PromoTheRobot Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) There would be 55,000 tickets sold and the game would be blacked out. Am I wrong? PTR Edited December 1, 2013 by PromoTheRobot
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 You're wrong PTR. 80,002 tickets would be sold... ALL to private seat holders... AND the Bills would be making a run for wrapping up the AFCEast and home-field throughout the playoffs!
nucci Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 There would be 55,000 tickets sold and the game would be blacked out. Am I wrong? PTR So, the Bills would also be playing a pivotal game with their season on the line in front of home fans. There would be about 65,000 in the stands. Not sure of your point. This game should be in RWS and I am one of those who doesn't believe the Bills need this to survive.

This game should be in RWS and I am one of those who doesn't believe the Bills need this to survive. 1) While we are all hopeful, to call this game "pivotal" is a bit of stretch. 2) NFC games at RWS historically sell badly no matter what time of year. The combo of being Dec, being 4-7 and playing a dull NFC team is a triple whammy. My point is just that for all the complaining about the game being in Toronto, many Bills fans wouldn't have gone anyway. PTR

I may have exaggerated a bit but it is important.
CardinalScotts Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 we would have a great chance of winning instead it's a dome team IN A DOME. Again in my mind unfair schedule against the Bills - first the teams off byes, then off the Thursday game (as is ATL on our bye) then one more punch- Atlanta in cold weather in December nah stick them in the dome.
BuffaloBrad Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 The best way to end the Toronto games is to sell out the games in Buffalo, including suites and club seats.
Tintonfallsbillsfan Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Game would be sold out , the good feelings from the Jet rout and the prosopects of getting into a playoff race , not to mention probable a big victory makes it a very interesting game. Bills are bascially playing playoff games until they lose. 9-7 gets them in, they will be favored, fovorite or pickup the next 4 weeks. Btw the game at the Ralph is 27-10 up there it will be a closer Edited December 1, 2013 by Tintonfallsbillsfan

If it was the 1990 Buffalo Bills out there then we would have no problem selling seats. Even when the Trent Edwards Bills went on a bit of a run ticket sales were through the roof. We haven't been good in almost 15 yrs. maybe that's why we can't sell seats in Dec

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 I agree likely would not have sold out. Many people either traveling or busy kicking company out the door, cold weather, uninteresting opponent, and still a long shot at the playoffs. They only became a team even mentioned in the "playoff race" in past two weeks, not enough time to sell the tickets.
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Make the team relevant again by getting W's and games in B-lo will sell out. Yep! Just as I mentioned above! Were you in Chicago before the 'Hawks started winning? You didn't see one jersey or decal! I was being cold called to the organization to buy season tickets! Dumbest financial thing I ever made... I would have flipped those ticket for every single game@ more than 3 times the face value! People are flying to Nashville to see the Blackhawks play... And it is cheaper than staying home!
Webster Guy Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 No doubt it would have been close, like the KC game. It likely would have been sold out by gametime but maybe not by the deadline, as the weather today is pretty nice for a game in Orchard Park.

I'd imagine that a lot of the Buffalo diaspora would have extended their trip home for an extra day to go to the game.
