TonyBeets Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 I did not see this in any thread, so I thought I would share this if you have not read it. Pretty funny!!!! http://billswire.usatoday.com/2018/01/04/buffalo-bills-jaguars-playoff-tickets-twitter/ 1
ddaryl Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Quote Vivid Seats, an online ticket outlet, reported that 20 percent of the tickets it sold for Sunday went to customers with New York state ZIP codes. SO if 20% were just a total from vivd seats and there are plenty of Bills fans that went direct or had other connections via stub hub etc... .. and many Bills fans wil be coming from non NY zip codes.. It looks like its going to be at least 30% Bills fans there Edited January 5, 2018 by ddaryl

I dont think that would include tickets that went to the season ticket holders. 30% would be nice but likely that that high

I'm stil thinking close to 30% but yeah that may be high.. we shall see I voted 30% on the other thread 1

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 It's been talked about , but no foul at most the mods will merge it

IDBillzFan Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Here's how Timmah Graham reports on it, because there ain't no party like a Tim Graham hates Buffalo Fan party. Tim GrahamVerified account @ByTimGraham FollowingFollowing @ByTimGraham More Tim Graham Retweeted Buffalo Bills While this is a sick burn, the Bills haven’t hosted a playoff game since December 1996 and couldn’t sell out some playoff games during their Super Bowl years. The Comeback, which turned 25 years old this week, was blacked out on local TV. Edited January 5, 2018 by LABillzFan
ddaryl Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Here is a fun jax thread to puruse https://www.duvalpride.com/showthread.php?tid=26343 I have pictures of the Monday Night Game in Seattle last year. there were Bills fans everywhere... The Pyramid Brewery across the street was 95% Bills fans Its going to be interesting to see for sure

It looks like its going to be at least 30% Bills fans there That doesn't mean 20% of the stadium. Let's say the total inventory being sold by these sites is 40% of the stadium (high estimate imo) and 20% of those went to Bills fans, we're talking 8% of a 69,000 seat stadium. Now if Bills fans are coming in droves and hit 50% or more of those aftermarket tickets (which it sounds like they may be) we're at 20% or more. 1

There’s a ton of Bills fans who no longer live in the state who are willing to pay the big bucks to travel down for this game.

Would love to make a trip from STL but can't swing it with such short notice.
shrader Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Why did they even bother responding? That wasn't a shot at the Bills. All they did was list all of the possible sources of returned tickets.
