plenzmd1 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Man, was just on StubHub and Ticketmaster...almost all resale tickets are below face for this game , and some clubs by a ton. And plenty of seats in just about EVERY section still available through the Bills. Boy, those December games should be just a treat for us out of town season ticket holders!!!! Looks like I should be able to keep getting closer to my dream seats next year..gonna be boatloads cancellations i am guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Little surprised they are already below face value. In saying that, they have been an absolute train wreck to watch so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billspro Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I’m guessing people are worried that we will spend the whole game punting again. Less commitment to watch the game at home. If they start playing like an NFL team they will be supported. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbarg12 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I bought tickets to the Jets/Bills game December 9th. It was cheaper to buy plane tickets and game tickets to the Bills than paying for parking and tickets at Cowboys stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Fixit Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I know I expected this team to be bad. Not sure about other people who can’t think, or use their eyes. Imagine we were Vikings fans right now. Expecting a Super Bowl contender and being under .500. Glad my expectations were low. #reality 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We called him out and he kept saying we were bad fans because we accept it. There was so much wrong with that statement being that he also bought a ticket, we have no choice but to accept it, but mostly I just asked him if he’s such a fan and student of the game how did he not expect that we would take a step down this year? He didnt really have an answer just kept belly moaning and whining about things because drunk grown men having temper tantrums about things they can’t change are fun.

zonabb Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Think this is my last season. I can't make this game and can't sell the tickets. I don't go to the preseason games and get robbed of $300+ to "buy" tickets to see guys who will be cut. I can't make the Thanksgiving weekend and I probably won't be able to give those away. That's four games x $160 per game or $640 I know I am going to eat before the December doldrums. Love going but sick of burning money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some of the best seats I’ve ever had (4 seats from the field, 50 yard line) $30 for 2 because I showed up at the game and the guy couldnt find anyone to buy them. I asked him as we we were walking in. He tried playing hardball and I was like it’s either $30 or nothing. Supply and demand. You’d better believe the people that sold you those tickets early are happy. They’re not giving you money off because the prices dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 It's been trending this way for the last few years. I can't make it to this weekend's game and I can't give the tickets away. When I got back on the season ticket wagon a couple years ago I figured I would make it to 5-6 games a year and sell some games to recoup some money(not even worried about making a profit but it would be nice to get something for them) but with finances being a little tough these days I am already thinking this might be my last year. I can't afford to constantly eat a full loss when i can't make it to a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 This is exactly why I will be joining the tailgate, yet watching the game from my friends in OP. Enjoy all the spoils of food/drink/togetherness, but can watch from the comfort of a couch at my leisure. No reason to see the game in person IMO (I had seasons for years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 So glad I didn’t renew for this season.
