When is this blowhard going to get to the Bills?

So is the test 3 days prior the only one? So hypothetically a fan can get the test and then go do whatever for 3 days and get Covid and he’ll be fine to be let in?

[Sundancer]

I let them hold my money/opt in but I'm only a year 3 ticket holder so I'm guessing I've got no chance and that makes me happy.

 

EACH PERSON MAKE THE NOISE OF 10!!!

Only STH and no secondary market, so no opposing fans. Unless a STH brings one maybe.

Does anyone know if other teams have followed this basic process?  Seems like games I've seen on TV that allowed fans have included opposing fans 

[junior]

Has anyone received an email w/instructions from the Bills yet? 

 

The FAQ page says the following...

 

• Quote

   

  • Based on seniority, Non-Club Season Ticket Members will receive an email from the Buffalo Bills with a set time to go online and select tickets on Thursday, December 31, 2020 or Friday, January 1, 2021.

   

 

Does that mean we'll be sent an email on Thursday, Dec. 31st or Friday, Jan. 1st telling us when we can select tickets, OR

Does that mean we'll be sent an email at some point and be able to purchase tickets on either Dec. 31st or Jan. 1st?

1. STH who.opted in, will be given priority based on seniority

2. No public sale or secondary market

3. STH who buy for wild card round, are not eligible for division round (if we advance and fans still allowed)

What about eligibility for AFCCG 

[Beast]

I still say they should hold a contest for the tickets.

 

The 6,700 people with the loudest voice are able to attend.

[The Wiz]

So when only 3k fans of the fans that opted into seasons this year accept the tickets what happens with the other 3k since there is no secondary market?

 

(I'm assuming most of our STH are old and don't want to go through the hassle of getting tested to go to a game or expose themselves).

Anyone willing to sell or trade tickets (LV Raiders ticket- come out to Vegas and have some fun) get at me!

13K fans opted in. This isn't a problem lol.

[Wayne Cubed]

Andy Major, Bills VP of Operations, just said in press conference 13,000 fans opted in.

Tickets are non-transferable, so guessing a trade or the secondary market ain't gonna work...

sorry if duplicated 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interesting - they are including $11 charge for parking, assume as another discouragement for parking/tailgating in private lot

 

Also - "Existing suite holders will be directly contacted by their suite representative" - seems like this would be separate from the general sale - so the corporate crowd can be taken care of as well

 

Concessions open - AND NO LINES FOR THE BATHROOM!

13K account holders, each could buy 2-4 tickets. So let's do some math. Say half buy 2 and half 4. That's 39K tickets. Assume we host two games that's 13K tickets available. So around 2/3rds of those account holders will be left out. If by some miracle we host 3 games then half would be able to buy.

 

EDIT: Just heard from Andy Major that the ACTUAL number of tickets for fans will be 6,200. The other 500 or so are for league and team use.

So who gets the chance to buy tickets first? 

 

They said season ticket holders who opted into purchasing tickets earlier this year

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30625221/buffalo-bills-granted-permission-fans-playoff-game-first-crowd-season

 

"Roughly 6,200 tickets will be available for purchase on Thursday to season-ticket holders who opted into purchasing tickets earlier this year. Tickets are not expected to be available to the general public."

 

Also said

"Fans are required to pay for their COVID-19 testing, which will be administered in Lot 4 at Bills Stadium at a "reduced cost" of $63. The cost of the test will be included in the ticket price."
