    Mine only jumped about 5% for the game tickets in 2026, so it must not be a directly proportional increase and is more dependent on section... Interesting

    yep,  i also paid the $8K per, and while I was also told by a good friend in the Bills ticket office our seats were woefully underpriced for the NFL for years, I was shocked at the increase as well

    What is your favorite totally random Bills game?

    Nope.

    @Ned FlandersSurprised  surprised me too. Prolly sold out, but not in the 72 hour window to lift the blackout. 

     

    I believe the comeback game had same situation, but I may be wrong that it did sell out...

     

    i am certain was not televised which shows how technology stunk back then cause 400K people attended the game and did not leave, and somehow they did not know in time

    For some reason I have really fond memories of a preseason game the year we drafted Kyle Williams; no idea who they were even playing.

    I just remember some fat little white boy we grabbed in the 5th rnd who I'd never even heard of going out there and just completely dismantling the entire interior of an opposing OL. There was no scheming, game-planning, doubling etc. just testing guys head to head to see who belonged and who didn't. And it didn't matter who lined up across from him, he just kept making people look stupid over and over and over again to the point where I was laughing out loud on almost every defensive series.

    I remember saying something about it here on TSW and suggesting it was probably just a case of a solid player going up against a bunch of dudes who were going to be selling insurance next month. Little did we know at the time that Meatball was an Athlete!!!

    I remember it exactly as you, and I remember the thread. Crazy a preseason game stays so fresh in your mind.

    1987 week 2 at home against Houston.  Last game before the strike. 21 4th quarter points with a short pass from Kelly to Harmon very late in the game to win it. Fun, rowdy crowd.  That was the first time I thought to myself that we may have something good here.

    Funny, I was at this game and don't remember it....

     

    But one of the most fun games I have ever attended was the Bills-Giants game that year...last game using the scabs ....4PM national game. For those that don't recall, if you had seasons back then the Bills and the entire NFL offered a refund if you did not want to attend the scab games. Hell, I am 25, first year of seasons...me and boys going, I don't need no stinking refund.

     

    So me and 8K of my closest friends go...left Weichecs at 3:30 and was still in my seat for kickoff. Sat all over the stadium that..LT was playing every snap...Todd Schoply , OP native, kicks game winner in OT to win 6-3. Just an awesome time and a unique Bills experience .

     

     

    Last one is the Bills-Rams conga line game that also ended in OT in 1980. Bills playing to keep playoffs alive.Win in OT, Bills join the Jills in Conga line celebration after the game. Awesome day at the stadium.

     

    Starts  around 16 minutes here

    Throwback: ‘81 Divisional Playoff Bills @ Bengals

    The penalty was delay of game. The Bills had a great, veteran team in '81.

    Chuck Knox was furious and blamed that loss on Joe Ferguson. I can’t remember what book I read it in but supposedly Knox was watching the game film from the endzone behind Ferguson and the 30 second clock was right in front of Ferguson….and Knox mumbles that you’d think the guy we pay all that money to (Ferguson) could read a clock.

    Knox just really got pissed Ralph was cheap.

     

    Fourth down and like 6 to go from say Bengals 35 or so. Bills call a TO to discuss the call. The play runs and Lou catches a pass good for the first. Flag, delay of game, incomplete into the endzone next play, season over.

     

    You have to remember that this was in 81, and graphics on the screen were almost non-existent.So, there was no play clock winding down and all of us screaming at the TV, "Snap it." So never entered your head watching the game it could be delay of game cause they just called a TO!!!!

     

    In today's NFL, the play would have been blown dead immediately, but I am guessing back then they let the play go and gave the option to the D whether to accept or not based on the outcome of the play.

     

     

    And all after a TO

    McD will be the scapegoat to hide the real issue this week

    I’m sorry but nothing is going to memory hole that time out and Josh’s reaction to that timeout, certainly not this quickly.

     

    Josh Allen, cyborg unicorn, knew immediately that McD ripped that win from him the moment he called that TO. 
     

