Many Canadian fans logistically not able to attend due to the hoops to get back across the border by Canadian government. Those are hard factual reasons. Facts matter- we lost a significant portion of our fan base with many of the CV barriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less than 100% for our first capacity playoff game in 25 years will be a failure. Don't forget, even with the modernizations and down-sizing, our stadium still holds 70,000. That's bigger, and in some cases a lot bigger, than many stadiums around the league. So our 90% capacity is their 100% capacity. See?

Scott7975 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 4 hours ago, WotAGuy said: But the OP isn’t about attendance. It’s about the number of tickets available, which are mostly resale tickets. Those resale tickets can be related to the mandate. Many season ticket holders chose to not give up their seasons even though they are not vaxed. Giving them up for refunds meant losing the tickets overall and many didn’t want to lose their seniority. So unvaxed season ticket holders are left to resell their tickets on the secondary market. You don't give up season tickets by not buying the playoff tickets.

Turbo44 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Tough sell this weekend: 1. After holiday $$ 2. Temperatures tonight 3. vaccine requirement 4. no Canadiens - that’s probably 10,000 people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there were only 500 tickets available from the Bills, it’s clear unvaxed season ticket holders retained their playoff tickets for resale, further adding to the available resale ticket inventory.

They saw the forecasts & instead the Sunday 1 & 4 slots are warm weather teams. Very simply should have had Cincy, Buff & KC all playing "Day games" and evening games TB, LA & Dallas.

There are so few available the game will look exactly like a sold out game on tv and from the player's perspective. The annoying Patriots fans and Boston media are the ones hyping this nonsense. The Bills Billboard in MA is getting under their skin. 🙂 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 5 hours ago, DrDare said: There are now only a few tickets under $70 (after fees) on ticketmaster going up fast A lot of people wait, trying to get a ticket at the best possible price at the last minute. I’ve talked to people at the tailgate who were holding off because it might go down a little more. That is NOT MY STYLE! If I decide to go to a game, I want my tickets in hand before I walk out of the house. That may not be financially optimal, but I need that peace of mind. However it works, I hope the seats get as full as possible! This is a game you can say “I was there”. Hopefully, you can say it proudly as a fond memory with a smile on your face!

There are a couple hundred left out of 70k. That is not "a ton" of tickets considering the weather, covid, and Canada. It is basically the amount that are open in a typical game due to no shows.
