MattM Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I haven't gotten my usual renewal package form OBD yet this year--anyone else, or did I just miss something? Perhaps they were waiting to set prices based on the Toronto deal news being reported elsewhere this morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Probably no individual ticket price increase but now we pay for 10 games. What has it generally been for, 8 games? So roughly a 25% increase more than likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well let's take my Rockpile seats as an example. $25 x 9 games = $225 per seat. 10 games makes it $250. I have 8 seats so another game increases my cost $200. Now if they increase the price to $30 per game that's another $400. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My main reaction after processing this, is fear. How can an NFL team in Buffalo be sustainable long term with ticket prices on that scale? Mainly the insane TV contract money they get and Mr. Wilson carrying no debt. But I suspect new ownership that is carrying significant debt would not be able to keep prices that low.

stuckinny Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I would htink the rock pile will be going up in price now that there will be another scoreboard at the other end.

DieHardFan Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Just so it's clear: Season Ticket "renewal in December" meant give us $25 per ticket and we will either take your ticket to the Miami game and give you one of the clubs we can't sell or a $1.50 tshirt. Can't tell you if there will be a ticket price increase (or other changes) and BTW the $25 is non-refundable. But you will get all the koolaid you can drink.

jimmy10 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I can't view the seat maps showing seat availability on the account manager online. Can anyone else?

BillnutinHouston Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Not sure how they'd know which seats are available until the payments come back. Unless you mean those not already purchased by STH's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Maybe. All I know is as recently as a month or so ago, I was able to log into the account manager and look at the big seat map of individual season ticket availability. Now I can't. Just wondering if others are finding the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffalo Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) I got my invoice today, the seats are now 1,804 for the pair, (up1300 I think). Extra game plus higher price, youch! Edited March 7, 2014 by Guffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The renewal e-mail came out this morning. (my mail is later, being forwarded) Plan to renew for our group, extra game and price increase can be dealt with. The one hope to keep the Bills in Buffalo is for prices to go up to allow a new owner to sustain the franchaise here. By increasing them some now, that is a step in that direction. a painful one, but, directional the way it has to go. And, for the younger crew posting on here, "the rockpile" is the name for old War Memorial Stadium where the Bills played from 1960 to 1972....it was 73 they went to the Ralph, I think. (actually became the Ralph later, but can't remember the original name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eme123 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I didn't know that. Nice. I usually pay for Game Rewind anyway. Yes, Game rewind would be a nice perk of being a season ticket holder. Is that new this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR The reason the Rock Pile seats were so cheap to begin with is because you did not have a view to the jumbotron. Now that they are installing two huge video screens at the other end of the stadium, your tickets should be priced accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabillsfans Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yes it looks like a new perk. Check out the Season Ticket Member Guide. It was an attachment on the email from my ticket rep. I can't find that information on the Bills website and don't know how to add it to this post. I had gotten an email near the end of the season last year saying the same thing. http://www.nfl.com/themembershipclub also explains some additional perks.

So with the 4 Month and 6 month payment plans, you are not paid in full till either July or September. Do they allow you to purchase individual game tickets when they go on sale when you still have a balance due? I've always been told you must be paid in full.

I was able to purchase individual game tickets during the STH period last year while on a plan. You just need to be current with your payments. You can not sell tickets on the NFL Exchange until you have paid enough to cover them. They are released from earliest date first and you must request it from your rep. However they do mail you your hard tickets on schedule even if you have a balance due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
