mrags Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 1 hour ago, Just Jack said: There was another company when it came time to replace the field in the early 2000's, that was either new to the business, or it was their first NFL field, that the Bills got it cheaper than other established companies, and now they also are out of business. Dallas is another stadium that does this. Pretty sure it was a local company and they were related to a friend of mine. Or maybe they were the ones that were hired to replace it. I don’t remember. But I know I’ve got some of that turf and my buddies entire barn is full of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein Posted Wednesday at 07:55 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:55 PM If this is correct, then PSL’s are following a formula of two and a half times the season ticket rate in the non-club seats. Question becomes: Is this a multiple of the current season-ticket rate, or the new stadium-season ticket rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She already introduced herself. That's why I had her number in my phone. That's why I'm frustrated she won't call back. Might have been a mis-dial but courtesy would dictate call back or at least an email saying whoops.

I am in 111 and got a call last Friday from a Legends rep that was looking to dispel rumors and put my mind at ease. I asked him what the policy was for deciding who gets a shot a Super Bowl tickets and he said it was a league policy and the Bills have no control over it. When I asked what the policy is, he didn't know. Not very transparent in my opinion. Probably will end a run since '77, just doesn't make sense to be paying for the right to buy tickets until I'm 79 years old.

To my understanding, is each team gets the same amount of tickets to disperse to their STH. And in lottery fashion, you get a ticket/entry for every seat you have, for every season you’ve had them. So for example, if you’ve had 2 tickets for 15 years, you would have 30 entries in the Super Bowl lottery. They then take the winners, and offer them tickets (at Super Bowl ticket prices, it’s still not cheap) and go down the list until they reach the amount of tickets they have for each team. The NFL has their own amount of tickets to sell for themselves, and they sell them early. You can buy SuperBowl tix now for next years superbowl if you want. A few years ago I bought tix and then we lost to KC in the AFC Championship game. Took a huge loss on tickets when I sold them in the secondary market to a broker. to my knowledge, that’s how it’s done, more or less. as far as this process with the PSLs and seat location for the new stadium, your probably going to pay a pretty penny for similar section type tickets. But I also think people are getting all bent out of shape regarding the current prices that are out there now. If you’re not worried about club seats. Heated. Covered. Extra amenities. You’re not going to be paying 10k for PSLs. If you’re looking for a lower bowl corner, or end zone seat, my guess is less than 5k for a PSL and probably about 2-4k per ticket. Just depends on how close you want to be, or what section. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always based on seniority. My guess is it is a combination of seniority and spend but don’t know the exact formula. It’ll be weighted somehow but not sure exactly how. I don’t know if it’s common knowledge but each team gets a substantial allotment of Super Bowl tickets whether they are in the game or not. I don’t remember the specifics but pretty sure that it’s at least 1,000. I reached out to a friend to confirm that number and will update once he responds. If you do the math though & 30 teams not participating account for 30k tickets, the league & it’s sponsors must be another 5k-10k. That leaves roughly 20k per participating team. By the time you address the internal needs / sponsors they probably have 15k seats available for a lottery of season ticket holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, don’t quote me on numbers but I recall from the saints Super Bowl that each team gets like 1.5% of the inventory and the teams in the game get like 5% additional (those numbers are almost certainly off but at least vaguely in the ballpark) Then the league gets a chunk, sponsors, media, the host city team received a bump up in their allotment, etc….

My buddy just texted me back. He works in a ticket office in the NFL. He said that he was at a meeting in January where they said that the participating teams get 4K-5K tickets. One of the last times his team was in the Super Bowl they had 11k so that’s way down. As a non participating team they have been getting about 650 tickets. So that math would say that roughly 30k tickets go to the teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted Thursday at 03:40 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:40 PM For a 15 year old memory I’ll take it being more like .8 than 1.5 for the non participating team and pretty darn close on the participating ones. I have zero recollection on the other percentages though. By the time you get through the million different allotments I think adds up fast.
