Didn't they cap them at 60,000 a few years ago and kept the rest open for individual ticket sales. Anyway no surprise. Team is primed for a great season so the demand for tickets was going to be high. Add the fact that it will be 2 years since fans have been in the stadium so they missed going to games. I know I did last year.

this ever happen before??

 

The year Rex Ryan was hired, season tickets sold out in record time (at that time).  I'm not sure if this season beat that record or not.

 

EDIT:  I stand corrected.  The record was the number; not the speed.

Even in the worst years you could get close to break even on Bills tickets.

That was true for a very long time but not in the last couple years before the McDermott era.  It was starting to get to be very hard to sell tickets

It depends on where your seats were. If they were excellent seats (i.e. lower level between 35 and 50), there was always a market.

Back in the 90s, the stadium also sat 80,000 people making sellouts very challenging..

I believe the comeback game wasn't sold out. I think that one had about 75,000 which was a great crowd. A small market team shouldn't have a stadium that big but Bills fans still did a great job filling it. I think the 73,000 we have now is a nice number for the market size.
