The Firebaugh Kid Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 The ticket office is telling me I can't get 4 seats together in my preferred section. Is this an attempt to upsell? Never purchased season tickets before.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Perhaps they’re holding off due to potential capacity issues. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanmiamioh Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 If you’re looking lower bowl you’ll probably be pretty limited. It took me probably 5-6 years of building up seniority to get 4 together in a decent location, then another couple to improve it a bit more.

RiotAct Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 sounds about right, I think there was a run on them around the time the playoffs started (as people realized hey, being a season ticket holder does indeed have benefits!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right as who knows what the capacity will be. But even if things are back to normal I would expect the Bills to be sold out for the season. The team is really good with a bright future and it will be two years since the fanbase has been inside that stadium when the season starts. People miss the games and tailgating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(just stating a fact). I hope so. I miss going to the games. Of course safety for everyone comes first. I am not worried about it for myself but I don't want to see anyone else get sick either. Curious to see what attendance will be like for baseball over the summer. If fans can attend baseball games then that is a good sign for football attendance returning to normal.

Sweats Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Years ago, i contacted OBD about their gold seating packages (they were alot of money, but I had the cash at the time....still do, but that's a story for another time my friends). Anyways, after sending countless emails and phone calls to them and getting nowhere, I waved the white flag and abandoned that idea faster than an Italian ship captain. So, I bought a new truck instead.....thanks OBD. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Last time I spoke with my ticket rep(about a month ago) she said that the entire 100 level was sold out for season tickets and there was only limited seating available in the 200s and 300s and even that might get filled to capacity. Really shouldn't come as any surprise after the season we just had and the Josh Allen factor. Bills tickets sold pretty strongly even during the drought years.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 They need to put a tattoo on the back of peoples hands if they have been vaccinated. Then you can walk right into the stadium with no issues. I would do the same on the other hand with STD’s. Also your penis size should be tattooed on your forehead. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Assuming they go to full capacity in the fall, if we largely get past COVID, I would bet that season ticket demand may be the highest that it has ever been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an attempt to upsell? Never purchased season tickets before.... this does not surprise me.....there is a process with existing STH before they get to you. in a normal year, the following would need to occur first: #1- decide on price increase #2- deadline for existing STH to renew would pass (usually early march). #3- then there would be a so called RELOCATION event, where current STH can upgrade their location as cancelled/previously owned seats become available (usually late march). add in tremendous demand now that we have a great team: #4 - bills will cap total STH at say 60,000 seats.....leaving +10,000 for individuals. add in how covid effects their plans....who knows, but it is likely there will be restricted capacity and again wind up offering the chance for STH to OPT OUT (saving seniority). CONCLUSION....after all that, assuming you put down $100 deposit to secure your spot on STH waiting list, you will likely get your 4 seats together.....but highly UNLIKELY in your first choice preferred section.

Agree with this 100%. The Bills take care of long time STHers with relocation offerings before taking care of the new customers. I've benefitted from relocating a few times, and it only makes sense that they reward long suffering customers first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK, but you bring up a good point. It’s become a popular thought the majority of the country may be vaccinated by that time, now guys please no COVID talk as I’m only saying as it pertains to football attendance. It’s hard not to mention, but I’m not engaging a non football conversation so please no replies on anything but football. NJK, you still make a good point no matter the outside conditions, there still might be some restrictions to whatever %. I just hope whoever wants to go at that point can go, and I’ll either be there with you in spirit, or really be there. I love the excitement. Some things are worth the investment. Go Bills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Ticket sales were hitting levels not seen since the early 90's in recent seasons. I think they will be breaking records for the upcoming season. If you want them consider yourself fortunate you can get something though, there are a lot of stadiums with decades long waiting lists.

I have a few friends thinking of getting season tickets. I advised them to jump on it now. Once the dust settles on covid (hopefully) and the 2021 season is coming close, I think we are going to see a cap on season tickets with a substantive waiting list. I dont believe that will let up until a few off years (hopefully that wont be for awhile). The down-side is that it will allow them to increase the pricing of season tickets every year as well as over-charge for box office. In the Sabres case they kind of had a false sense of demand due to the waiting list and the price points are now set way too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Bills fan who is a Jet season ticket holder ( I live about 20 minutes from MetLife) I can tell you both the Giants and Jets went thru their respective waiting lists with the move from Giants Stadium to MetLife. Many couldn't or wouldn't afford the PSL fee. I have two seats. At Giants Stadium I was paying $1700 for everything (tickets, parking pass). At MetLife I now pay $3700 for everything (tickets, parking pass, PSL fee). For the people of WNY I hope Rich Stadium, Ralph Wilson Stadium, Bills Stadium lasts a long time. You don't want a new stadium for what it will cost you. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball stadiums will probably limit fans but by the time football season starts, I could see stadiums near full capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
