BuffalothruMyVeins Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I got the text from the Bils app--- when it started: "Ralph Wilson, Jr. has guaranteed the purchase...", for a split second, my heart started racing. I just saw "Ralph Wilson Jr." popping up on a notification that I don't normally see, so I definitely got nervous...
apuszczalowski Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 They're starting a guy at QB who was parked on the PS 2 weeks ago and for whom no other team would add to their active roster. If they don't sell out this week's game, it should be enough evidence that weather isn't the only reason why fans aren't going. Theres always excuses why the "NFLs greatest fans" who deserve their team can't sell out the cheapest tickets in the league.

Gordio Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Theres always excuses why the "NFLs greatest fans" who deserve their team can't sell out the cheapest tickets in the league. This is coming from a season ticket holder so I do go to the games(although I gave my tickets away to my nephew & his friends this week) but with all the outlets there are to buy tickets(Ebay, Stub Hub, Ticket Exchange) I really think the bills need to sell the games out before the season starts(or get close to that number) to get the games sold out. Once the season starts, they are going to have trouble moving large blocks of seats especially if they don't win. String together a playoff season or 2 & you would see the place sold out every Sunday. I really believe that.

billzfan Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Sold Out!!!!! Ralph just purchased remaining tickets...
Kaz Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Exactly. If you really want to go to the game, cough up the $40(I guaranty you could get tickets for even less @ the stadium if you wait right around game time) & head to the stadium. If you can't afford the $40 you probably got more pressing needs then watching a Bills game anyways. I have season tickets but I am not going. I just don't feel like going up to the stadium & watching Thad Lewis QB this team. It is going to be a beautiful day out & I am going to bring the TV out on the patio, grill some ribeyes, play some wiffle ball with my son & drink about 20 beers. Will I be able to watch the Bills game? No, but I will find some other games to watch, maybe even between teams that have QBs playing for them that should actually be in the league & not QBing the local semi pro flag football team like the QB we have going for us this week. You're planning on getting plastered while playing ball with your son, yet it's the guy who doesn't have $40 (for each ticket, mind you, plus parking and concessions, etc.) to spend on football tickets who has issues?

And I'm sorry. This was a Jacksonville job by Bills' fans. Props to that greedy punk Ralph Wilson. Trying to fatten his pockets with super expensive tickets.
TheMadCap Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 When Wilson buys the extra tickets, doesn't he usually give them away to underprivaledged kids? That's pretty cool!
nucci Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 When Wilson buys the extra tickets, doesn't he usually give them away to underprivaledged kids? That's pretty cool! or military personnel

Wow, I know Bills fans are regularly duped into buying tickets to Bills games that feature both has been's and never will be's, but will we really plunk down our $'s religiously to sell out every game before the season begins? Have the Bills moved their headquarters to Rome?
thebandit27 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 The greddy SOB Wilson and his incompetant henchman Branden should elect the 85% option so this wouldn't be an issue. Why there isnt a campaign to get rid of both these losers is amazing to me ! Wilson, SELL THE TEAM ! Ahem?
plenzmd1 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 cool he is buying them...but i am 100% positive it was a ton less than the 5300 they reported yesterday. About 1 pm yesterday, after a quick glance at the ticketmaster site, there was no way more than 1000 left. I do not know where the 5300 comes from..does someone else know for sure?
Canadian Bills Fan Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 It’s funny. Yesterday I was thinking about how great an owner Ralph is and then he does this. Some people complain about the Bills for different reasons but the most important thing to me is that they have always stayed in Buffalo and the ticket prices are among the lowest in the league. Say what you want about Ralph but he is one of the all time great owners. CBF
thebug Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 That's good news and great for the folks who will receive these tickets.
QCity Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 When Wilson buys the extra tickets, doesn't he usually give them away to underprivaledged kids? That's pretty cool! or military personnel My God Ralph is so #$%ing cheap he makes our military and underpriviledged kids sit in the upper deck. Any other owner would have bought out club seats for our soldiers what a disgrace.
zow2 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 So did Ralphie get the $15 discount or did they make him buy at full price?!?
papazoid Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 So did Ralphie get the $15 discount or did they make him buy at full price?!? I think he pays $.34 on the dollar.
