scribo Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 And there was fear eliminating blackouts would negatively impact smaller market teams.
Gordio Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 This reminds me of 2008 when we started the year 4-0 with Trent Edwards. I think I paid like $200 per ticket to sit in the end zone for the Raiders game. People were going nuts that year. By the end of the year they couldn't even give the tickets away for free. Not that that's how this year will go but it reminds me of how people like to jump on the bandwagon when the team is doing well. I remember that year too. Started out 4-0. My friend came up to the tailgate for the San Diego game without a ticket. Just wanted a single seat & couldn't find one for under $200. Ended up watching it at the Big Tree. With that being said though, that team was winning with smoke & mirrors & had nowhere near the talent level that this roster has.
BillsPride12 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I will have a couple games come up for sale section 132 row 1.... its actually row 3, but the first two rows are tarped When the time comes feel free to private message me...Please and thanks
Codyny13 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I still have my seats in 120...I thought by this time last year I was contacted to upgrade. Has anyone got the upgrade notice or are they just waiting bc tickets are flying off the shelves?

Has anyone got the upgrade notice or are they just waiting bc tickets are flying off the shelves? Relocation starts around the beginning of May I believe. You will receive a letter with a date and time that you can call in and see what available. I have an idea that there will be minimal opportunity to improve seating location in the 100 level
CodeMonkey Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 So Terry is buying up all the tickets to scalp them? I wouldn't be surprised if scalpers are buying up as many as they can though this season!
PromoTheRobot Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if scalpers are buying up as many as they can though this season! I look forward to the complaints that some guys kid is crying because he can't see his favorite team in person because the scalpers bought all the tickets.
May Day 10 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 this is exactly how it is done and why Russ' Toronto explanation of our market being "tapped"/wah December games never held water. The slightest success/excitement along with current low pricing is going to create a perception of perpetual sellouts and demand. One home playoff game (if not sooner) and they will need to cap season tickets and we will see a waiting list.Then they will be able to shimmy the prices higher and higher while not eroding the tickets sold numbers.

All we needed was a multi-billionaire owner to outspend the entire NFL. Easy-peasy!
mattsox Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Terry knows that you have to spend money to make money. That is true to an extent. It's best to keep your top talent and replenish via the draft. Usually spending on a QB is going to keep you competitive for years to come. Unfortunately, there is no franchise QB the Bills can just go out and buy. Hopefully one of the 3 guys on the team will atleast put us in contention for a playoff birth. That isn't asking much right?
Fan in San Diego Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Not JK, but I'm in Van Miller across the way, which is similar. So do you like it? Is it worth the money?
BuffaloBrad Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 This will be my eighth year with seats in the Maguire club. While there are some downsides to club seats, the benefits make it worth it to me. The biggest downside is the location of the club seats. Most of the seats are between the endzone and the 20, not the most desirable areas. To sit between the 20's can get pretty expensive. In addition, If your seats are in the first six or so rows, you really won't get much benefit from the radiant heat. As for the benefits, you get a full bar and much better concessions with minimal waits. The bathroom situation is much better, cleaner and shorter lines. At the risk of TMI, I've been able to make a bathroom trip in the space of a change of possession. My seats are under the overhang, so I'm protected from the elements. The overhead radiant heaters work really well. There's an annual draft party for club seat and suit holders. I've also received stadium tours and pre-game on-field passes. Next week, I'm going to a Rex Ryan event at the stadium, which I assume is for club seat holders. If I already had good seats, I might not rush to upgrade club seats, but if you are not giving up great seats and can afford the clubs, I say go for it.
PromoTheRobot Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Those radiant heaters are unreal. Two seasons ago when they let the rifraff sit in the unsold club seats for the Miami game season finale my buddy and I were in our t-shirts and it was 17 degrees outside.
