chongli Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Didn't see this in a search, but mods feel free to delete if already posted: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/02/11/bills-raising-ticket-prices-for-2022-season/ "The team announced on Friday that season tickets will increase by an average of $11.57 per game. The average price for season tickets across regular and club seating will now be $113 per game while general admission will go up to $91.98. “We think it’s fair market value,” Bills vice president of ticket sales and service Chris Colleary said. “We compare other teams’ prices; we compare our historical prices. We compare the value of that seat as a season ticket, the value as a single game. We evaluate every seat, every row. There are some seats that may go up $3 a game and there are others that might go up $20 a game. The seats that go up $20 a game might be in the first five rows of the 100-level compared to a seat in the 300 level. So, we factor all those things in it.” Colleary also said that the team now has a waiting list of about 3,000 for season tickets and they may increase season ticket capacity as a result."

PromoTheRobot Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Since we only get 8 home games this year the price we pay might not change from last year. But then they won't increase next year but have 9 home games. $$$$ They did this with the Toronto series when some years we'd only have 7 home games to blunt the perception of price increases. The NFL is an expensive club to belong to. EDIT: I'm wrong. I forgot they add a 2nd preseason game when there's only 8 home games. SO you're paying for 10 either way.

But technically, teams get the same number of home games each season, since when they are away for nine games, they get to host two pre-season games, instead of just one.

The preseason tickets are the biggest scam I've ever seen. You pay full price for meaningless games played in large part by guys that won't be in the team in 3 weeks. Then they jack up priced for the Divisional and (if we were to host) AFCCC because those games mean more. Which is understandable. However paying the full bird for preseason is a rip off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically you aren't. Look at your invoice. The Bills use dynamic pricing. Every game is a different price. Pre-seasons are the cheapest. Say you pay $1,000 for a season ticket. In your mind you think every game is a $100 ticket. But some games might be $200 and the preseason games $50.

I always took preseason games to mean the start of tailgating season. It's summer its nice out. Go to the stadium and start grilling some food and drink a few beers. The game is secondary. I will go in the stadium but usually leave by halftime. Tailgating is the primary event for a preseason game. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwhit34 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 If the Germany and Mexico games are any indication, I think the league is moving towards having each team play 8 home, 8 away and 1 neutral site game. That probably makes a lot of sense in the long run, maybe that 5th inter-conference game ends up being the neutral site game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyal2dagame Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Can the county and state negotiate no PSLs for the new stadium as part of the financing? Or it's it something only the team has control over? Also, i don't remember seeing who it's going to actually own the stadium. Is it Erie County or the Pegulas?

It won't be what the Jets/Giants charge since they can draw from NYC but prices will go up significantly. You know that saying about "**** travels down hill".
