YoloinOhio Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 @viccarucci: Expecting word, possibly as soon as today, #Bills have broken 23-year-old record for season-tix sales. Very close to '92 mark of 57,132. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Ironic that now that the blackout rule was lifted we'll start selling out every game. Edited June 4, 2015 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Perfect for a 65,000 seat stadium in downtown.Yep, on that note I heard last week that it is going to be the location where Chef's is. Take it FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Perfect for a 65,000 seat stadium in downtown. Yep...just a bit larger capacity than Lucas Oil, so that makes sense. Yep, on that note I heard last week that it is going to be the location where Chef's is. Take it FWIW. Funny side note: the day you mentioned this originally, one of my best friends texted me to say that Whaley and his kid were having dinner at Chef's!

bigK14094 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 With the blackout lifted, we will be dumping our 4 tickets........the real impact of the new TV rules will be seen next year, not this year. The lifting of the blackout was done after most seaseon ticket holders had purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Yep, on that note I heard last week that it is going to be the location where Chef's is. Take it FWIW. funny story about chefs When I was about 20, I worked for a fire suppression company doing inspections. I was inspecting Chefs. We replace the links that trigger the powder fire suppression. The links are designed to melt at a certain temperature which triggers the powder bottles which puts out the fire. Unfortunatley one of the links got mixed up and i installed a lower temp link. Needless to say when they were cooking in the morning the links triggered. I was fired from that job after that. my fault should of double checked the links but I took it for granted that they were the right ones based on their location in our tool box. A learning experience for me Edited June 4, 2015 by ddaryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lifting of the blackout was done after most seaseon ticket holders had purchased. I would much rather be at the game, the blackout rule definitely won't effect my season ticket status. And I think many feel that way, so you may lose a few hundred at most, but you won't see a significant drop IMO.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Always been interested in the percentage of seasons that are scalpers/brokers. When you look at available tickets on third party sites like stubhub, there are listings of entire rows. My point is, the record might be broken but that its overstated by the change in NYS scalping law since the glory years when I would bet my house that more tickets were owned by actual fans than are today.

The season ticket reps I talked to this year actually mentioned StubHub by name and said buying season tickets saves money over StubHub - they know they're losing money to StubHub. No one wants to go to the November/December games if the team's already out of contention by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience, the number was about 15%. The Bills may be slightly lower than this but it is a decent guide. funny story about chefs When I was about 20, I worked for a fire suppression company doing inspections. I was inspecting Chefs.

YoloinOhio Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Now I want to eat at Chef's, and not in buffalo until next month. :/ Maybe their jarred sauce will have to do. Edited June 4, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustaTimes Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Chef's is overrated and the portions are small. DiTondo's is right down the street and much better: https://www.zomato.com/buffalo/ditondos-tavern-buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yep, on that note I heard last week that it is going to be the location where Chef's is. Take it FWIW. is there anyway they can incorporate Chef's into the design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 is there anyway they can incorporate Chef's into the design? As rumor has it the "new" Chef's will be across the street from the stadium. Chef's is overrated and the portions are small. DiTondo's is right down the street and much better: https://www.zomato.com/buffalo/ditondos-tavern-buffalo DiTondo's is really good too. Chef's spaghetti parm extra crispy is one of my favorite things in the world though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) I love Chef's. Can't beat the home-style feel of Chef's. Personally, when I'm getting home-style Italian, I go to Romeo and Juliet's or Carmine's, but that's more of a convenience thing. Chef's is overrated and the portions are small. DiTondo's is right down the street and much better: https://www.zomato.com/buffalo/ditondos-tavern-buffalo I find Chef's and DiTondo's to be practically identical in every way. JMO though.

judman Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 For out-of-towners like me who go to one game a year, the stubhub seats have gone up in price substantially (as has seatgeek)... Now there's a sign of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
