be like most new stadiums, first 3-5 years it’s a shiny new toy and people are willing to pay for the experience.  But at the end of the day its just a ‘vehicle’ to host an event and the newness premium fades away.

     

    I actually did a study on that for my thesis in university.  Wasn’t terribly deep but clearly a trend that prices shoot up with new venues and slowly come back down over time.

     

    No guarantee, but that’s what often happens.

    They aren’t.  Grin and bear it.  Snow gets shoveled down and taken out through the field by hauler.  At some point they have to get the field open for the game.  When that happens, it’s over and the seats are in ten condition they’ll be in for the game. 

    Oh jeez.  Another snow ball event.

  3. I’m getting excited about next year.  Lucked into some depth on D now when these injuries are behind us.  And I think if we focus on WR in the draft, that’s the current missing piece.  Maybe even trade #88 for a WR of similar caliber - would be a win win trade, we are a bit redundant at TE.

  4. It was fine for me in Canada last year.  I’m going to get it again for the season, hopefully no major changes.  
     

    We get every single game, and you can buy six months for $100, and split with a friend for $50 each (two devices at once is ok).  In $US it’s about $75.  We Canadians get ripped off on so much, but at least DAZN is reasonable by comparison to that sh*t show between Google/YouTube, paramount, Amazon and whoever else grabs streaming rights that you guys have to deal with.

    $150 doesn't seem like an indicator of the pricing and more "stop everyone from signing up regardless if they actually intend to buy tickets" and to keep the scalpers out. The tickets may end up being very costly, but I doubt this means anything about it. 


    To me it does.  If they were confident about selling out to season seat holders, they wouldn’t need a secondary list.  I do agree that $150 isn’t much, but to me it’s the signal sent by creating a backup list of interested people.  $150 is just enough to prevent people who don’t have a genuine interest from adding their name to the list.

    I have seasons and there is a group of about 8 next to us.  They've told me that they are done when they switch over to the new stadium.  They implied they can't afford it.

    Years ago, I met a Jets fan who had been a long time season ticket holder.  When they moved to Met Life he dropped them.  He said he didn't want to pay that much to see a game.


    I guess the plus side is the bills stay in Buffalo and I can still go to a game or two a year.

  7. The bills sent out two emails this morning about the new stadium and season seats.

     

    The first was to tell current season seat holders they are at the front of the line for the new stadium.

     

    The second was to app subscribers etc inviting them to make a $150 deposit to hold  a place in line for seasons to the new stadium.

     

    Given the seating capacity reduction in store for the new stadium, makes me a bit nervous to see that they anticipate they will have season seats available to new subscribers / members.  Makes me thing they expect a lot of attrition and turn over with the PSL pricing and new seat pricing.  

     

    I do expect to be priced out of my seats but I’ll still get something.  Mine are behind the bills bench in a low row.  I anticipate them rebranding those seats as clubs and pricing accordingly.  When I look at other teams and stadiums, many of the seats between the 35s on the lower bowls are sold as club seats … but in Buffalo they’ve traditionally been regular seats sold at a small premium, but nowhere near club pricing.

  8. First off, I do commend this team - they did well given the bizarre season they endured.  I stayed to the end yesterday just to applaud them for their effort.  I think the season finally caught up to them yesterday, it happens.

     

    One change I support tho is moving on from Dorsey.  So many OCs can make a third string QB look good with an effective system and I just saw a lot of randomness and lack of creativity out of ours.  
     

    Gonna be tough next year, we have cap realities to deal with and a pretty tough schedule.  I think next year might be a bit of a step back before we move forward again, sort of like the early Beane/McD years.  That would be a shame tho as Josh is hitting his prime.

    I saw the price by putting my cursor over a section.  most times the cheapest price of that section comes up.  This is on desktop not mobile.  And make sure you have the re-sale tickets disabled so it only shows the pre-sale face value stuff

    That worked.  Thx

    I honestly think they'll wait until Monday and see what happens this weekend.

    LOL now the pricing is gone. And so it continues...

    How did you see the pricing?  I was curious if it was the same pricing for both season seat fan groups in the presale or if maybe the bills and chiefs set pricing for their fans independently.

     

    I ended up buying upper bowl.  At Highmark I’m row 16 on the 40 behind the bills bench, but here it was over double the price (was $300 per seat in Buffalo).
