5 Wide Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Not being a season ticket holder, I usually go to about 4 games a year just buying individual game tickets. When the seats went on sale, my buddy (who I have gone to the last 11 openers with) said, "I got the opener tickets, a sales rep who I buy from promised me some opener tickets". Yesterday I get a text "bad news, no tix for Sunday". Stub Hub pretty much has garbage seats at inflated prices which leaves me in the precarious position of trying to pick up some tickets from some local wandering businessmen. I know the opener is in high demand, so I wonder what my chances look like at not paying crazy prices Sunday.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just walk down abbott by the stadium right before the game starts. I guaranty you will get a ticket for under $100.

Several years ago I got tickets at noon for a 1:00pm start. Green Bay was the opponent--80 degrees---49 yd line---19 rows up----$60 a ticket. Found out at the end of the game that Coach Sherman's father and brother sat directly behind us. The tickets must have been sold to the "wandering businessman" from the Green Bay allotment.

Albany,n.y. Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Here's an indication of the market on Ticket Exchange. Petrino sold his 2 seats next to me in the 1st row of the tunnel endzone near the corner for $115 each. I was surprised he got that much, but after the blowout in KC, the fans are pumped.

That is good advice for saving $, but with the new additional pat downs going into effect, I would think you'd have to be willing to miss the beginning of the game.

You have a point. It's judging the right time when you think the scalper is starting to panic a little bit & you getting in for the start of the game.

He probably thought he'd all the time in the world to buy tickets. Even in bad times the Bills always sell out the opener. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
