Taking my daughter to her first Bills game v Bengals. Ticket question.

[psuscott16]

Flying in from Colorado Springs to go to the Bangals game. Wanted my daughter to see a game in the old stadium where I went to many games in the 90s when I was her age. 

 

Question - how far out should I buy tickets? Ill probably need 5 and dont want to push it too close to game day for fear that we won't find any or the price will go up. Thanks!

I've been at it a long time both selling and buying Bills tickets.

 

I can tell you 95 percent of the time you find the best price 24 hours before the game.

 

People pay a premium to buy their tickets early and have their seats locked in and not have to worry about it. If you like living a lil on the edge and gambling/saving money I always suggest waiting and being patient.

 

As an example I've had my eye on some tickets to the Bills game tomorrow as I live in NJ. The prices on stubhub are down about 30-40 percent from where they were just 2-3 nights ago.  Prime seats that were 800-900 each are $475 tonight. Corner lowers were $250ish they are now $150ish.

 

You can save some serious coin by waiting.

 

The slight issue you'll have is 5 seats together is a bit of a unicorn situation. 2-4 tickets are much more prevalent, therefore you can usually find a good deal on these quantities. I still think you'd be better off waiting, though. Live on the wild side!

If you're serious about this and can wait... Then trust me, last minute.

 

Since it's for your daughter and I'm soft to that with my own I will proudly help you through this to buy like I do. And it works, many here have seen me do it and may attest. I will offer my assistance to help.you through this and you can PM me if you want, I'll give you my cell when the game comes closer 

 

Don't buy anything early. Waiting until the last few hours is perfectly fine. 

 

I won't give all my secrets away here but I got a playoff seat for $85 that was front row when everyone around me paid $600.

As above, buy them a day or two before the game.