    And then they had a little impromptu sideline chat. This board isn’t imagining things. McD can’t match Allen’s brilliance. 

    I am shocked that more posters are not acknowledging this point. It's not the loss; it's his inability to give his team the best chance to win situationally that is so concerning.

     

    Losing this game is not that big a deal, but losing your player's confidence as a head coach could be.

     

    and he has proven time and again, he is a mental midget in crunch time in a close game, and when pressure is high.

     

    Playoff game are rarely blowouts

    Maybe one reason the parents are so reactive about it, is that they failed to take all care they reasonably could?  Like the dad and son were considerably ahead of the daughter or something?

    Could be. My gut it was not a deliberate attempt to defraud people, but the mom posted what she posted to get clicks, Glaser reposted, AB ran with it, and they had no idea how to stop the train. 
     

    Saying if they came out now and said that, it would be the real poop show and this way it just goes away. To bad it sullies an entire fan base which sucks , as I am in that stadium pretty damn well close to every game and I don’t see this kind of behavior.

    This sounds like a believeable account, except that why would a father let a belligerent drunk push past him and have access to his medically fragile daughter?  Would you be like "hold up fella!" and get between him and your daughter?  And if you're going down stairs and your daughter is behind you and your son, wouldn't you be in a position to catch her and break her fall?  Maybe I don't "get" the geometry of the situation?

    I think you do, and why so many people thing this whole thing makes zero sense.

    I disagree with it being a money grab.  The GoFundMe has been there for more than a year, and the girl/family are evidently known to a respected reporter and founder of a legit nonprofit Hope Rises.  I think the family legit had a bad time after trying to give their 49ers fan daughter a "bucket list" experience, and are upset about that.

     

    We have no way of knowing how slight a bump it was.  It could have been a bump that was deliberate and harder than it needed to be because the guy is a jerk.

     

    But, at a crowded event where the stairs are "fall on your ass" slick without any bumps needed, that doesn't amount to assault charges either.

    And here in lies the problem. Because Glaser reposted the story with nary any confirmation, and doubled down on it with not one single person corroborating  the next day.  My guess is her  friends in the news media not trying  to confirm with Bills security or ask anyone to come forward with information  is in an effort not to embarrass her. And make no mistake, that woman does nothing without the whole world aware of what she has done.  Does not happen if it’s not on socials or the TV. 
     

    And the go fund me has gone from like $4k to $25k. What is the family gunna do now? Say “ ya know what, we prolly exaggerated the story, but thanks for all you folks giving us $21k anyway.

    So because they chose to not file a police report, they’re making up the story?  Maybe they didn’t feel the need to take it that far with the perpetrator, just wanted to get out of there and get home at that point.  I’ve had things happen in my life where I chose to not file a report, for one reason or another.  The father sounds surprised this story has even hit the news.  
     

    My impression is they were posting on Facebook about their family’s experience at the game (many people post their experiences on Facebook), and the fact they noted their bad experience including their daughter getting push over has given the story legs.  Now some are thinking this family has ulterior motives, which I don’t believe is the case when I listen to their interviews.

    In the Moms first post, she described how she was leaving early after having spoken to police. ( I assume she meant Bills security) if any of these new organizations had a shred of integrity, they would reach to the Bills and their security head for comment. 
     

    Shocking they have not, as it involves a a sacred “ good person” ( re attention go) In Kate Glaser. 
     

    Really is a simple thing to do.

    Even locally.  Like WIVB on facebook.  The headline still reads that the girl was pushed down the section/stairs, you have to read the article about mostly her back-story, then you get to a quick blurb where the father kind of vaguely explained the shoddy story of what transpired (which objectively seems like no big deal)... then the rollout of their gofundme "family fund"

     

    All confirmation bias is rampant.  "All Bills fans are scumbags".  "Nothing but blackout drunks there haven't been to a game in 30 years" etc.  Not to mention people are rushing to give these people money.

