January 1990 - Bills somehow got into playoffs but ended up visiting Cleveland. On a whim I decide to call Ticketmaster (remember this is before the internet, ebay, stubhub, etc) and what-do-you-know I am able to get tickets! So my first "away game" was the playoff game against the Browns where Beebe did his reverse pogo. Also went to 2 playoff games in Pittsburgh.
Had airfare and hotel but headed down to Tampa for SB XXV without game tickets. Went to the Bills Bar (Nickle City), got the name of a guy from the bartender, called him, and on Saturday night got the last 3 tickets he had for $500 each.
