I don't think current Bills management will go for this idea!  Security, parking, bathrooms etc. will be the issues.  I think they don't want the "average" fan anymore!

Is he still playing for Toronto?  They have a poor record this season.  

Chad Kelly: had a really bad leg injury last year, and I think he's been out for Toronto ever since.

I knew he was injured last year but I thought he'd play in '25.  His salary must be among the highest in the CFL?

Supply and demand is more appropriate here. The fans are willing to spend on the product. I talked to a high ranking Bills official not too long ago that said they are ahead of schedule with the sales in the new stadium. They wanted to be done by next summer but it’ll be closer to the end of this season. 
 

I can only speak for myself when it comes to the new stadium. As a regular guy, I had a limit to what I was willing to spend. I declined the first offering and a week later, found seats that met my needs and budget. That’s how this works. No one is forcing anyone to buy in or not. If you can’t afford it, that’s life. I’d love to drive a Lamborghini around but it’s not realistic so I don’t. I don’t begrudge Lamborghini for pricing me out of the market. Their job is to make as much money as they can. It’s the same concept…

I was speaking of the U.S. economy. The 'supply, and demand market', is rigged. 

I'm old enough to remember, single wage earner households. 

Why not raise wages along with the compulsion, to squeeze America dry?

Some 'Regular guys', just might wind up in a cardboard box for living quarters someday.

Come to think of it, there are millions of such individuals, already.

"If you can't afford it, THAT"S LIFE" !  That's an ugly statement, especially to those that supported the Bills by buying tickets for years.  Now they are priced out of the smaller stadium capacity.  Yes, That's life for the average family!  SAD!

There is no venom, as you suggest. It truly is not personal, even if some are going to take it that way. Life in a lot of other places is more expensive (often FAR more) than in WNY. The Bills are just catching up. It’s not capital letters in bold font, but it is a fact.

Lol, that’s how the world works. That’s why I gave the Lamborghini example. I’d love to have one. I can’t afford it. That’s not Lamborghini’s fault. 🤣🤣 If I want one, I need to find a way to make more money. This is the same thing. I’m not entitled to one because I want one.
 

The Bills are now priced more in line with what people pay in the NFL. For YEARS, Bills tickets were some of the most expensive in the league on the secondary market. People paid it. They are opening a new stadium and will have it filled ahead of when they intended too. CLEARLY they haven’t priced themselves out of the market. 

 

I don’t know what “the average family” means. Who “has a right” to own NFL tickets? I’m in a 1 income house, with a small child 7 weeks away. I have club seats at the 20 yard line. If we were in NY or LA or Chicago, etc there is no way in hell that I could afford those. My current section is filled with people that look like me and almost all of them are in the same area in the new stadium. They’ve closed the gap to other teams in the league but are still plenty affordable by NFL standards.

What did your PSL cost - just interested??

$15K each and you can pay it over 10 years at like 10% or interest free until the stadium opens (which amounted to just about 2.5 years). It’s just about $1K a month (for 2 seats). They said most people have selected that option. We get whacked each month on the PSL as well as the payment on our current seats. By next year at this time, it’ll just be the ticket cost.
