They knew the guy was a problem yet they still have him a new contract and reworked. After 1 season decided that taking on dead cap to get rid of him was worth it. Beane really messed up with Diggs. He should have been traded before the new contract

It's not about losing Diggs. It's the dead cap space.

The worst part is how some of you are ok with it as long the Bills stay in Buffalo.

Either way it was a bad move by Beane.

As much as I don't agree with what they are doing, I do hope that by doing this it forces change to what goes on during tailgating. I hope it ends the drunkenness, the table slamming and condiment guys. It becomes more of a corporate feel and less a college feel to it. It's why I wanted a stadium downtown. It would have made tailgating much smaller and guaranteed the end of the those things

Now you can see why many are upset and "fearmongering". They have basically gave the middle finger to the average fan and said we don't want you in the good seats. The plebs move to the back.

Sure they will sell the tickets but the days of the regular average joe owning them sound like they are over. The more you post the more it sounds it's going to be a stadium full of corporate people and less hardcore fans.

Wait til the new law takes affect. I'm sure once the new stadium opens they will crack down on those who re sell the majority of their tickets.

MASSIVE DEMAND at current prices and without PSLs. The Bills aren't moving but I think you will see more buy tickets for 1-2 games on the secondary market opposed to buying seasons and PSLs.

Right now it's enormous. With so far only 75% of club seat ticket holders opting to renew it's not a good thing. I really do think they are going have issues selling all the PSLs.

The $168 has to be the secondary market cause if you go by this site the Bills average ticket price is $101 and second to the bottom. https://www.statista.com/statistics/193595/average-ticket-price-in-the-nfl-by-team/

Maybe not 50% but there will be more visiting fans than at the current stadium.

Guaranteed those will be in the upper corners far away from the field.

That article is over a year old now. The high end is much higher than the speculated $16,500. I see the low end being much higher than $500. I see it closer to $2500 of higher.

You actually think it's going to be $1k to $2k for those seats?

@Rochesterfan @GottaRun, you guys think the PSL is going to be a lot lower than that for the cheap seats?

It's was on the Fans of Buffalo Facebook page. Here is the post. Controversy in Orchard Park! Pricing for the new stadium to be built is starting to leak out of the public. Seat licensing PER SEAT may cost you upwards of $20,000-$50,000. Don’t forget to have to purchase the actual game tickets which are increasing by at least 30%-45%. The Bills are certainly flexing their muscles as the biggest show in town but unfortunately to the dismay of Bills Mafia season ticket holders from what we’ve seen! What are your thoughts on these numbers Buffalo? Edit: These prices are for season ticket holders who are currently located in the Pepsi Club at Highmark. Upper and Lower Level PSL pricing has not been released yet but we are hearing anywhere from $6K-$15K per PSL!

Even at $6000 as the cheapest many said it's too much.

I have my doubts. Going by the comments on the article about the price of the PSLs I saw on Facebook, many are upset and a lot say they are priced out of season tickets now. As far as fans traveling, IMO it's similar to Sabres away games, in that a lot of former WNYers live in a lot of those cities.

Everyone knew this was coming, so I don't understand the outrage.

My point has nothing to do with the IRS or any of that. My point is back in the Rockpile days people bought season tickets cause they were a fan and to see their team. Sometime between then and now it's all about how much money can you profit off them.

IMO that is wrong. I don't get the point of buying tickets if all you are doing is to profit off then. I always thought the point of being a season ticket holder was you were a fan of team. Now it's all about how much money you can make off them. I can understand selling tickets if you can't make the game. To go into the season with the plan of going to 1-2 games and selling the rest I see as a problem.

They could do that. I also think the teams need to start stepping in like the Giants and Broncos did. If you sell more than half of your tickets they revoke them from you. I think it's a joke that season ticket holders sell as many as they do.

With the new law NY state approved, I do wonder how much it will effect the secondary market. If they really crack down on people re-selling their tickets it change things.

Never said that. I Pegula may not care but I'm sure the NFL does. Yes they want to be near the top of revenues.
