papazoid Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 mostly good news.... still think the december games will be hard to sellout. the after market/ nfl ticket exchange demand and prices will be less in december. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 mostly good news.... still think the december games will be hard to sellout. the after market/ nfl ticket exchange demand and prices will be less in december. if we are winning in Sep-Nov then I think the Dec tickets will sell. we have been waiting so long for meaningful late season games that people will want to be a part of that atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martifal Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Damn I'm currently in WNY but usually reside in South Florida, a Dolphins blackout often resulted in a televised Bills game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 It will be interesting to see how this affects home attendance - particularly for home games when the weather is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Damn I'm currently in WNY but usually reside in South Florida, a Dolphins blackout often resulted in a televised Bills game. A blackout didn't result in no game being aired at all? I'm out of touch on this one since I've been out of Buffalo for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direhard Fan Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 My mother missed many a game because she passed when she was 99 and couldn't walk those steps the last 20 years. She loved the Bill's. Better late than never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better late than never. sorry to hear that. my grandpa is 91 and was a season ticket holder for 30 yrs. i hope he gets to see some more winning football from this team in his lifetime. i try and take him to a preseason game every year but i'm sure he wishes he could be there for the regular season. but like you said, i think it's too much when it's a packed stadium. at least now he will get to see every game!
