Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I thought some of the home playoff games in the '90s (specifically the comeback game) weren't sold out. So why are people acting like this is a dumb question? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Greek Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Absolutely, positively, with out a shadow of a doubt it would sell out. prices on the secondary market would be huge, I’d say $200+ for the cheapest ticket. 6 minutes ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: I thought some of the home playoff games in the '90s (specifically the comeback game) weren't sold out.

Bakin Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 The last home playoff game we had. 1996?? Did it sell out? Answer: No. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comeback was not a sellout because out Hall of Fame QB was not playing and it was a rematch against a team that had just smoked us, so not that similar.

RiotAct Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 yeah I think they announced that one of the (potential) two already sold out. Pretty impressive, considering a home playoff game is faaaaaar from guaranteed at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd either have to go to the stadium and stand in line, stay at home and hope you could get through on the phone to the ticket office, or hope you knew a season ticket holder that could get extras. Couldn't just jump on the interwebs and buy them there. Edited December 12, 2019 by Just Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 3 minutes ago, Bakin said: 4 of the last 4... interesting! It’s a totally different scenario. There were 50,000 Bills fans at the last playoff game and it was in Jacksonville. What happened in the 90’s is irrelevant. That’s why i talked about the tape delay for the NBA Finals. It did happen before but will never happen again. There are TONS of reasons that it isn’t worth the conversation. The stadium is smaller, the NFL is way bigger now, the ease of tickets for out-of-towners through the secondary market, a generation of fans that are starved for winning instead of fatigued, etc.... I could keep going with reasons but you get the point. It’s apples and oranges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
