Simon Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 This will be the 4th time we've tried to have a thread like this; in every other instance it ended up closed because certain posters had to go political or people had to start telling us about their COVID theories, etc. This will be the last try at it because I'm tired of babysitting, cleaning up, and dishing out suspensions so the onus is on you folks. I hope the 5th time's a charm. 4 1 1
Taro Nimbus Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 One could hope! Even if we can get 5,000 fans, it will be electric! 1
Greg S Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Lets say they allow 10,000 people in. How do they decide who gets tickets. I am assuming season ticket holders with the most seniority.
gordong Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I say full capacity but you have to stay at the stadium for 3 weeks after to make sure your free of covid.... just a thought! 3 3 2 1

I am assuming season ticket holders with the most seniority. If you kept money already paid for season tickets in your account for next year instead of taking the refund you get “first crack” I believe. Depending on how many did that and how many would be allowed, I’d guess it would go on seniority from there.

I am assuming season ticket holders with the most seniority. I’m wondering if resale will be allowed. My uncle has been a STH since ‘82, but I’m almost positive he won’t have an extra (my cousin will want to go with him). I’d pay a tidy sum to get into the stadium for this one. On WGR the other day they were talking about the no fans situation and I think it was Sal Capaccio who downplayed it saying basically “oh the Bills are going to be good for a while, the stadium will be hopping next season”. I had to cringe at that for a couple reasons, one being that if this year has taught us anything, it’s that the future is never guaranteed. Plus another reason which I won’t get into here. 1

A few years back didn't the Bills have 60,000 season ticket holders and they capped it off there so they could sell the rest as individual tickets. I would imagine the Bills will probably have the same demand next year. They are going to be a hot ticket especially if they go on a playoff run. 1
dma0034 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I can only wonder how much those tickets would go for lol
Fallsnative01 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Whatever it takes to get fans into the stadium, I'd love to see it happen. Having any number of BillsMafia representing the rest of us is better than none at all. 1
TheFunPolice Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) I think it's going to happen, since the governor keeps talking about it. Otherwise he would have shut talk of it down right away. Why get people's hopes up otherwise? Biggest question mark is what the numbers look like by then. I would think being outside in January people are going to be all bundled up so it should be fairly safe. Edited December 22, 2020 by TheFunPolice
Moulds 808080 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 How much would you all pay a ticket? As for me it would be $500.00 a ticket!! 1
Solomon Grundy Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Hopefully the airport visit didn't hurt things. Opposing teams won't have a chance if fans are in the building

It's about dangling the same carrot he has been dangling since May to try to get through to WNYers and get them to take the personal responsibility for bringing numbers down in the area. If WNYers get the numbers down, they can go to the Bills games. Pretty simple. It hasnt worked yet tho, and doesnt look like it will, unfortunately. 2 1
PirateHookerMD Posted December 22, 2020 Author Posted December 22, 2020 Even 10k fans in the stadium I think would make a huge difference. Really hoping they can work something out here.

Not to mention the psychological benefits to people who live in WNY 1
