QB Bills Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 For those who have attended bad weather games, do you find it's best to wait until closer to gametime to buy tickets? I've been searching for 4 in the lower bowl and the prices are still quite high. We're coming in from Toronto so the last thing we want is to not be able to get a decent set or end up paying even more out of desperation. Also, if the weather is bad at the end of the game, how long does it take to get out of the stadium and to the border? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Last year a buddy had to dump playoff tickets a day or two before the game. By then everyone knew it was going to be 5-below so he only got $30 for them. Seeing as how bad snow is a given, it might be rock bottom time for prices right now. Cheapest tickets at the moment of this posting are $99 not including fees. As for getting home it's going to be really bad around the stadium but better as you get close to the city. I won't venture a guess on how long it will take to get back. But if I were you I'd park further from the stadium and on the side of the road exiting away. You don't want to have to cross lanes to get out. That would be eastbound Southwestern, northbound Abbott or eastbound Big Tree, but this is important, well past the stadium lot exit become police shut Big Tree down for a long time to let people out of the stadium lots first.

RiotAct Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Some pairs in the 200 end zones on Ticketmaster for $95.20 per ticket (out-the-door) right now. Edited December 17, 2022 by RiotAct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob71 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 most of the tickets i get i purchase 2 - 3 hours before game and usually pay around 50 especially if weather isn't great. Last week got 3 tickets down low in section 311 and 313 for cheap but i didn't buy them til 11 am, I live close to stadium tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 stubhub has lower bowl tickets all over for under $150 plus fees. What do you consider "quite high"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uticaclub Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I just looked on StubHub and they seem pretty reasonable. In the stadium for less than $100, lower bowl less than $150. Cant ask for much better than that, most of those are below face 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Not just for bad weather games, but ALL games. If you wait to buy your tickets about 30 minutes before kickoff, you can get amazing deals on club seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I went to a game a few years back and a guy was holding a wad of tickets over his head " anybody need tickets? " he did this for about 15 minutes. Finally some 14 year old asked "how much? " The guy said "free, I just want to get rid of them. So this young kid got 10 tickets for free 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that once but not 10 tickets. They were from a bar that couldn't sell them to anyone.( Bad weather game) So I gave them away outside the stadium.

QB Bills Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the suggestions. We bit the bullet and paid 175 each for 4 in section 113. I'm sure we could have gotten a better deal had we waited but bird in hand and all that.. Thanks for the parking tip Promo. If there are any other suggestions on how to minimize the time to get back home (to Toronto) after the game, I'm all ears (eyes). Mini shovel, hand/foot warmers, cardboard..anything else I'm missing to brave the elements? The forecast doesn't look like it's going to be too cold but want to be prepared regardless.
