TheFunPolice Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 dumb question maybe, but does this mean 20K per seat, just for the right to then buy the seats? So 2 season tickets means 40K fee just to buy the tickets on top of that? Is it one-time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WotAGuy Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Secondary market tickets are going to be out of sight. A lot of people that are priced out of their seasons are going to be priced out of the secondary market too. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 12 minutes ago, Mango said: The cost of having kids now is astronomical. Even without kids I feel like me and the Mrs. can't go to the grocery store for any reason and not spend $100 even if it is just filling in some gaps in ingredients we already have. I think about being/having a teenager now and the cost of vehicles in a town like Buffalo. Say you have a fairly outgoing kid. Plays a couple of sports, maybe a club, and a part time job a few days per week. Gone are the days of getting a part time job, saving birthday money, mowing some lawns, etc. and saving for a jalopy to get yourself where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. Are parents expected to drop $400-$600 per month (plus down payment) on a lease? $10-$15k on a "junker"? Or as money gets tighter and bosses start to clamp back down to "in person" for less money are parents supposed to leave work to take their kid everywhere? I made a very concerted effort last weekend to spend as little as possible on groceries. Planned every meal, omitted things that I didn't need, no snacks, no beer, no extra drinks. 150 bucks. Hell, I've basically stopped drinking just because I can't afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see how Buffalo handles this issue as time continues on I have Jets seasons and when MetLife opened my PSL's were originally 10K per seat. Ticket sales weren't going well at all. Eventually I got an e-mail from the Jets saying they were reducing my PSL from 10K to 5K per seat. Once that was announced tickets sales picked up. I would imagine the Bills will have to do the same and eventually lower the price if sales are weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 2 hours ago, BullBuchanan said: They wouldn't, and NFL owners don't want those people. They drive down the perceived value of the brand. There's a reason they reduced capacity in the new stadium. The NFL wants to create an exclusive atmosphere - not an accessible one. The poors can watch on TV while the affluent get VIP meet & greets with TSwift next year. I'm guessing the poor will eventually need to pony up money to watch games too. Barring an act of Congress? I say that sarcastically but At least One congressman was livid enough to comment regarding last years playoff situation https://patryan.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-pat-ryan-blasts-nfl-nbc-greedy-bait-and-switch-scheme-we-already 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 They’re going section by section to learn the limits of the big fish first and then to squeeze out the commoners for the big fish who can’t or won’t buck up for the premium seats. Smart business. But really bad for the regular folk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’m betting that Buffalo will not lower the price of the PSLs at all. there are half as many suites in the new stadium compared to the old. They are targeting the suite people and the people with mid field clubs right now. The prices will not be like this for many more sections. The drop off will be significant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gflande1 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I did hear they’ll have a rent a center type of plan to pay the PSL. The $50k seats will only be $99/week for 20 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t going to have any issues selling out the new stadium. And they definitely aren’t going to lower prices. Bet on it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
