Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 So, I was looking at coming up for a game - specifically the Dolphins game on October 20th. I was looking at tickets online and found some great tickets - Section 213, Row 1!! I've never sat in the Club level and I was going to take my mom, since she never gets to go to a game. I was on VividSeats.com and ready to make my purchase, but the additional "service fee" was $65/ticket!! On general principle only, I just couldn't do it! The price of the ticket was already higher than I wanted to spend ($273/ticket), but to add another $130 is just BS. That said, is there any online vendor that doesn't charge such outrageous services fees? Looking for some good advice. Thanks!!
billsherd Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 I have heard here Gametime is a good app/site. I have never used them I always go to Ticketmaster or Stub hub. They both also charge steep services fees.
Augie Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 I have not found a great option. I do it so rarely I usually just hold my nose and pull the trigger. I feel like an idiot for doing it, however. I think @plenzmd1 went thru the Titans directly and paid like $5 in fees total to purchase a boatload of tickets. I’m telling myself I saved enough there to mostly pay for our tix to a Pred’s game Saturday night. I have a Masters in Justification. 1
Albany,n.y. Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 The Bills sell some of the club seats at face value + fees. I paid $327.40 for a $292 ticket to the Eagles game-total fees $35.40 from Ticketmaster. The tickets left in the club for Miami are listed for $286 before fees on the Bills website, so the maximum would be a little over $320/ticket. https://www1.ticketmaster.com/event/0000566BD8277523?brand=bills&artistid=805905&landing=s&camefrom=CFC_BILLS_BBC_PIP

Estro Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Tickpick.com doesnt charge a buyer fee. Or you can buy mine from me. Section 134, row 44. No add on fees if you buy from season ticket holders. Im sick of the fees these ticket companies get away with charging too.....thats why im trying to sell the games im not going to via craigslist. The 50% stubhub fees have become absurd.

Nick the Greek Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 $65 in service fees seems high. Maybe try stubhub? They do charge service fees but maybe not as much.

US Egg Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Bought 2 pair of Kelly Club seats at Bills store, only $2 handling per, each $300 ticket. If you know someone in Buffalo who can go there to buy them for you, you'd save big. Edited October 4, 2019 by I am the egg man
wvbillsfan Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Service fees are usually around 20 percent of purchase price. If you create and an account and go through the checkout process without completing the purchase vivid will send you a 10 percent off link to complete the purchase.
ohboychoboy Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I sold my 3 season tix seats to the New England game in Sec 134 on Stubhub last week. The price was listed at $302 per, and after Stubhub's take I netted $256. So that's $46 they took from me, the seller. The buyer on the other hand paid $63 in service charges, bringing his total to $365 per. So Stubhub made $109 PER TICKET!!! Nice gig if you can get it. 1
badassgixxer05 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Ticket prices are crazy right now. Pegula is raping the ***** out of us at face value..

Truth is Buffalo is still one of the lowest. So, bring a wheelbarrow full of cash then boycott the concession stand, those prices are laughable
El Guapo Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I bought my tickets to the Titans - Bills game through eBay. They were transferred through the Titans app. The offer the seller accepted was the total I paid. No hidden fees.

BTW, one thing i did forget to mention..always check the Bills Ticketmaster site first, and if buying clubs especially call the Bills ticket office!!!!! On Ticketmaster, there is an option to only see tickets sold directly through the Bills...so you uncheck Verified Resale Tickets...and you will get a seat map with blue dots over the seats available directly the Bills. Now, at least on my laptop, that app is slower than Okposso, so as i said, i would call the Bills direct
