All the people that want a dome are selling their tickets in protest. š¤£ Ā There are few original tickets available; thereās tons of resale available. Itās going to be brutally cold and a night game. Plus all the Canadian ticket holders are pretty much shut out from attending.Ā Edited January 12, 2022 by WotAGuy 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā $225 for a same day PCR to get back into Canada, insane hotel prices, crap weatherā¦wasnāt going to stop me. Ā Then my Bills buddy I was going with had to back out because he tested positive.

Buffalo716 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Let's be real attendance is being hurt by a few factors Ā Resale tickets could only be bought by fully vaccinated people.. I know a lot of bills fans and a lot of season ticket holders who aren't going to games because they're not fully vaccinated Ā And the fact that they're reselling means they were already bought from the Buffalo Bills 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) As many have said, first and foremost it's the weather. Ā This isn't going to be normal Buffalo winter that WNYers are immune to. Ā This is going to be a FRIGID experience and that is enough to keep people away. Secondly, it's tough for Canadians to come over the border, and I'm sure they represent a solid % of most home crowds.

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 The vaccine requirement and Canada being closed (is that still right?) obviously have some built-in effect. Throw in the fact that it's going to be one of the coldest games in Bills history and it makes a lot of sense. Ā And maybe a little bit of an effect from folks who are mad about no dome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's No Moon Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 The demographic of people who buy tickets to these games is older than the Bills and league want to admit. New stadium should be 55k max. Compact to amplify the noise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
