WGR is ditching its App for Radio.com
vanhalen26 replied to BuffaloRush's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wow - I wanted to hear some postgame talk this eve and I think it’s just run at least 30 minutes of consecutive ads. What garbage. -

Not working through Apple CarPlay for me I wish they’d go back to what worked -

Radio app not available in the Apple App Store in Canada. Another victim of the trade war? Joking aside, dumb move for a border city where a good chunk of the user/listener base is from Canada. -
I had to turn it off, too painful...

Did You Upgrade Your Seasons Tickets?
vanhalen26 replied to Razor15's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes - hoping for seats that are parity or better. Mine are at the 30, the best 4 together at the moment are at the goal-line unfortunately. Always empty singles near us for every game, so our family of four can sit together by the second quarter, but it would be a little easier if we had 4 together from the start. Ah well. -
Did You Upgrade Your Seasons Tickets?
vanhalen26 replied to Razor15's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I know its an old thread ... I searched for a ticket discussion instead of starting a new one. We have 3 in 110, but want to increase to 4. Seems to be quite difficult unless I want to buy a single season and hope I can combine in the future. That's too bad. If anyone has 4 lower bowl near mid-field like ours and wants to reduce to 3 for some reason (kid's moved out etc!), feel free to reach out. -
Interesting, that could change things.! I couldn’t find much about how that will be implemented online but we’ll see. It looks like each team can decide which ‘partner’ to use. I read cowboys actually dumped Ticketmaster. Hopefully the bills enable stubhub in a seamless and automated manner, don’t impose floor price restrictions, and allow sales up until game time. I take enough of a loss on some of the games I can’t attend, won’t be happy if it gets worse.

They are doing it to cut out stubhub and have more control over pricing IMHO. Stubhub has a floor price of $6 (Plus fees), ticket exchange is slightly below face value. By making stubhub difficult to use, and no longer support sales within 24/48 hours of a game, they drive people back to ticket exchange and get to enjoy the revenue associated with a resale. So if you have seats that are at the back row of a pricepoint and want to sell cheaply just to move them and many seats are at this new high priced floor - good luck as their are likely better seats at the same floor price within the new section. This offends me as I come from out of town and don’t attend all games - and this will make dec games when they are out of the race difficult to sell. I wouldn’t be bothered as much if ticket exchange had a low floor price so I could choose what I’m willing to sell the tickets I paid for at - but only stub hub let’s you do that. This will cost STHs $$ if you don’t attend all games.

TBD SIGN UP parking Hammer’s Lot for Raiders
vanhalen26 replied to mead107's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I hear you OC - just juggling my enjoyment of the games and tailgating with getting home early in Toronto to relieve my babysitter (75 year old mother some games) as she finds watching my 2 kids (grades 4 & 6) taxing - and if I tax her too much shell stop agreeing to help! -

Ah - so its hit and miss on how quick you can get home from there - last week I flew, this week slow crawl. I guess Ill have to consider a post game tailgate on occasion! -
TBD SIGN UP parking Hammer’s Lot for Raiders
vanhalen26 replied to mead107's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thanks so much guys. That was crazy good fun again. Question - can you normally turn left onto Big Tree when leaving? Today the road was closed if trying to go left. Ive parked at Hammers twice now. First time took me 25 minutes to get to the peace bridge. Today it took close to an hour to get to Big Tree Road. Thx! -

Alright - leaving Toronto at 7am, quick stop at Wegmans (technically beef isnt allowed across the border so why risk it, whats a tailgate without steak!), and then hopefully room remains. If you can hold a spot in your corner that would be great, if not I understand as Ill be in on the later side (9:30). Ill have TBD on the dash just in case. See you all tomorrow! Go Bills! -

Id love to again this week but best guess is 9:30 if you can hold a spot. Ken (from Toronto) -
Its good for a grocery store, but no match for a pizzeria.

TBD Parking at Hammer’s Lot, Tampa game
vanhalen26 replied to mead107's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd love to but realistically don't think I can get there till 10. Driving in from Toronto with my father in law whose mid 70s so we won't be on the road show early. It will be his first bills game! -
Where to buy bills tailgate gear
vanhalen26 replied to vanhalen26's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ha! Guess I'll order for future pickup, maybe add my Watkins jersey to the dumpster mentioned above! Thx! -
Hey - other than the obvious like Dicks, walmart, target, etc any good spots to buy gear with bills logo? I'm just driving in and most places seem to no longer carry stock but can deliver in a weeks time. No big deal but if I could grab stuff today I might - being a night game I have a little more free time before the game!

Hey gang. How is it getting in and out of the lots by the stadium? Bills have a pretty good price on season parking and I'm thinking of grabbing it. Usually I park out near Kettles - a longer walk but we miss a lot of the traffic and because the lots out there are pretty small we get out of them quickly. We want a fun lot to tailgate (but not crazy drinking or blasting tunes or too much swearing as we bring our kids sometimes), but also want to get moving quickly as we have a two hour drive home and it's usually a school night for the kids! Thx

Hey there. Wondering if most people kept their seasons. I was looking at Ticketmaster and sales for a lot of games look pretty weak this year vs the last couple years. I benefited a little - was able to upgrade my seasons from row 3 in 310 to row 24 in 110 so I'm pretty stoked about that. Only drawback is I had to grab 3 as they wouldn't sell just two and it might be hard to find a 3rd sometimes as we travel in from a couple hours out. That said - I should be able to get some of my $ back through ticket exchange or whatever. I'll just look at the losses on the third as a seat license fee!
