Maybe stop watching the team for a few weeks. That might help. Maybe try not posting for a while too, while you're at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I haven't always made the smartest decisions, but dumping my season tickets this past summer just prior to this season was a beauty. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 getting close to being profitable to buying 10 tickets and leaving and drinking a beer in your Winnebago and going back in with a fresh ticket 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regret it completely. It's brutal. I had mine for 12 years and often had to list them on all the secondary sites and craigslist for well under face. I wouldn't list for single digits, i'd just give them away. A couple times I did donate my tix to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo. They are appreciative and sent me a nice thank you letter. This season the Redskins have somehow taken control of their secondary tickets and they either get sold at a reasonable price or the seat goes empty. They first had to admit that there is no season ticket waiting list. But they did not want to see anymore $5 tickets on Seatgeek or Stubhub or wherever.

Yeah tickets that cheap are a bad look for any franchise. This is year 16 for me, and yesterday was the first home game I sat out since November of 2004, almost 14 years to the day. That’s 103 home games in a row. The saddest part is, I was so happy to be on my couch yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it, the real value of the tickets for the 4 remaining home games is zero. One may get lucky that a Jet fan @UB will buy a ticket for $20 in the upper deck..but that is a long shot. Jaga maybe have some juice as its Marrone game, and as much as I hate to say it..i want the Jags to still be in contention and somehow we hurt their chances. Maybe there is enough people like me out there that the ticket will be worth $30 on a $90 face ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 You just have to look at Bills tickets as a sunk cost...........I hear people say things like "well I need the money for Xmas" whatever excuse........but if you went AS PLANNED you would have spent the money anyway..........if anything you SAVED money just not going...........so trying to squeeze $10 back out of the ticket makes little real sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 $7.00 tickets . . . that is the kind of thing that could get the Pegulas' attention. It is going to be very interesting to see how full the stadium is in December and what the season ticket renewals are in the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the first year ever that they didn’t announce season tix numbers. I’m assuming it will slide next year as well. My group is definitely out, so that’s minus 6 right there.

Many many people will renew again next season. A badge of honor for helping to keep the team in Buffalo, as well as quite a few don't go to see the team win or even play well, they go for the event.

US Egg Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) A bunch of younger neighbors by me regularly go to the Bills games. Living close to the stadium, their friends park at their homes, the street is full of cars. Many hang out after afterwards win or lose. Not yesterday. Most left quickly, looking somber, almost looking like they just come from a wake or funeral. Watching the most rapid, horrific demise in over 30 yrs. is near painful for some fans. Same with McDermott's pressers. Actually, that's much worse. Edited November 5, 2018 by I am the egg man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Just sold my 4 Miami upper bowl aisle seats right in front of the 50 yard line with excellent view for $10 each minus 10% fee so $9. As a Canadian, donating my tickets will get me zero since the US tax receipt will be useless. I renew every year but eventually I will need to make decisions using my head rather than using my heart. I'm done with McDermott and Beane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for some people the fun of the event goes away in December in a Buffalo outdoor stadium Season ticket holders still paid for their tickets for those games though.
