Potential for fans in the playoffs....
vanhalen26 replied to PirateHookerMD's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I’m in Canada and opted in. We pay a foreign exchange fee for purchases and refunds so I thought it made more sense to just leave the money on account. -
Buffalo Bills sing 12 Days of Christmas
vanhalen26 replied to Returntoglory's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don’t think TP was intentionally hiding to be funny. I think he thought he was out of sight. -
MVP is a popularity contest, josh may be a candidate next year but mahomes is already the chosen one this year unfortunately.

Bills will be a tough ticket next year
vanhalen26 replied to vanhalen26's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I’m just counting down the days. I still think full stadiums this fall, but whenever it is it’ll be a hot ticket and I can’t wait to be there once again! -
My friends are already hitting me up to come to a game or two next season with our season seats. I’ll bet they’ll have a run on season tickets! I can’t wait for next year! I’m loving this year of course but somethings missing with the empty stadium!

Bills could play entire AFC playoffs at home
vanhalen26 replied to BITE ME's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My buddy is now sold on the bills, mr bandwagon. I wonder if it’s too late to get seasons for next year. -
Gameday Thread PreGame Bills @ Titans
vanhalen26 replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Any injury/not playing due to covid reports? On a related note, I’m surprised no suspensions were handed down. -
Week 6: Chiefs at Bills (+5): Monday 5pm on Fox
vanhalen26 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Did they ever explain why 5pm? I’m happy we get to play, but they should at least share why. -
Week 5: Bills at Titans on Tuesday Night Football
vanhalen26 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Move Titans to Monday/Tuesday, chiefs to Saturday or Sunday, and pull a different game into the Thursday slot. To complete the year will take flexibility and it won’t always be fair. -
I hope it doesn’t happen, I like our stadium and I like where it is - but there were rumors of a pending consultants report and forthcoming plan to stay or go. I wonder how the current year might impact the long term plan and if any fan update might be coming soon.

Whos going to Miami next week?
vanhalen26 replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
With a few teams allowing fans, it brings the risk of virus transmission back to the visiting teams market if your unlucky enough to catch it while traveling. -
Athletic $1/Month For 3 Months, Cancel Anytime
vanhalen26 replied to Rico's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thank you, I was due to renew this week. Got $1.25 Canadian per month for a year. -
It may be less headache to ban all fans. I’m kinda screwed anyways cuz I’m in Canada, but we have 5 season tickets. Depending on how they allocate games if they have 50% attendance for example, people will complain about which games they got and how many seats they got, and where they were seated. It won’t be fun to handle that in the administrative team. I gotta say though that they are a class act - i called my account manager maybe 2 months back and asked what they would do with Canadian seat holders and I was told at that time that they would allow me to skip the year without penalty. That made me comfortable continuing my payments.

The risk of being caught is low, they’ve admitted as much. They are doing limited spot checks. The fines are insane. Here’s what an article on the topic posted today: The rules are punishable by a fine of up to $750,000 or a month in jail, and the government will be conducting spot checks to ensure compliance

I have seasons and live in Toronto. If we return from any country, the government requires we quarantine for 14 days. Makes it hard to justify going to a bills game - especially with a family that relies on me to be out and about. Today the government extended this rule from mid July to August 31st. There’s speculation that the rule may get extended to the spring. This makes it even less likely Canadians will be at games this year, what a downer. I floated this possibility on the forums a few months back, and the consensus seemed to be I was over reacting. Unfortunately I may have been correct. Hopefully we can get to games this year, even if it’s just the back half of the season.

The Athletic cutting staff/salaries

My athletics renewal was due next month. With the lack of sports I hit cancel. In return I was given a free bonus 3 months. -
Right or wrong time for season tickets?
vanhalen26 replied to loveorhatembillsfan4life's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Crossing the border is definitely a concern. Maybe the border will be open and you’ll need a 14 day quarantine upon return. I don’t know about you, but my wife would have my head under those conditions. That said, I’d buy the cheapest seats they have just to be on board, and if you want better seats upgrade in the season seat holder upgrade window the following year. Given the economy, unfortunately I’d suspect there will be good upgrade opportunities next spring as they will probably have a higher number than normal of members not renewing. If the games are played to fans in the stadium, it’s quite unlikely the stadium will be sold to capacity, so you can probably decline your seats on a per game basis - or if you are assigned a couple games by the bills, I’d suspect the tickets made available will be in high demand anyways - so that minimizes the financial risk if you can’t attend. -
Darn. Looks like the border may be an issue. Ah well, hoping we at least have a season to watch. I think even that remains a question for now. Here’s a quote from prime minister Trudeau today. “Travel restrictions are going to remain extremely important in terms of containing the spread of COVID-19 in Canada and we're going to continue to work with the Americans and people around the world, to ensure that we continue with these restrictions,” Trudeau said.

Seat relocation: Anyone notice the slim pickings?
vanhalen26 replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I know - I’m just getting old. I bring a young teen with me and it’s a little much for her to listen to still. My older teen on the other hand could probably swear up a storm on her own! -
Seat relocation: Anyone notice the slim pickings?
vanhalen26 replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Seemed like there were a lot of good seats last year to choose from, today not really. I was in the 12:30 window. We got lucky last year and got great seats so it would be hard to upgrade anyways. I was hoping to move though - even to similar seats. The people behind me get wrecked and even bring weed inside in a vape pen regularly ... not how I want to smell when I’m crossing a border 2 hours later. They also put Howard Stern to shame (who I enjoy with headphones), and the language is a bit much for me to listen to when I bring my kids to the games. I was tempted to call fan services a couple times, but I didn’t want to be a jerk.
