    My Buddy who is not a Bills fan, but knows football, watched the game Sunday. His takeaway was Milano is the best LB he's seen this year.

    My buddy who's a Phins fan texted me during the game and said "Matt Milano always seems to be in the right place, reminds me of Zach Thomas"

     

    He's been excellent

  2. As a STH I used to receive a card in the mail with my Bills Bucks credit on it.  This year I didn't receive anything 

     

    Coming up for the game this Monday and was going to use my credit at the store.  Any other STH please let me know if you received yours this year, or if you know what's going on

  3. I have 2 tickets available in Section 134, row 44. Really good seats in the lower level along the Bills sideline on the 45 yard line.

     

    I haven't had time to see what tickets to this game are selling for on Stubhub, but I'd be willing to sell them for a bit less, plus you don't have to pay all the fees stubhub tacks on.

     

    Let me know, send me a message if interested

  4. I have 2 tickets available in Section 134, row 44.  They are my season tickets, my brother and I will be sitting right next to you. We have 4 tickets total and are only using 2.

     

    I've been a STH since 2002 and IMHO the sight lines from my current seats are the best in the stadium.

     

    50 yard line, lower level on Bills home side, right below the box where John Murphy and Eric Wood call the game from. 

     

    Right now seats in my section are selling for $550-$600 after stubhub tacks on their absurd fees.

     

    I'd be willing to sell the pair for $890. I save you from paying the stubhub fees and you save me from paying stubhub fees.

     

    Feel free to reach out if interested.

  6. I think Matakevich is a cut candidate. Bills media talks about him like he's a roster lock, and maybe he is, but I think the $2.5M in cap savings is being overlooked.

     

    Bills could think to themselves they have Spector for one third the price. They also have the insurance policy of Andre Smith after his 6 week suspension, who's also a lot cheaper

    This 100%. Resale on tickets is a false for sure. Maybe you get lucky a few times here and there but it’s mostly a loss. Especially late in the year. Especially once the weather turns to crap. 
     

    I am perfectly fine paying the fees and PSLs and going to games. But I’m local and I attend almost every single game. I’ve maybe missed 5-10 games since 2006. It’s worth it for me. For you, I completely understand why you have seasons now, but also understand why you wouldn’t in a new stadium. You will lose money for sure. All for the benefit of going to 2-4 games a year. It would be cheaper for you to save your money and buy whatever games you want to attend separately on secondary sites each  year. 

    Thats exactly right, and sadly what I'll have to do once the PSLs cone due. It jist won't make any financial sense for me anymore. A lot of it is pride in ownership. Being a STH for 20+ yrs is in some ways a feather in the cap, but PSLs is a racket I just can't support..

     

    I'll still be there, but a 1-2 home games and maybe a road game is probably how I'll do it once I'm no longer a STH.

     

    I'm just really eager to see how the Bills thread the needle of PSLs in Western NY.  I think a lot of people will bow out once they see their new invoices.

     

    Take my 4 STs in section 134:

     

    I believe I pay $5500 for the 4 tickets per year.

     

    In the new stadium I'd predict that invoice to be closer to 8-10k, let's just say 8k yo be conservative. Add onto that a 5k per seat PSL , and they'll probably allow you to pay that off over a 5 year window. So you're looking at an 8k invoice + (20k ÷ 5 yrs) 4k = 12k per year for 5 years.

     

    I dont think it's going to go over well, I really dont.

    I’m the opposite thinking of this. First of all, I think it’s false that the place sells out regularly. Maybe now is the key word there because of Allen. But I’ve been to rain games and cold games since then and maybe they are technically “sellouts” there’s plenty of seats that are open because people don’t show up. 
     

    but I’m opposite because I currently pay about $1800 a year for my pair of seats in the end zone. I enjoy my seats but am also interested in seats like clubs where the views are better, it’s always warm, always dry, and always comfortable. Knowing the new stadium will have PSLs and will be more expensive for seats I am perfectly fine with it. Assuming I can stay dry, warm, comfortable. If a covered and heated seat in the upper deck, or mezzanine level (per bills season ticket emailed survey) has all that and is cheaper than current club seats (excluding PSL obviously) then it makes it worth it to me. 
     

    ive already come to the realization that my yearly ticket bill will likely double. I’m ok with it but I’m not going to freeze my butt off or be a soaked mess in 45 degree windy days for those prices. Especially when I have one of the best TVs ever made and a really comfortable couch at home. 

    You're 100% spot on. The OP has clearly never tried selling tickets to a Bills home game after Nov. Amazing seats regularly end up selling for less than $60 on resale sites. The demand, with a great team, for late season home games is extremely soft.

     

      I know because I'm a STH who lives 7 hours away in South Jersey. I usually make it up for 2-3 games and sell the rest. I get annihilated on those late season games. I even lost money on the playoff game vs the Pats.  Contrary to popular belief, most human beings despise sitting in 0-20 degree, windy games for 4 hours.

     

    Add on the Bills trying to get 2-5k in PSLs per seat, and they're going to have a disaster on their hands.  I'll be the first to throw in towel on my 4 STs I've had since 2002, once the Bills come knocking for their 15-20k. I'm not plunking down that type of cash just to have the rights to continue paying my $5500 invoice each season. At some point you have to draw the line.

     

    I'll still attend a couple games, but like most I'll be shopping on StubHub and picking my spots. I've lost enough $ doing it the other way around

  9. Leave the queue. 

     

    I was waiting all day.

     

    Finally when I got in 30 Mins ago it said all tickets are sold out.

     

    I planned a trip up to Rochester with my family, coming up from south Jersey, centered around attending the Aug. 1st & 2nd morning practices.  

     

    Been a STH for 21 years. Have never been to training camp.  WTH!?

  10. The Bills on the business side of things have been and continue to operate like a minor league team.

     

    The card I get each year with my Bills bucks, never works on their website. They rarely send me emails that they advertise they're sending to season ticket holders. Their GameDay operations are well below avg compared to other venues. There's a ton of room for inprovement.

  11. I'm a season ticket holder and can't for the life of me find where to secure tickets. I've been on the Bills App, the website and checked my email. Nothing.

     

    I need 5 tickets on August 1st and August 2nd. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. GRACIAS!
