FluffHead Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Everytime I log onto facebook there is an ad for 15 dollars off tix to the Carolina game. Everytime I get on twitter the bills account is sending links to discounted tickets. Sure seems like tickets did not move well for this game. A week 2 tv blackout would certainly be embarrassing for the organization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I looked on ticketmaster and there are scattered singles in the 100's and quite a few left in the 300's. Hopefully it gets down to the point where the TV station will buy them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Wide Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Bought mine with the $15 discount..... I had quite a few different options to choose from too...... which is not a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 But but but this is the week when they celebrate not putting anybody new on the Wall of Fame. How can this not be a sellout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 They are discounting the hell out of this game, that's for sure. Clearly they have to move alot of "inventory" to get this game sold out. I can't make it up to B-Lo for this game so i had to sell really good sidelines seats for face value. Not alot of demand for Carolina. BTW- the stadium looked absolutely radiant yesterday with the Sun and sold out crowd. Fantastic sight to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 if the game sells out after the blackout deadline is it still embarrassing? If 70,000 people show up is it still embarrassing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 This is ridiculous. The game should be blacked out if it does not sell out. Lots of the members of this board travel 3+ hours each way to and from Bills games, and have season tickets that cannot be unloaded because local Bills fans are too lazy to go to the game. It's not a December game, it's a game against Cam Newton, with the Bills bringing a rookie QB who looks promising for the Bills and a rookie WR who looks good. The run D was also much improved. Get to the game or stop complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waaaaaaay past 75 miles away from the Ralph there. If it gets blacked out, enjoy the day and watch it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarBills Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) By my rough count from the Ticketmaster site, I'd say there are around 3,000 seats unsold on the map. If it really is just 3,000, I think either OBD or a sponsor buys the rest. Edited September 9, 2013 by DollarBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ticketmaster shows the unsold seats for the game on a stadium map. By my rough count, I'd say there are around 3,000 seats unsold on the map. If it really is just 3,000, I think either OBD or a sponsor buys the rest. I think it is considered a sell out if there are 2000 tickets remaining. Maybe someone can confirm that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can buy seasons and travel a full day by plane to go, it's hard for me to feel sorry for people who have this team in their backyard but look for others to bail them out so they can watch on TV.

GOBILLS78 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I understand attendance has been dropping league-wide for years now, but being blacked out in Week 2 would be a little embarrassing. That being said, I haven't done my part. Although I live 10 hours away, I know some season ticket owners live much farther away, and I haven't been to a game since '06.

Big Turk Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I was more shocked that only 65,000 made it out on opening day...that was kind of embarrassing Agree.
