However, under an NFL policy put into effect this year, the Bills must make postseason game tickets not held by season ticket holders available beginning Thursday.

TDTT Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Is there any negative effect to buying tickets now? If there don't wind up being any home games, will the tickets be refunded in a somewhat timely manner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it makes sense to pre-sell playoff tickets to non-STH'ers considering you potentially only have week notice of having a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad karma..... Every team in the history of sports has sold playoff tickets prior to knowing what it will look like. As someone that ran a ticketing department for 6 seasons there is a lot of time required to turn it around. There is zero to be concerned about. We are talking about a month; that is nothing!! This isn’t new (at all) in any sport. We just aren’t used to it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) There would need to be a collapse of epic proportions for them to miss at this point. Even if they finish with 9 wins they still have a decent chance at getting in. Edited December 4, 2019 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junior Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) STHs at the beginning of the season commit to reserving tickets and say they'll pay for the ticket if the team has a home playoff game. Pretty straightforward and doesn't seem strange to me. They want to have a good handle on how many tickets will actually be up for grabs.

jimmy10 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I thought NFL postseason tickets had to be purchased at Ticketmaster and Ticketcharge outlets, you know, places like Tape World, Recordtown.

wagon127 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Its weird how it was kept so quiet. The bills never announced anything on their website. Local news outlets started talking about that tickets were going on sale, but never said where to buy them or what time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgrappler Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I just bought 6 tickets on Ticketmaster. It came to just under $1000. About $130 in fees. From what I could find in the fine print it said you get both the face value and your fee money back. I hope I’m reading this correctly. Does anyone know for sure regarding the fees???

I'm in for 2 seats on the 50 yard line, for what I'm guessing will be the championship game against the #2 seed Ravens.?

Does anyone know for sure regarding the fees??? Thank you for any help you can provide. Based on previous experience you should get back the exact same amount that you paid. If you paid $987.65 including all fees, your credit card should be credited back $987.65. That's what happened to me with previous cancelled shows (Performers sick) and non played playoffs games (NHL, MLB & NFL). They even refunded me the postage fees but that was in the good old days with hard copies and it doesn't apply now.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 What week of the playoffs is the ticket for? If the bills are the 5 seed the only possible home playoff game is the AFC championship game. Is there only 1 dateless ticket being sold? Or is there a playoff ticket for the wildcard round? Where we would have to win the division but still somehow fall behind and end up the 3 or 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add, if we are the #1 or #2 seed - we are GUARANTEED a home playoff game week 2 (the Divisional Round), with a CHANCE of a home playoff game week 3 (Championship Round) depending on how things go week 2. But, let’s just focus on the Ravens and then the Steelers for the time being 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
