How much of the crowd could we realistically have?

 

A quick scroll on Twitter has account after account saying London is flooded with Bills fans.  
 

I know a typical London game will have quite a bit of of British fans wearing random team gear. 
 

Is there a segment of tickets reserved for overseas folks?  Or could this truly become a pseudo-home game?

He's annoyed because the jet lag from eastern US to UK particularly sucks. And, as for the massive presence of Bills Mafia, it was less of a surprise and more like "Well, what the ***** did you expect??".

my uncle is there now for the game, and made it sound like pretty much all STH’ers got dibs to purchase/reserve tickets before the general public (although, obviously, a bunch would be held back for the well-connected, local people and organizations, etc)

I don’t remember but I don’t think I ever got a ST option to buy tix for this game. I pretty much figured out very early I wouldn’t be going to the game so I admittedly didn’t pay much attention to it. But I don’t think it was offered. Can anyone else confirm?

I remember getting emails about buying tickets but can't remember the details if it was ahead of the general public, or maybe through the NFL On Location.  I also knew I wasn't going to make the trip, so I just deleted them.

You're right.  All season ticket holders got was a chance to participate in an online sale a couple days before sales began to general public.  A limited number of tickets.  When I went online, there over 100,000 people ahead of me, so it obviously wasnt just season ticket holders.  Somehow, I still got a chance, but they have some weird credit card rules and I timed out without getting anything. It was awful.  There were NO tickets reserved strictly for season ticket holders.

Yes, but he was very annoyed with fellow passengers who were .....talking to each other

People talking to each other?  How dare they.  Don't they stare at their phones like everyone else?

Same.  There was a special sale for STH but it was no better than the general public sale….. my place in line for that was 242,000.  Ticketmaster US and UK is a joke. 
 

So I overpaid on secondary market and type this from London.  Rumors are true Bills fans everywhere. Went to 3 bars last night and everyone was full of Mafia. So far I’ve seen 2 Jags fans.
