I'm sure they won't have any problem selling out. It's not that many tickets, and now that they're good, it'll draw in plenty of more casual fans with disposable cash.

In almost every case, I'd rather watch sports on TV rather than see them in person, especially football. You lose so much perspective by not being able to see the action as clearly as you can on TV and I feel like announcers and TV production in general can add a ton to the overall experience. It's cool to sit high at the 50 yard line to see all the strategy play out but you miss the details of the plays. The opposite is true for sideline and endzone seats, except in that case you end up watching msot of the game on a Jumbotron instead.

 

As long as Allen is the QB they may be fine.  It'll get interesting to see what happens after he retires.

If the Bills do the same as the Jets and Giants did then they will be non-refundable. Expect the Bills to ask for the money in 2025 a year before the stadium opens. That is what happened with the move from Giants Stadium to MetLife Stadium.

I received an email as a STH stating they will be reaching out this summer. I fully expect they will want some kind of pmnt at that time. The email did however say that because I was already a STH I didn’t need to do anything. Idk

When MetLife was deemed safe tour both the Jets and Giants invited their season ticket holders to take a tour. Gives fans an idea of what the stadium looks like and where they want to sit. More importantly where they can afford to sit. A lot of fans who had tickets in the lower bowl at Giants Stadium took seats in the upper deck at MetLife for financial reasons. The Bills have to plan for all of this. I could see the Bills offering tours to their season ticket holders when the stadium is safe to walk around in.

It’s not going to happen. They already stated it’s going to be at least a year before it even resembles what might be a stadium. This first year is going to be almost all ground work. I don’t foresee any real structures going up until at least next summer. And they won’t have enough time to do what you are saying. They will be doing everything virtual at a 3rd party site located 25 min away from the stadium in Williamsville, in the Tony Walker plaza. 
 

I really wish what you had as a GiantsJets ticket holder came true here but it’s just not happening. Season ticket holders will be picking their seats before there is even walls up for the new stadium.

For the premium seats, yes you can expect that.

Most will fall between $1500 and $5000...... which is my guess.

 

This was from the survey done by Legends that was sent out on behalf of the team about a year ago.   It said that not all options may be available and again, it was a survey, but one would think that's about what we're looking at.  

 

I'm going to reorganize it by sidelines, EZs, etc. at some point.  This is the way it was presented.  

 

----------------------

 

The click-through poll laid out 48 price points for seats that range from the upper-level end zone (cheapest at $750 a ticket with a $600 PSL) to a field-level club seat between the 40-yard lines ($6,050 a ticket with a survey-high $24,750 PSL) to a 16-seat sideline suite ($347,700 for the box, averaging $21,250 a seat with no PSL).

Really that is surprising. It took them 3 years to build MetLife. They still had time for tours. You can have a virtual tour which is helpful but it's not even close to being there live. Bills fans deserve to be able to take a real tour in the stadium to get a feel for the place since the Bills will be asking for a lot of money from them.

Believe me. I agree with you 100%. I’m actually pretty angry about it. But everything I’ve been told from multiple sources is that you will have to pick your seats virtually and that process starts this summer. By the time they even have the ability to have tours it’ll be too late imo. You’ll have already picked your seats at that point.

You don't have to put a deposit down. And your ST seniority will determine when you get the call. I'll bet they will offer a payment plan for PSLs.

That’s a given. I expected all of that 100%

High ticket prices means empty seats. More and more people are having trouble making ends meet. I've watched living standards decline since the 80's and the economy no shown no sign of turning around during that time regardless of who is in the WH. It's hard to justify buying football tickets if it means you can't afford to take your child to the doctor.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.  I have no interest in getting season tickets in the new stadium but was hoping to play the "game" with the ticket reps up to the point I could get a tour of the new stadium but there's no way I'm giving them any $$$ in advance

Yeah I don’t think that’s going to happen at all for you. I could be wrong but everything I’ve read, heard, and been informed by multiple reps is it’s not going to play out that way. The best you’re going to get is a virtual tour. Maybe yours will happen once there’s some significant structures up, but I believe it’ll end up being too late if you plan on getting one before you e already started to make pmnts or at least committed to seats.

They'll probably offer tours for a fee once the stadium opens, like the Raiders.
