mushypeaches Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I've kept the ticket stub in my wallet for most of the past 30 years. It's in significantly less than pristine condition... It is a great conversation piece though and I love to have it handy when I meet folks in bars or tailgating. And to this day, it's still the loudest, craziest crowd I've ever been a part of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna check these out on Ebay. The thing that sucks for me is I was actually was there (everybody claims to be but I definitely was) but did not have a ticket. My buddy and I gave a guy a pack of cigarettes at halftime and and he let us through one the non fan gates. Some guy in a wheel chair was manning it. We walked in because we lived in EA and had nothing better to do and figured we could kill the afternoon at the stadium because it was a blowout. Turned into the greatest afternoon of my young adult life. Edited February 28 by blitzboy54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBFL Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 $30 for a premium ticket… Cant even buy a couple beers and some food for that price anymore. 😑 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Does OP know the game is over? These tickets won’t get you into the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I was there with 3 other guys and we were this close to leaving at halftime. We decided to see how the 1st drive of the 2nd half would start and it ended up with the Bills throwing a pick-6 to fall even further behind. At that point, we said, "what the hell, we stayed through halftime, so we might as well stick it out." It was an unseasonably warm day for early January. Had the weather been anything like the last couple of Bills home playoff games, we likely would have bailed. I probably have my torn half of the ticket stub at the bottom of a drawer somewhere. If I find it, I'm happy to sell it to someone for a few hondo. Since the ticket was actually used, I think it has more value than some unused ticket. Put another way, not only was I there, but that ticket stub was there too! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I have mine. It’s used, and therefore more valuable to me than any other sports memorabilia I own. I stayed to the end, too.

Bills4life1924 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 (edited) Info on how these tickets were obtained.... My father drove limo as a 2nd job. He was supposed to drive to this game for his boss(the season ticket holder) and his group, but the owner cancelled the trip that morning. He would always give my dad everything the day before including the game tix. He never asked for them back and my father had tix ever since. If you are from the Herkimer/Utica area I'll be glad to share season ticket members name, to see if you know him. Also my dad is just getting back into cards after retirement and he deals with a guy from card shop. My father had no clue what to list these at let alone knows how to use ebay lol. The guy from card shop decided to start at the prices. Btw, my dad's a jets fan haha Edited February 27 by Bills4life1924 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I attended the game I think I'd be pretty interested in buying a pair to hang up in my basement but I was still pretty young then. Without it having the sentimental value to me I don't think I'd spend too much $$$ on them but it would be a cool piece of memorabilia to have. I do have the ticket stub of my first game I went to as a kid hanging up in the basement. Bills-Redskins 1996. Jim Kelly's last season. Darick Holmes ran wild that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAndrew Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 7 hours ago, stevestojan said: $500 for a ticket from the 2nd biggest comeback in NFL history sounds…. steep? And this is coming from a guy who spends his money on a lot of stupid *****. I’m with you. I like collecting music stuff, so so I get it. People will put a hefty price tag on things they love. I wouldn’t make fun of anyone for buying these, but the sentimental appeal of that game no longer exists for me. As you mention, it’s not the greatest comeback, and it was just the path to another losing Super Bowl. I think recent success has made me less sentimental about that game. I still treasure the Super Bowl appearances, but that game doesn’t mean as much for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the historical nature of the game but a collector such as myself I could never see myself shelling out 500 for the unused ticket. I have a torn ticket & the program from the game. 1st $5,000 gets it. 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I'm a season ticket holder and we had tickets for this game. Unfortunately, there was an ice storm that morning (Elmira/Corning area) and it took an hour to drive 10 miles. We gave up and went home. If we had driven a other 5 miles, we found out later that it turned into just rain. At least we could see it on tv. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Jones Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I’m not a “collector”, and would never spend that much on an item, but if I were, and if I was interested, the thing about this item is that there’s ZERO identifying info on this ticket stub telling me exactly what game it was for. IOW, I just have to believe it was for that game. If I show this to 99.99% of the world's population, they will have no idea what game it’s from….it doesn’t even show the date or even the year!
