ddaryl Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Quote Vivid Seats, an online ticket outlet, reported that 20 percent of the tickets it sold for Sunday went to customers with New York state ZIP codes. SO if 20% were just a total from vivd seats and there are plenty of Bills fans that went direct or had other connections via stub hub etc... .. and many Bills fans wil be coming from non NY zip codes.. It looks like its going to be at least 30% Bills fans there Edited January 5, 2018 by ddaryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think that would include tickets that went to the season ticket holders. 30% would be nice but likely that that high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim GrahamVerified account @ByTimGraham FollowingFollowing @ByTimGraham More Tim Graham Retweeted Buffalo Bills While this is a sick burn, the Bills haven’t hosted a playoff game since December 1996 and couldn’t sell out some playoff games during their Super Bowl years.

ddaryl Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Here is a fun jax thread to puruse https://www.duvalpride.com/showthread.php?tid=26343 I have pictures of the Monday Night Game in Seattle last year. there were Bills fans everywhere... The Pyramid Brewery across the street was 95% Bills fans Its going to be interesting to see for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like its going to be at least 30% Bills fans there That doesn't mean 20% of the stadium. Let's say the total inventory being sold by these sites is 40% of the stadium (high estimate imo) and 20% of those went to Bills fans, we're talking 8% of a 69,000 seat stadium. Now if Bills fans are coming in droves and hit 50% or more of those aftermarket tickets (which it sounds like they may be) we're at 20% or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't lead attendance since the early 90's I believe. With the new stadiums we will never lead in attendance again. My guess is there will be 10K in Bills fans there Sunday. It will be noticeable but in no way this will be like a home game for the bills or a pro Bills crowd. Remember this is Jacksonville's first home playoff game in 17 years too. They are probably pretty excited down there & rightfully so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like its going to be at least 30% Bills fans there That logic does not follow. Your logic suggests Vivid Seats has and uses the total number of seats sold in its calculations, but then you shift to suggest that Vivid Seat's 20% for the number of tickets sold from NY zip codes represents only those sold by Vivid Seats. If Vivid Seats has been selling 20% of its available seats to New Yorkers, there is no reason to suggest a similar ratio wouldn't be experienced by other ticket resellers.

I understood the facts of the matter my appologies for not being more clearer but I still feel 20+ % could easily be Bills fans.. but other zip codes other outlets direct sales Bills allotment added in is what I was trying to say as a whole Edited January 5, 2018 by ddaryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc11 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Tim Graham also fails to point out the capacity of Rich stadium. I believe it was low 80,000, which is around 15-20,000 more than the stafiums today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And seeing it is ONLY Friday night, I expect the droves to come down by tomorrow late afternoon. 25% + will be Bills fans. BTW cold as heck here ... perfect Bills temps!
