You can buy multiple tickets and just go to your car and drink This guy might be the most savvy of ALL of us! When beers are $14, but tickets are $5, just go with 2 tickets and save $4 by having Halftime in the Lot! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What crafts did they have? $7 a beer is certainly not outrageous...and man i will spend $9 all day long if they have 60 Minute or something similiar. Price of doing business in my mind! 41 minutes ago, Heitz said: BTW, you guys are doing it all wrong - drink several beers outside, then when you go into the stadium, find your seats and that one guy in your crew will INSIST on more beers. Have him make the beer run and insist "you'll get the next round". All you have to do is make it though half time before it your turn to buy a round and you're golden! ? At last years opener every time I turned around, I was handed another beer. Not sure which one of the homies kept making the beer runs, but someone dropped some coin... ? where you been son? Beer sales been end of 3rd for two years now..but then again your crew not the best and the brightest amongst us, so they prolly bought the "beer stands are closed" excuse....ya cheap bastage!

zow2 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I think the Bills, along with their concession charge higher prices (and quantity) to keep alcohol sales in check. The stadium has had it's problems with rowdy intoxicated people. As a comparison, the Ravens lowered their food/drink prices last season and continues this year. Domestic 12oz. $5 Domestic 16oz and Drafts, $7 Premium 16oz and Drafts, $8 Premium spirits, $9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direhard Fan Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Civic Stadium- -.99 six pack of Simon Pure and a buck a ticket. Those were the good old days. Used to sit on the 50 yard line steps and give the guys in that line a beer and they would tell the users not to bother the kids. Great seats. Yankee's game it is ten dollars for a beer. 12OZ. Going price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the list. It was extra hot last year but cooler yesterday so allowing it then was likely a shallow PR move so they don't look bad for allowing people to get heat stroke for the sake of concession profits.

Last year I believe it was $9.50 for a can of Blue but it might not of been 24 oz. Can you get Labatts Blue at the stadium? I was grossed out to see CFL fans drinking Bud Light at their games. Come on, you hosers have some great beer up there. I suppose it is due to the mega-conglomerate beer companies dictating what beers are sold in stadiums.

Well I was referring to something thrown into the end zone a couple seasons back. so, little known fact..yes they started selling cans about 4 years ago..and they sell till end of 3rd now too. And ya know what? Makes getting a beer much easier and faster! And ya know what? Drunkenness and fighting as been reduced greatly! Counter intuitive i know, but no more unintentionally spilling beer on the guy's in front of you girlfriend..causing a fight. No more throwing a beer at someone, nothing comes out of a can! And no more getting pissed waiting in a line to get drafts and missing several plays. And no more having 4 beers stashed under your seat by end of 1st half just in case ya want them...cause if I paid for em, i drinking em! Sounds weird, but making booze easier to get has reduced booze related issues! And there is a God in this world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, you could smoke, IN YOUR SEAT IN THE STADIUM!? I definitely remember walking in with a gallon jug of margaritas (not sure why) and vaguely remember toppling over when we scored a TD. And North side? Hooter Hill? I've heard of it. One time, I was just standing there minding my own business, when suddenly the fence next to me rattled and a guy dropped down seemingly out of the sky. Turned out to be a friend of a friend who saw us, ran up, scaled the fence and was in the game. ? Different times, different time. I think beers in the stadium were actually free back then...

He was so angry The reality is none of those parties get the ROI that a restaurant does on a beer (for example). It’s almost like taking a high interest loan. By the time you factor in the expenses + cost of goods and then divide the rest 4 ways (or whatever it is in the Bills case) it isn’t a lot. Now if you own your stadium (Jerry Jones) or one the concession business (Jeremy Jacobs) I suppose that you could take less. They don’t have to but can.
