    Prediction:  they will offer you a “code” to use for a one-time future purchase in the amount of your original purchase.

     


    I dealt with them for another event earlier this week and their response time on questions was brutal.  And they close their phone lines at 11.  That’s not bad for us, but if you bought a west coast event and have an issue you’re screwed.  And they don’t answer questions directly either - they say we have a guarantee we’ll stand behind.

     

    I bought seats to a sold out event and the seller wasn’t delivering the ticket.  Meanwhile more seats were made available thru Ticketmaster and I couldn’t get a direct reply on whether they’d refund or buy me a similar replacement … so I couldn’t just buy a new ticket from Ticketmaster.  I don’t like them at all.

    For real?  So Lions season ticket holders are able to scoop up 4 lowers for free before Bills season ticket holders have a chance to purchase tickets for a Bills "home" game?  Jeez.

     

    Savvy Lions ST holders could scoop up their 4 freebies and scalp them off...if they get anything it's a profit and if they are stuck with them they aren't out a penny.


    I’d either make all free or all paid.  If there’s a bunch of free ones Stubhub will be flooded with cheap seats and then people who paid at todays onsale will feel dumb. I won’t be happy if I pay a couple hundred a seat and then similar seats are on Stubhub for $20.  But what can you do, they are doing the best they can on a short window and also want to make sure they get some asses in the seats.

     

    Im wondering if it’s reserved or general admission of some sort.  Hoping reserved, just seems calmer and more organized.

  2. I wonder which side of the field the bills will claim.  Normally I’d assume the lions side, but McDermott seems to like consistency.  Since they play again Thursday it wouldn’t surprise me if the bills setup on the visitor side.  Curious as i prefer sitting on the bills side so I’d hope to know before I buy my tickets.

    If he’s out 1-2 games, I could see a VERY motivated “win it for Josh” Bills team out there in front of a home crowd.  
     

    If he’s out 4-6 games, I’d worry of a bit of a letdown against a good team as they recalibrate and move forward. 

    If he’s out two, I’d guess it’s 3.  Doesn’t seem worth rushing back for lions on a short week. If he skips lions, then next up are Pats on a Thursday.

  4. What a mess.  Sounds like a bot.  Looks like barcodes are required by sept 17 so this scam will wrap up by then.  It’s quite clever actually if it’s running across a high number of events.  If it’s all automated, even a low sales rate can collect some descent profit by doing nothing.

  5. Seems weird.  I often list on both Ticketmaster and stubhub when I can’t attend.  And the listings are linked through a Ticketmaster / stubhub partnership where if they sell on one platform the other listing gets removed as well.

     

    And when I list on stubhub I need to provide a barcode.  I wonder why they are allowing listings without bar codes.  It’s sure creating issues.  It looks like they aren’t requiring the barcodes for listings until Sept 17.

     

    I guess the workaround is just list on stubhub first, and then Ticketmaster.  Then whoever is doing this won’t have the chance to create a shadow listing of your tickets.  If they are getting any sales, they must be making a fortune.

  6. Get your mouses ready, seats go onsale for individual games May 12.  If your looking for tix, jump onto one of these methods to get the game(s) you want.  

     

    I got two emails from the bills, they seem a little contradictory.  
     

    I have seasons and they will be providing a code for preferred access with a limit of 6 tickets per game per account, with the onsale at 8pm May 12.  

     

    Got a second email to an address not associated with my season seat account, and it also offers preferred access if you create a profile on the app.  Same day/time as the season seats - 8pm May 12.  

     

    So I guess seats are available to all, provided you follow one of the two steps above.  The first email made it sound like season seat holders get an earlier presale but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

     

    Now let the schedule leaks begin so we can start planning!!  Go bills, can’t wait! 
     

    I’m in Canada and with all the border crap, extra starved to get back to games this year.  Only made it to MNF last year, and then that turd Trudeau basically closed the border again unless you jumped thru a bunch of hoops.  I’m so starved to get back!

  7. This reminds me of the raptors.  We were a strong team in contention.  Coach Dwayne Casey was doing a great job of developing the young talent but he could never get us over the hump.

     

    The raptors fired him and promoted Nick Nurse.  I disagreed with the firing at the time, but it turned out different skills were needed for a contending team vs a developing team - and a new coach and some bold all in trades got us a championship.

     

    I’m undecided about Sean.  I think I’d give him one more year, he knows what in game shortcomings he needs to adjust and it’s not that hard.  Either team could have won it - and losing both coin tosses may have been as much of a factor as anything.

     

    Sucks tho, a different strategy at the end of the 4th and we’d be hosting next weekend.

  8. Do I like it?  No.  pain in the ass as I have seasons to three different teams and don’t attend every game.  
     

    Is it overreach?  Not in my opinion - most aren’t making significant $ over this, but some use as a nice tax free cash grab and should pay their share.
