They usually release preseason game schedule after regular season schedule. Teams do some of the arrangements themselves and want to see what they get before scheduling preseason games.

As long as it is not April for I will likely be out of town. In May/June I may need to work that day but I may be able to swap with someone.

Cåbleladies???
Cåblelady is singular event like birth of universe. The expression does not have a plural!
P.S. While you are standing up, probably on seats due to tall people in row ahead of you, the guys behind you will be getting butts-eye view but from a much closer view!

There is a reason why they call it scalping which was considered one of the worst non-sexual war acts in the 19th century. Those who do it, especially those who claim to support the sport (like a head coach) or a team (like a team's fans), are morally corrupt.
I know a season ticket holder from Buffalo who buys 100 of the 'hot' games when they become available to season ticket holders and sells them to a scalper who is selling them to opposing fans. The season ticket holder KNOWS who the scalper is selling the tickets but justifies it as a way to pay for his season tickets. I was talking to him about going to a game and he told he had tickets and his connection was able to get him tickets for other games 'at cost' as compensation for participating in this business. He said if I bought season tickets he could arrange that the scalper would pay for my tickets - great way to pay for season tickets he said. I told him that I wasn't interested in going to a game with him and he was the type of person who filled the Bills home games with opposing fans. He said it was 'only 100' tickets and failed to understand how he was contributing to this.

Frank did not leave for more money. He was selected by Carolina in the expansion draft by Carolina. Please do not put Frank Reich in same category as some of the current money-grabbing atheletes. Beebe, Reich and Metzelaars all stated they would rather remain in Buffalo even if they got more money.

Happy Birthday Rich. I hope you and Lisa have a good time

Thank you Gina. Usual top job. Right now there is no player I want to see on my desktop.

How many tickets did they send to Pittsburgh? Had to be 20,000 Steeler fans at the game. In 204 I was really outnumbered. Felt like a Sabre fan at a Leafs game. The Bills shouldn't sell that many tickets to the opponent, keep the "home field" addvantage intact. God, I would have loved to hit the Steeler fan behind me too. Cocky SOB.....
A great deal of those tickets were bought by Bills season ticket holders who resold them to Pittsburgh ticket scalpers (many justify it as way of paying for their season tickets) as well as large numbers bought during group sales.
There is a long, long waiting list to get season tickets in Pittsburgh and this game was one of the closest for a Pittsburgh fan to go to.

Hey, when did you come out of your phone booth??
Mid-December. My cape got stuck in it.
Where did you disappear to??California - the left coast
Glad to see you backNot precisely back. Got a mail message saying I had a PM. Will be disappearing soon again.
-
Not true that there are zero tickets. Bills still may have tickets if any are returned by Pittsburgh; I believe 500 are reserved for visitors. They will typically release them on Wednesday.

Thanks. I did it, but I'm not sure I can see a difference yet. FF is so damn fast already.
What's your favorite add-on?
Mine are the Google toolbar (not that little box, but the toolbar- it was the only thing that was keeping me on IE) and banner blind, which blocks about 75% of all banner ads. Not sure I'm up for gestures, which allows you to make all sorts of shortcuts with your mouse and associate the shortcut with a command.
Kill Flash toolbar. So many sites now use flash for ads that I normally keep a browser without flash. Now I get an icon allowing me to trurn of flash or not.
P.S. Thanks SDS for posting original thread,

Congratulations Scott and Deborah.

You're a picky bastard.
Yep I am picky but not a bastard for I know my father although I do not associate with him.
I am even picky in choice in friends which is why you should feel fortunate.

Maybe those who did not take them:
1. did not know they were for the people who bought tickets as part of the group,
2. was going to car directly and could not bring them in
3. thought they would be available afterwards
4. thought they were cheap
5. Noticed they had red end zones even though field has changed
-
I had some but I screwed up when I uploaded them to my laptop. Only one I had left was one of SDS and a promo girl.
P.S. they should be posted on TBD East board otherwise they will be buried.

Happy Birthday Kelly.
Nice to meet you and your family.
P.S. You got a strong grip

No need for Ticket girls at all IMO. They seemed to think their job was to wander around parking lot away from lot and flirt with guys. Most of the people there know about the raffle and all we need is a bullhorn to announce it.
I liked the wall but once people started signing people who were not there it immediately became a non-entity.
Please continue bringing gaterade and water (I generally do not drink before noon) but maybe we could get it is a large container and just fill glasses? Likewise we need to get more recycling bins. Remaining gatorade / water should be used for other game tailgates during year but I am not usually there.
I agree about loudspeaker. I was in tent (needed shade) and could not hear them.
Need to get group shots earlier.
Thanks to Diane (aussiew) for name badges.

Good tailgate, good weather and even a good game; not as good as the blowout of NE last year but still a good game.
I also had a chance to see Eric Dickerson; he was waiting shortly ahead of me in security lines going to planes. I recognized him and confirmed it was him when I saw his Atlanta Falcons bag.
Thank you to those who organized it especially Cindy, Jay and Jack, thank you to those who contributed prizes for the raffles (I did not have anything to contribute but I spent a lot on tickets and didn't win anything), and those who brought food especially Pat, Steve, Central NJ crew and Sid.
My madien flight on Indenpedence Air did not go very well on trip back; fog in Buffalo and Dulles delayed return but I got back in one piece.
I have more to say but I will leave it for another post.
