How much money have you spent on Bills in the last decade?

[Spurna]

I've probably spent around $3000 on tickets from Stubhub in that time.

 

How much money have you spent on Bills tickets/season tickets/travel expenses/merchandise/parking/concessions since 2007?

Thousands.

I think that I am on the high end because of the travel part. I put it in the $20K-$50K range and am probably right around the middle of it. If I didn't have a place to stay in Buffalo I'd be even higher. I don't regret any of it though. Bills games are what I love to do. That is what my family loves to do.

at least the saved money buying the jerseys through dhgate instead of nflshop

[Guffalo]

Every game is a road game for me, so each one is a flight, car rental, seasons, hotel, dinners/drinks, tailgating, 10 years? I would estimate around 25K

Absolutely nothing but time.

This. Yeah, I have spent a lot of $$, but this is what I love to do and don't regret any of it. I have a 7 month old boy at home, and can't wait to do this with him when he is a little older.

What does "spent on Bills" mean? Does the money have to go directly to the Bills? Or is it indirect, like travel, etc... Too?

 

Very little gets to the Bills from what I spent... Now other entities, a much different story.

[Jamie Nails]

Live in California. Have had season tickets for the last 10 years. Go to Buffalo 2-3 times a year. Go to 2-3 road games per year. A closet full of retired jerseys on top of it. I'd say I've spent way more than my wife would want me to- don't actually want to tally it up for fear of sticker shock. What can I say, losing is not just a hobby, its my passion.

[YoloinOhio]

Just Sunday Ticket but I think I'd probably buy it regardless of which team I was a fan of...

[plenzmd1]

Between seasons, travelling to Buffalo at least 4 times per year, hotels when there, eating a bunch of tickets for family etc , i would say at least $ 5,000 per year just for home games.

 

I would say conservatively at least another $2K per year to travel to games...but not quite sure how to total that. I mean we spent a buttload in New Orleans, but most of that spend had zero to do with the Bills game.

 

BTW, do lost wagers count?

Go to a few games a year - beers/food at the games... probably a couple thousand

[PastaJoe]

I've been to 4 games in the past decade, mostly to give my son the experience. The continued mediocrity of the team and the increased obnoxious behavior by fans tempered my desire to travel 2 1/2 hours both ways. So about $700.

[K D]

Gave up our seasons in 2000 and go to 1-2 games per year for free with tickets from work. I think I've paid for tickets maybe 3-4 times off Craigslist so the money isn't technically going to the Bills

50 k + season tickets. tolls, Gas, Hotels, Tailgate food, Tailgate needs, dinner, breakfast, away games, buying Bills stuff, 50/50 raffle NFL for Phone, and I am sure much more.

[Formerly Allan in MD]

Not easy to calculate. Perhaps a better question is "How much heartache have you expended on the Bills?" In my and likely others' case, it's since Day 1.

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

I'm in the 1-5K. I live 3 hours away so I usually only go to a game or 2 a year. But , the jerseys , the hoodies, the food, the travel etc. it all adds up.

[Dr.Sack]

Lots of travel, flights, miles, rental cars, hotels, food, apparel, Sunday Ticket. Scary thought I said $1k-$5k but it could easily be $5k-$10k.

[mead107]

Just last 2 years 10 k on season tickets (4 = 2 lower 2 clubs)

[eball]

Ugh. Terrible thread. I don't want to be reminded of how much I've spent.
