vanhalen26 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I’m excited about the future and will renew. Would be cheaper to just buy by the game, but I like my seats and the convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeF Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I will be renewing....I think this is 15 years. Still waiting for that home playoff game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haroldwaide Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 No brainer here. Renewing all six of my seats as soon as I get the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I’m out after 16 seasons. Part of it is personal, hope to be making some employment changes this year. Part of it is not being tied to 10 games worth of tickets, as this past season really felt like a hose job watching seats go for under $20 for 6 out of 8 regular season games. Getting older, don’t have the desire to go to every single game anymore. Will go a-la-carte and maybe treat myself to clubs once in a while, and/or a roadie weekend. Got my hookup for opener tix though, my cuz has day-one eligibility for presale. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilton Bills Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I renew for the Camper Lot pass. It's gold. Worth more than the game seats at a fraction of the cost. Go Bills! See you in August for pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I wonder how many extra seats will renew at least partly thanks to the glow of week 17, vs if we had been blown out that game. I know it’s a much bigger decision than that, but it does give me a different feel going into the offseason. I’m too far away for seasons, but hope to get to the opener and the Nashville game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) My family had been season ticket holders since the inception of the franchise. I continued the season tickets after my Dad died even though I have been living down here in Miami since that time. I continued the season tickets for another 21 years until last year. I decided not to renew for two primary reasons: 1) As an out-of-town season ticket holder, all I wanted to do was break even on the games that I could not attend. For the first time ever, I lost money on the tickets in 2017. I could not even sell the tickets to the 2017 home opener against the Jets even though I lowered the price to the lowest I could on the NFL Ticket Exchange. You also will recall that tickets to the Colts game in December that year were going for $6 on StubHub for example. It was and continues to be a buyer's market. 2) When I was debating whether to renew before this past season, I clicked on the account manager link at BuffaloBills.com and the terms of the season ticket holder agreement popped up for the first time. It provided that, if I renewed, I would have to indemnify the Buffalo Bills and the NFL for anything anyone did who used my seats. I called the Bills about this to complain. In short, it made no sense for me to continue to purchase Bills season tickets if I was going to lose money on the deal . . . and, to add insult to injury, I would have to agree to indemnify the Bills and the NFL for anything that some drunk might do - even though the Bills and the NFL get a piece of the action on the NFL Ticket Exchange and I had no control over who bought the tickets. It was a VERY difficult decision to give up tickets that our family had since the inception of the franchise. I am pretty sentimental to begin with and one of the reasons I kept the tickets all these years was that I felt a civic duty to do my part to show any owner that might come after Ralph that there was support for the Bills. I periodically checked the secondary market this past season to determine whether I made a good financial decision. I paid special attention to section 112 (where we had seats). It is clear that this past year was a buyer's market as well. I suspect that it will continue to be a buyer's market and that it makes sense for me to just buy tickets when I can travel to Buffalo for a game.

BillsPride12 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 As of right now I think I am dropping out. I'm getting older and my crew has dwindled over the years and I'm finally at the point where attending every home game of the season and making all day affairs out of each game is just exhausting and I can't get any money back for the games I don't go to. Then there's the financial aspect because I already do a yearly Bills road game which is a lot of fun. I also plan on doing a Bills man cave in my basement which I'm excited for and I'm sure I will still go to some home games. So yes I do plan on stepping away from being a season ticket holder but it does not reflect how I feel the direction of the team is going. I'm just burned out on being a season ticket holder but I am really looking forward to hosting some fun Bills home parties once I build my Bills room. I would've loved to keep my seasons if I could afford to eat the loss on the games I don't go to(which has turned into half of them) but finances are a little bit tight and I don't want to give up doing the annual road trip game because of how much fun that always is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corta765 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Won't lie I kinda want to buy seasons even though I have a new kid on the way and being in Rochester the commit is harsh drive and time wise 20 hours ago, BillsPride12 said: As of right now I think I am dropping out.

I hear that. Do you drive far for the Bills? Living in Rochester the time commitment/drive where you sometimes hit 2-3 hr traffic to get home is what iced me back to 2-3 games. Plus road tripping to Miami twice has been an incredible experience and my wife and I plan now on one road game a year, that to me is worth the price of seasons instead while doing 2-3 games at home.
