We sat 6th row 20 yard line at the Ralph for the Carolina game this year for about $48 a seat if I remeber correctly. I'll still take the Bills prices despite the extra couple bucks.

kasper13 Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 I've paid $100+ for a ticket to baseball games, a Notre Dame FB Game and for hockey games and I have paid close to that for Bills away games as well. That was not my point. Sure it's only a couple bucks more per game and it's still low compared to other NFL cities but my point was after the crap season they had and the crap decade they have had and an unpopular head coaching choice yesterday, how do they justify slapping the fans with a ticket price increase? Anyone up on the economy in WNY these days? $20-$50 extra per season ticket isn't exactly pocket change for alot of people, especially for a losing team with no bright future on the horizon. I'm not digging for things to complain about. It's a legitimate complaint. The season ticket base is going to fall off by at least a few thousand if not more. It seems as if all of this is being done on purpose to drive fans away for whatever reason. Maybe the Bills are tired of having all of the home games on local TV. I don't have an answer as to the seemingly poor decisons that are continuing to be made at OBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 $20-$50 extra per season ticket isn't exactly pocket change for alot of people, especially for a losing team with no bright future on the horizon. 582559[/snapback] Frankly speaking, if an extra dollar or two per game, or an extra $20-50 for season tix, will keep a person away from the Ralph, the budget must be pretty tight. That person might want to re-evaluate how they're spending their money in the first place, and decide whether spending their last 45 dollars on a Bills ticket is the wisest of moves. But I don't feel sorry for them. There's likely a bunch of other areas where they squander their money, putting them in that position in the first place.

You gotta be kidding me! 582498[/snapback] Maybe they want new fans and want the Jerk Nation to go elsewhere? Price increase is no big deal; a lot of them are sold by scalpers who will just pass the cost on. And the new coach, despite the attempt by some fans and media outlets to portray it otherwise, is not that unpopular. Sherman didn't even get another interview and he was the whiners' favorite.

Draconator Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 THe Bills ticket prices sound fair to me. I mean, before this upcoming season, if you went to a 49ers game, it was $65, period! No tiered pricing. If you on the 50 yd.line 20 rows up, or at the top of that toilet bowl known as Candelstick Monster Park, it was $65. And some, (not many), 49er ticket holders are complaining, saying that a tiered pricing system will be too confusing for fans to understand, and will end the streak of non-blacked out home games.
