And then filing out with all the fans after the match, down these little row house lined streets, heading for the pubs and the tube stations was really great! Yea proper.

The Bills don't know yet how many tickets they will get, or when. I'm sure the Bills have some plans about how they will allocate tickets to season ticket holders, but they aren't saying yet.

BillsPride12 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 For the people that are/were planning on attending this game, how are your arrangements going so far?

I find it bizarre that we are so in the dark about this and honestly, it shows a casual disregard for the fans. Planning a trip to London isn’t cheap and there’s a lot that goes into it. Yet we have zero communication regarding tickets. Who has gotten communication? Those willing to big vacation packages through the Bills or box seats. Maybe I should stop acting surprised by these things, but I guess I keep forgetting this is such a business first league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was around 7,000th in the queue and when I was allowed into the site to buy all the cheapest options had sold out. Almost unremarkably, I received an email from StubHub about 30 minutes later telling me tickets were on sale for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also booked our flights and hotel room a couple weeks ago. Yesterday we "panicked" and bought tickets. Did not want to get to London without tickets. Got section 318 (50 yd line) Premium tickets which include food and beverages. Depending on exchange rate it will be about $670 each. We used American Express concierge to get tickets at what is supposed to be actual face value. We figured it is a one time adventure. Based on feedback from this thread we are spending 5 days in London and 3 days in Paris. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it makes some sense, I suppose. They don't know what teams are playing well, for sure, until the schedule is finalized. I suppose the league could get the schedule done earlier, but maybe not. They have a draft to run, for example. Once the schedule is done, they have to finalize the ticketing arrangements with Ticketmaster Europe and with the stadium where the game will be. And I'm sure there are plenty of other details. Could they do it earlier? Sure, but it gets more and more complicated the earlier they do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re a general sports fan I highly recommend taking in a ‘soccer’ match on the Saturday afternoon before the Bills game on Sunday. You don’t have to go to a Premier League match…which are generally pretty expensive. The Championship League offers a very similar experience at significantly lower prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritBill Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Anybody in the position where they just want to have tickets in hand quickly and don't mind paying very over the odds there are plenty on StubHub https://www.stubhub.co.uk/nfl-london-2023-jacksonville-jaguars-vs-buffalo-bills-tickets-tottenham-hotspur-stadium-8-10-2023/event/105905006/ Could well work out that paying an extortionate amount for tickets might offset increased cost of travel if you book that later?
