plenzmd1 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 BTW, especially for @Limeaid , you can absolutely bring ID and print the tickets out at the ticket office right next to Adpro if you lack a mobile phone or are visually impaired! So that's great news
Curt Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I know that these things don't happen frequently but last week my 10 month old LG smartphone died suddenly for no reason. The battery was not low. The phone just crashed just like that. I brought it back to the store and they repaired it. It took them a week. They have no idea why it did that. I had a screenshot of all my mobile tickets for the season. They are now gone. No big deal because we are in July and I have plenty of time to redownload the Apps and save again a screenshot of all my tickets but what am I supposed to do if it happens again on a Sunday morning while I am tailgating before a game? 1

Only downside is it kills scalpers outside the stadium...which sucks. I love to scalp tickets(not bills as i have seasons)...now have to pay for a fee and not quite get the same deal Edited July 18, 2018 by plenzmd1

Its only an issue if you want to sell your tickets. It used to be that you bought season tickets cause you are a fan of the team. Now a lot of season ticket holders seem to go maybe half the games in a season and try to make a profit off the rest of the games. This is the NFL's way of controlling that. 1

As mentioned, you can still get the Bills to print out tickets at the ticket office..but this does sound like you could go down there and have them print out your entire season.

Wow, you clearly didn’t read the OP either. It says, and I quote: “now that we don't get .pdf tickets how are we supposed to sell tickets on stubhub?“ If one doesn’t have PDFs, it would imply one is selling hard copies. But yea, reading comprehension clearly isn’t your strong suit. Keeping trying though.

I share my season ticket account between 4 people. The NFL has made that difficult. It sounds like you are questioning my fandom. As a season ticket ticket holder for 14 years you have no business questioning me or anyone else. 2

In general I know why they are doing this. Its not cause of guys like you. I know Sabres season ticket holders that sell more then half their games to make money. You can blame it on fans like that on why they changed the way tickets are available. 1

Razor15 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 I found out today that if you list your tickets via One Buffalo, StubbHub will not allow you to list those tickets. I tried to list 2 seats to the home opener that I can’t use but have them listed via the Bills. Wouldnt recignize the barcode. But when I entered the barcode of a ticket I will use, it worked fine. Another issue is that One Buffalo and the Bills website are supposed to exchange info as one, but when I tried to edit the price of the first preseason game it asked me to re-enter all my address to have payment by check. Then when I went to confirm it gave me an error. So it is FUBARED. GGRRR. Anyone else having issues?
Virgil Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 I actually like this. If resellers don’t buy the seats, then you won’t need scalpers and you can get them for face value on the site. The only real pain is for season tickets holders. For them, maybe give them a free exemption for 25% of their games. If you are selling more than that to a stranger, why have them?
