Hebert19 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Or pretty much. I've been to jags games in Jax before and it's a pathetic crowd. Very muculh fairweather fans. Combine that with the fact that a higher percentage of tickets have been purchased in NY than jax (33 to 28) and this will feel almost like a Home game. Get loud mafia!

BillsFan130 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 There will still probably be 80 percent of Jags fans there. Maybe even more. Not saying they are going to be that loud, but either way will most likely still out number Bills fans 4 to 1 or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I personally expect it to be 50/50, or even 60/40 bills fans. If not in pure numbers, it will surely feel that way due to the excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to one of their games a couple of years ago and it was a wasteland. I don't think it will be 50/50 but I bet there are at least 35% Bills fans if not a little more.

You're forgetting the fact that the 32% is since December 31, after the Bills clinched. The Jags had already clinched, so fans had already bought tickets. If someone really wanted to do the math, they could figure out a true percentage, knowing how many tickets were left after December 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOFUS311 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The Jags clinched before us, and they didn't sell out to their own fans. It's embarrasing that after a 10 year drought that all of Jacksonville didn;t snap up every last ticket on the first day. If the Bills clinched a home playoff game there would be ZERO available tickets in under an hour. So by that metric alone, the Jags suck and their fans are snow birds who only eat early bird specials! Go Bills! Let's do some trophy hunting and bag ourselves a big, tame cat.

Totally correct but one Problem is this is their first time in a decade so there will suddenly be a lot of Jax "fans" actually going to this once in a decade event.

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I think people are overestimating. A large percentage of tickets remaining were sold to Bills fans after they clinched. Many, if not most of their tickets were already purchased by Jags fans. Some may have been resold to Bills fans, but I would be surprised if there's more than 15,000-20,000 Bills fans there. Still pretty good, considering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a great share of the “what was left and re-sale” market but they come in with a lead of 10s of thousands. We won’t outnumber them but should still have a formidable presence (and I’m guessing the mafia will be in rare form even by their standards) Edit - dug a little and there were claims of sell out prior to us even getting in so the roughly even split is of a relatively small pool of tickets. This won’t be the stadium at 50-50 or close to that but we will have a big presence still Edited January 6, 2018 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, been living here in Jax for 22 years now. I've NEVER seen the Jags come out in "full force." RIGHT NOW there are still LOADS of greedy Jags "fans" trying to unload their tickets on StubHub, TicketMaster, Vivid Seats, etc. Get real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Just started watching KC vs. TEN on "tape delay" so I can FF commercials; they showed the crowd at Arrowhead before the opening kickoff. A sea of red and everyone going nuts doing the Tomahawk Chop thing.. I got goose bumps thinking about the Bills game tomorrow! I can't wait!
