The NEW Bills Stadium and the NEW Las Vegas

[DeepPass]

It's not hard to observe the Corporate strategies at these two destinations.

 

Las Vegas isn't about cheap food, inexpensive drinks and living like a king for a few days of gambling anymore.  With $16 Budweiser's, resort fees higher than room rates and $150 buffets the 'average' tourist is being priced out.  The Corporations that run Las Vegas are making higher profits with less people coming to town.  The wealthy and high rollers are  now their target guests.

 

It seems to me the Bills are using the same strategy with the new stadium.  Fewer seats, seat licenses and much higher ticket prices are making it difficult for the 'average' fan to attend a game.  The people that filled the 80,000 seats in Rich Stadium and now 70,000 seats are being left out.  They aren't needed anymore!  The Bills will make more profit with fewer fans to deal with.

 

I think we'll miss the days of raucous, crazy fans cheering on the Bills!

You’re describing literally every big business there is, it’s not just a Bills/Las Vegas thing. I’m honestly trying to think of something popular now (or even a necessity like flying) that hasn’t priced out the average American/family. I just read today that it now costs an average of $4000-$10,000 for a family of 4 to go to Disney for 5 days

You're right, but that's just how this country has become. The NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. isn't targeting the average American for live games anymore. 

 

Corporations buying up real estate, driving up prices so the aerage person can no longer buy a house. Grocery prices through the roof. College tuition has become so expesive it's shocking. Tickets to concerts & live events cost a small fortune. Subscription services increasing prices faster than ever. 

 

It's effecting every hobby.

 

Like for mine - Video games & video game consoles used to go DOWN in price. Not anymore! You got Microsoft raising prices on 5 year old hardware twice in the same year. Nintendo raising prices on 9 year consoles. Games were $60 for 15 years, now they've gone up to $70 & $80 in just the last 5 (plus tons of in-game microtransactions & DLC).

 

So don't get mad at the Bills. They're just keeping up with the Jones' (and Jerry Jones').
