I will be there. Section 524, Row 5. 
 

I balked a bit at the price, but my wife (a Bears fan) talked me into it.

I live in LA, and I'll be there with my kid. If you're traveling from out of town, you will be shocked at how many transplant Bills fans there are in LA. It will almost sound like a home game. Should be some fun tailgating, also. Stay tuned!

 

Going to be embarrassing for the Rams when they raise their championship banner to boos.

Just bought mine. Bills sideline, section C116. Row 3. Probably won’t be able to see over the players, but we’ll have a great view of JA17 calves. Wait, what? 
 

Anyway, can’t wait!!

Why are the majority of the lower bowl called "club seats"?

 

What are the benefits compared to a regular seat?

For me the benefit was it was the most affordable aisle seat left on stub hub. 
 

edit: I just looked and apparently they’re all individual padded seats with arm rests. Yay?

I have a pair of tix sec 234 row 22 seats 17,18 for $390/ticket. That’s about $200 cheaper than any pair in the 200s on Ticketmaster due to fees. I found a pair for myself in sec 236 after I got these, so I just want to sell these for what I paid!

 

hit me up if you want em!

Are you familiar with the immediate area around the stadium? My family got an Airbnb two blocks from the stadium was wondering how the neighborhood is.

It’s Inglewood, so it’s aight and not the best area as in walking around and stuff.  But it’s not far at all from better areas.  I mean you are like 10 min from the Beach even.

I'm planning on going, but am going to try waiting until closer to game time.  The ticket prices are insane and I don't want to sit in the nosebleeds if I'm going to travel cross country.  Hopefully something works out. 

 

I can't imagine being a fan of that team and trying to go to games regularly with those prices

If you go, I'll look for you.  Is your avatar picture a self portrait? 🤔

They sure won't be cheering and when have Bills fans been known to be quiet. Especially if they take over SoFi which I expect will be the case.

We will find out if I am right on gameday then. I think their will be a decent amount of boos when they raise the banner. JMHO

[muppy]

San Diego Billsbackers facebook has posted they are going to hire buses to and from PB for the game. For me that would be ideal 🙂 I am going to TRY to squeak in with a last minute cancellation but clearly no guarantees.

 

Otherwise I'll be here saving my pennies for an Orchard Park road trip

 

Either way it's going to be EPIC. ....and for the record I would never boo another teams championship in their own crib I think that's tacky just sayin'

So, I had to share this bit of news with my Bills fan brethren…we had a couple over for dinner on Sunday; really good friends we’ve known for over 15 years.  The guy does some college sports broadcasting for the Big 10 network and ESPN.  I tell him my wife and I bought tickets and are going out to LA for the opener.  He says, “a company I do some work with has a suite at SoFi; let me reach out to them and see what’s up for that game.”

 

Yesterday afternoon, I get cc’d on an email from my buddy to his assistant confirming two tickets in their suite for the game.

 

Needless to say, we’re f***ing pumped!

 

[Buffalophil1948]

Just confirmed yesterday, girlfriend got 2 tickets to a suite through her company.  She's an efn keeper! Best Father's day ever

Got my tickets, bringing my HS son from pdx, OR.  I don't think I saw this on the thread...are there any tailgates that aren't $100/per person for some bbq.  I would love to take him to hang out with some fellow Bills fans that doesn't require an online ticket purchase.  Don't get me wrong, happy to contribute with my fellow Bills fans but a VIP BBQ seems a little much

I believe I read where that includes parking and ~10 minute walk to stadium. Parking is expensive at stadium or nearby lots.

Here is what is crazy...

 

Ive been looking at tickets for the Rams game because a suite invite we got back in May is looking like its gonna fall through with couple that was getting now looking like they wont be in town.  I live 6 miles from SoFi here in CA.  

 

For the price of 2 decent tickets, I can instead buy flights, hotel, and better tickets in Buffalo to watch the Monday night game in Buffalo week 2 than just go to the game at SoFi.  Its freaking nuts.  

 

So started looking for tickets again, and its crazy.  I know a lot of people who normally I could get tickets from, but they are either going or just can sell for too much money right now, which I dont blame them either way.  Anyone I know who has decent to good seats is able to sell them for $900 to $2000 a ticket.  Its like this is a playoff ticket or something, its absurd.  

 

Affordable tickets are the high nose bleed seats where I will spend most the time watching the jumbo tron while I eat crappy over priced food and drink $18 beers.  If I am gonna just watch a game on a screen, I might as well do it at home on my 85" Sony and beach party all day with friends and BBQ up some bomb food and drink what I want.  Then instead, fly to Buffalo for the Monday night game and have way more fun.    

 

Never would I have ever thought in a million years I would consider skipping a Bills game in my own backyard...but at these prices, I think I would rather go to Buffalo for another game with better seats and for less money and better tailgate.

I'm in the same boat. Because SoFi is such an incredibly over the top stadium,  everything is 10x more than it should be.  Watching the game in Laughlin with family and flying out to Buffalo later in the season. 

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

I'm not positive but it seems prices have gone up since a couple months ago when tickets first came out for this game.

 

We live a couple hours away and we were going to bring a lot of family and friends but with the price of tickets, we've settled for the 500 section and it will instead just be myself and two brothers. Tickets are way overpriced for this game. Wonder if they will come down a couple days before the game?

I hear ya…what does it for me is the fact this is THE opener, and a chance to see SoFi and hang out in Marina del Rey for a few days.  I used points to book the hotel and the game is amazingly free (suite).  I’ll be doing the at home thing the following week, putting up my 120” screen in the backyard and inviting friends over for the Monday nighter.

 

[Alphadawg7]

So my wife pointed out to me that the game in Miami is super cheap!  Airfare and hotel is like $500 a person from LA non stop and great seats are like $180 a ticket.  So we can get great seats and cover all travel with direct flights on Jet Blue for about $750 a person to go to the Miami game in Miami.  
 

We have never been to Miami, so we are thinking of hitting that game as well.  We can do a game in Buffalo and a game in Miami, both with good seats, for cheaper than one Rams game with similar good seats that’s in our own backyard at SoFi.  And I’m talking we can do both games combined…including tickets, flights, hotel for less than equivalent tickets would be at SoFi. 
 

The kind of good tickets we can get from $200-400 in Miami and Buffalo respectively would be over $2000 a ticket at SoFi.

I was just looking at the Miami game. The heat might be terrible still and Idk if I can do all these flights that close together. The coast to coast flights kill me. I need like a month to get my body back right after them.

Sounds like a no brainer. I'd never drop $2,000 on one game. Only way that would be a remote possibility would be if I had a chance to watch the game from the sideline. Even then probably not as I prefer to be at least 20 rows up or so to have better perspective of the action. 

[C.Biscuit97]

I think I’m going to LA for a few days to hang out in the environment and tailgate but watch it out in a beach town. All that is probably cheaper than a ticket to the game.
