beerme1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Nope. So you think all the tickets on Stub Hub right now are no good? I have some and it said UPS delivery. I don't see why someone cant print them and UPS them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) I bought season tickets in early June, paid in full at the time. Just got my envelope and opened it to find...hard copy tickets for each game, all with the same generic ticket with a Bills' helmet on the front. Not sure whether I'm bummed or relieved not to get the cards. Edited July 23, 2014 by ChevyVanMiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why someone cant print them and UPS them. Oh, well they could if they had a strange desire to give stubhub money for no reason. What I was/am saying is there is no need for stubhub to transfer tickets safely/securely anymore. Now it may still be a convenient way for people to advertise them for sale I suppose if it was worth the stubhub service charge. EDIT: Well unless everyone gets hardcopy tickets like Chevy Edited July 23, 2014 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Right that's what I mean. Stubhub is now out of business when it comes to Bills (and any other team that uses this system) ticket reselling. NFL ticket exchange probably will still work? The NFL gets a big taste of that I'm sure as opposed to stubhub. Why can't you just print out your tickets in your account manager and then ship them?

EDIT: Well unless everyone gets hardcopy tickets like Chevy Quick question...if you use TicketExchange to sell your seats, do you set the price or do the Bills/Ticketmaster set it? I can see using StubHub if on ticket exchange they set the price and yu want to be below market in order to sell tickets. I use both to buy on secondary market, actually like the Ticketmaster better as i can see exact seats, which helps when trying to buy rows one behind each other when we have a big group. Only thing i don't like is the Bills know exactly where i am sitting and what i paid for the tickets. No particular worry with that, just feels big brotherish Edited July 23, 2014 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I never got the email and was going to call them tomorrow if the envelope hadn't come. I'm guessing the cards must have been pre-ordered and all new season ticket sales won't get them until next year. (Just left a message for my rep. I'll let you know what I find out) Edited July 23, 2014 by ChevyVanMiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 If you tone down the attitude and talk to your ST rep they have been know to free up some of the tickets based upon the funds you have already paid. Of course, you haven't answered my question, either. Which has nothing to do with this. The question was whether the Bills told us about this before we paid for our tickets. I am quite sure they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesir Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Also signed up for season in June and received hard copy tickets in the mail today. No card for discount in the Bills Shop either. Will call tomorrow to get details. I also did not receive the email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 On the Bills website there is a link: http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Bills-season-tickets-get-a-makeover-in-2014/884e578e-9a24-4b50-8064-0488e53d8d6f At the bottom it reads, "*Note: Season tickets purchased after this date will receive individually printed tickets instead of the season ticket card." Unfortunately, nowhere in the article does it say what "this date" is. Judging by this thread, "this date" may have been sometime in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffalo Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Quick question...if you use TicketExchange to sell your seats, do you set the price or do the Bills/Ticketmaster set it? I can see using StubHub if on ticket exchange they set the price and yu want to be below market in order to sell tickets. You set the price, but there is a price floor that you cannot go below. I don't know what the floor is, but if I recall it is a bit lower (not much) than face value. You can also go by average or price scaling model where the price decreases incrementally over the listing period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it now -- I've been harmed because I have to suffer the indignity of handing a paper ticket to the gate attendant, while other ST holders mock me and wave their fancy cards in my general direction. It's humiliating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 TO bbb Where did you hear or read that once tickets are printed, they are deleted from the card? It makes perfect sense. Even in prior years, once you transfer or re-print tickets from your Bills account the original paper ticket becomes invalid. Otherwise there would be multiple, valid tickets floating around for the same seats at the same game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
