Will prices for season tickets go down if we lose a home game?

 

No up for like they say if they move Bills to a smaller stadium with MSLs games become harder to find seats so prices go up.

From what I understand is Both Teams have a very big Fanbase in UK so it does make sense in terms of fan bases 

 

I know that Fish and Chips are very popular in England but did not know the Chips were Buffalo Chips but based on how they tasted last time I was in England (cooked with lard) it makes sense.

My wife gets bumped to First Class sometimes when we travel. Never once has she said “why don’t you take it?” ?

 

The kids would rough it in the back by the toilets if we paid for it!  

 

Did a Mediterranean cruise (Windstar, AWESOME!)  last fall, and another planned for 2021 (same ship), plus a wedding this August. This was supposed to be a modest year for travel. But then.....sometimes things just happen! Travel is the thing I most want to do, and least want to pay for. However, as I get older, experiences are FAR more important than things.

LOL...I tell them "I'm just spending your inheritance money".....Business Class at $2,900 is a bit more palatable....and you do get a sleep pod on an Airbus 380.....and of course they said, "well.....that's not bad Dad".........WTF?

Well, if the doctor gave you 90 days to live..... piss your kids off! Penthouse, BABY! 

 

I don’t think I could do one much longer than the 10 days we did in September. A few days in Barcelona before the start, some more time at the end in Lisbon, I was almost ready to get home. The wife still works, so there are practical limitations as well.

Miami should give up the home game because no one would notice. 

 

I do NOT want the Bills there early in the season for a day game. If you GAVE me tickets, I’d watch from my couch. The heat is BRUTAL just sitting there!

Ok then, you have it bad for NFL game TV time. Not to mention high gas prices and housing. That's the one place where I wouldn't want to live.

 

Game times normally on Sundays are actually good.  I like that I have my whole day ahead of me after a Bills loss or Bills win.  Plus, I can always go surf to cheer myself up if we lose.

 

As for the rest, it's the price of paradise.

 

If money, getting rich and building wealth is your main priority in life, then Hawai'i is a bad place to live.

 

I'm fortunate enough to live comfortably enough and own a house... or at least pay a mortgage for a house I'll eventually own.

 

Best weather on the planet.

We are and yes I suspect a home game too. 

 

The haters should come over and experience a game in the greatest city on earth. A few perspectives might change. 

 

I do get that it sucks for home fans who only get 8 a year when one gets taken away. But the London games are great. Their popularity continues to rise and they are going nowhere. 


I’m in.  Love London and I’m due for my next return there.

My wife travels about 3 weeks/month so she has sky miles galore, and the fiancé works for Omni getting preferred rates. VERY preferred. Working for Hilton about a year ago they got a $650/night room in London for about $75. This could be doable without too much pain. 

Kinda the same thing here with my wife but w/o quite as many air miles.  God bless her, she's got every conceivable credit card to get rewards I never knew existed. 

 

We're (she) a Bonvoy couple and have been really happy.  Six months of her normal work travel got us (her) enough points to book 5 nights in Barcelona and 3 nights in Mallorca last October.  London was a consideration for next years trip so I'd be happy if this happened.

I just learned that if the Bills do play Miami in an international game in 2020, it will be in Mexico City, not London:

"The Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins announced they will host international games this year, the Falcons in London and the Dolphins in Mexico City. The Jacksonville Jaguars are annual hosts of a game in London."

Bills played in London 5 years ago (2015). There are 3 games per year in London meaning 12 teams played in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 including multiple Jags games.  I think it is someone else's turn to play there. If the Bills DO play there and Bills "home" game I hope it is a December game since those games tend to sell poorly and it is to a non-conference team.  We already play in North Cuba once a year.

Actually, there were 4 London games in 2017 and 2019:

oh joy

I wonder how overblown local television news / sports departments will get with coverage this time around?

WIVB:  London’s best fish and chips.

WGRZ:  2 on Your Side investigates waste in London city government.

WKBW:  Pedophiles in the Church of England.

Thanks for correction.  Fifteen out of thirty two teams have played one international game with Denver not playing since 2010, Steelers since 2013, etc.  Someone else's turn.  Maybe they should make requirement for every team which hosts Superbowl to play internationally that year since they are being economically helped by league.  Same for hosting draft.

And Green Bay has never played an international game. This is wrong.

This what happens when you make the play-offs 2 out of 3 years and gain the national media's interest!  Expect more non- 1PM Sunday games.

 

The Bills do play at the 49'ers, Cards, Broncos, and Raiders next year so we will have a few non-1PM Sunday games no matter what the record was in 2019.

If it’s in Tottenham stadium even better. Great stadium and I love North London. I’m in

 

I hope it is at Tottenham. I haven't been yet, tried to get tickets for the Buccs game this season but they sold out in 7 minutes. I won't go to watch Spurs there for obvious reasons. Oh and it is about 2 miles down the road from where I live. I could walk home.

The Bills vs Dolphins matchup could very well be one to watch in coming years. I like their coaching staff a lot and they have stockpiled a lot of FA money and draft picks. This is supposed to be a good draft year for QB as well. Time will tell, but they may well overtake the Jets and make the AFCE a 3 way race in 2020 if they nail those picks. On another note, they must be scratching their heads over Tannehill's sudden emergence as a solid NFL QB.