     

    I really take pride in our fan base and atmosphere.  That is why this hits deep.  

    shocking the go fund me now has $22K in it...prolly 99% of which would not be there except for this story. And attention ho's in Buffalo that just need  the attention of "getting this out". 

     

     

    I mean damn, I feel awful for any kid that has had to battle cancer, but this whole thing just smells like a setup to generate $$$$.

     

     

    I have not seen one single person who witnessed this in person beside the family....and trust me, if this happened someone would be on the internet or on the phone to the TV stations to get their 15 minutes as well.

     

     

    Trust your instincts on this one, its  a made-up story, or at the very least HIGHLY exaggerated accounting of an accidental bump on a snowy as hell day in a stadium to generate clicks and $$$. Someone said dad was a marine...dude hits your 8 year old and you ain't shouting back and making fuss at the least? Most likely swinging?

     

     

    And their first post said they were dealing with the police and leaving early...have any  "journalists" reached out to Bills security to get get a comment?

    Need 2 more to confirm Rally Bus for Bills v. 9ers SNF 12/1

    In case anyone is staying at or near the Aloft Hotel Buffalo Airport for the Bills v. 9ers game on December 1, we need 2 more riders today to confirm the bus from the hotel to the stadium and back. Great way to go to the game to be able to comfortably have a few drinks without driving or worrying about parking. Gets you to the stadium around 4:30pm and picks up after the game ends.

     

    https://rally.co/bills-49ers/from/aloft-buffalo-airport-ny

     

    You can add optional food and drink packages to the ticket as well.

    NFTA is now running regularly scheduled buses to the stadium on game days, and they leave 30 minutes after the games ends. Great way to go for people who usually uber to the games....getting an Uber after a night game is just about impossible.

     

    And this is $10 round trip...it like a sore man part...ya just cant beat it

    Our section too.  It is always friendly ribbing.  People are always super cool with kids, especially when they are wearing opposing teams' gear.  Maybe it is because everything typically goes the Bills' way (I don't recall any nastiness in the past 2 home playoff losses).  

     

    Behavior in that stadium is in a different universe than it was 15-20 years ago.  There is a huge Erie County Sheriff presence, and I am sure technology is helping.  You see a swam of sheriffs before anything even happens.  I saw my a fight last week (Bills fan vs Bills fan), and we remarked it was the first fight we have seen in several years.  We are in the rockpile too.  

    i am with you. Now i am in the lower bowl on the 25, but I have not seen fight inside or outside of the stadium in at least 5 years. Completely different world than drought era games

    Look at the crowd in any other NFL stadium. They are all seated while watching the game. That's what people expect at an NFL game, and what these parents expected when they decided to bring their kid to the game. Not so in Buffalo. The only purpose of the seats/benches at Highmark is to keep people from getting trampled like they used to in the terraces at English football matches.

    tell me you have never been to a game after a major snow event without telling me. in 135, as I am sure in every section..aisle was somewhat clear when we got in, but there was zero down to clear either the seats or rows.

     

    There was no sitting at the game, it was impossible

    NOT my thing either however I figured the easiest way to score a single ticket for the game without paying double face was to attend Friday night’s event.

    That’s prolly smart.
     

    Just took a stroll around Pioneer square. Looked like some decent places to tailgate, and for us about  halfway between hotel and stadium. 
     

    Stadium is just about a mile from us.

    The weather looks to be wet & windy Sunday Morning and during the game.  Simply miserable.

     

    I won't pay big bucks to sit out in that just to get ill for the next week.  I may be retired but I am NOT r-word.

     

    What are the simply walk into a bar and watch the game alternatives that don't require me to buy a damn advance all-inclusive ticket for crappy beer?

     

    I am staying just above Chinatown and below the stadium.

    That’s what we doing. We are staying at the Fairmont, will post here where we going in Sunday.

     

    to each their own, but those big tailgate things are just not my gig.  Nor are the fans gathering things. Going to a cool concert tonight at the Showbox, tomorrow prolly Kraken game.
