PromoTheRobot Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Will the game still be shown delayed on NFL Network ? Yes, and along the Bills TV network next day. PTR
Bufcomments Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Blacked out kids day? Even the kids know whats up... +1 true this made me LOL
High Mark Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Being that State and Local tax dollars fund the stadium (and many others) I wonder if there is any legal grounds to have this blackout rule ruled illegal by the court system. Its kinda like paying school property taxes every year, then the school charging your kids tuition too. Edited August 26, 2011 by Thoner7
Tsaikotic Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 my family/friends bought 19 tickets...my cousin will be cheering at the game, or before it, or something like that...some junior jills thing for high school cheerleaders...she's a wayne eagles cheerleader...anyways, thats 19 tickets sold at least...all adults at $15/each...ticketmaster messed up and then gave us adult seats at kids prices..hehe
3rdand12 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 the weather looks good for the game . Have fun!
offyourocker Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Link:http://twitter.com/JohnBorsa Really by blocking that game, they are probably doing the Bills fan a real favor Edited August 26, 2011 by offyourocker
justnzane Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Show me a preseason game in this country that actually does sell out? Thoner has the analogy perfect regarding the blackout rule. With almost every franchise being subsidized by local, state, and federal grants, the taxpaying fan at home is being shafted. In addition, it is widely regarded that the Rams left LA due to consistent blackouts and a ginormous stadium. The rest of the major sports don't have anywhere near as stingy of blackout policies. Hell even in England, Manchester United never have every seat accounted for and if BBC or ITV refused to show an ITV match the city of Manchester would look like London did a couple weeks ago. The fact is blackouts hurt teams that are struggling more than anything else. It weakens them by alienating their fanbase. On top of that, blacking out preseason games is like arresting the guy who agrees to a date with a hot girl and walks away when her not so attractive sister takes her place halfway through the date.
silvermike Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Of course, Ralph could buy up the remaining tickets, right? Would that cost him anything, since he owns the team?
Mark Vader Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 The game should still be available to watch online somewhere. Anyone know where online the game will be?
3rdand12 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Of course, Ralph could buy up the remaining tickets, right? Would that cost him anything, since he owns the team? I still cant get over this black out. Its gosh darn pre season.
BillyBaroo Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 I can't believe the NFL requires blackouts for preseason games. It's a terrible rule and needs to change, even if the league will blackout home games during the season. agreed - that makes no sense at all - especially if you are trying to get some kind of excitement about a young team!
NyQuil Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Blacking out preseason. LOL. I'll be there...to work 8 hours of overtime.
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Before the recent invention of Kids' Night, every Bills home preseason game has been blacked out, with a few minor exceptions (perhaps the first one was on TV in 1973?). There is nothing to get all worked up about, people. Really.
K-No Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 We got 6 tickets high up in a sideline lowerbowl section for $6 each off stubhub. Anyone who buys the $15 kids tickets with the adults at full price is getting scammed by the Bills. If everyone thought that lower level tickets at $15 is a scam, there would never be a sold out game.
Virgil Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 If everyone thought that lower level tickets at $15 is a scam, there would never be a sold out game. My, aren't we cheeky?
samothyev Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Looks like were relocating. Can't even sell out a preseason game, some marketing ploy to make us buy regular season tickets I'm sure Ralph is cheap This team is trying to lose We Need Luck! I think that covers it This is not Ralphie's fault(I agree he's a cheap bastard!). It is an NFL rule which I really think they should toss for preseason!
