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...

So why are people acting like this is a dumb question? the Houston comeback game was a blackout for TV listened to Van Miller call the game on WBEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a playoff game. I never gave it a thought that I might not go. I did almost leave at halftime, but there was nothing else to do so I stayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 It was getting played out by the third SB year, and nobody outside Buffalo wanted the Bills to show up at the SB and get steamrollered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is they had trouble selling playoff games after the 2nd AFC championship. Grant you the stadium was 80K capacity then. 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...

wagon127 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 The season ticket holders would all go, plus they already sold 10,000 extra. I dont think there are that many tickets left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
