It seems like there are an awful lot of tickets available for the game. What seems to be the issue, weather, cost. Objectively one could  scoff at the idea

That Bills fans are the greatest in the NFL.

All the people that want a dome are selling their tickets in protest. 🤣

 

There are few original tickets available; there’s tons of resale available. It’s going to be brutally cold and a night game. Plus all the Canadian ticket holders are pretty much shut out from attending.

I was going to get tickets today despite all the BS I’d have to deal with crossing the border.  $225 for a same day PCR to get back into Canada, insane hotel prices, crap weather…wasn’t going to stop me.  Then my Bills buddy I was going with had to back out because he tested positive.

 

Just so many roadblocks to getting to the game, it sucks.  So bummed right now.

You would think Saturday night would be an easy time to make.  Even if people needed to travel and spend the night there would be no need to take time off of work.  

 

I heard -3 with the wind chill, but would not figure that would scare Bills fans off...

Yeah, I get tested regularly, and I wouldn’t want to make any purchase to a future event right now. I’m not wanting to go down the road of that world event, but I’m just saying there’s many factors that will hurt attendance right now. Fans are back in the stadium, but there’s still plenty of potential hurdles to attending a game.

Why?

1) Weather.

2) Tough for Canadians to attend.

3) Pats fans won't travel because they know they are losing.

Wait till game day. Tickets will probably be $5.

And 60,000 season ticket holders all had their Tix auto buy for the playoffs?

People had a choice to do that or not. Obviously most opted in. I was worried what's happening now was going to happen if the Chargers were the opponent. What few fans they have are too far away. Never expected Pats Nation to lose faith so quickly.

I think #1 is explanation enough.

 

We went so far as to grab a room at the Red Carpet Inn just to have a place to warm up while we tailgate.

Let's be real attendance is being hurt by a few factors

 

Resale tickets could only be bought by fully vaccinated people.. I know a lot of bills fans and a lot of season ticket holders who aren't going to games because they're not fully vaccinated

 

And the fact that they're reselling means they were already bought from the Buffalo Bills

My guess, many variables are in play- perhaps here is a few:

 

- COVID hurdles

- Weather

- Inflation/economy 

 

Folks, in my opinion, may be faced with either putting food on the table or go to the game during frigid temperatures and a recent surge in COVID (Omicron).

It’s probably too cold for Pats fans as well. Northeastern folks are nothing like Midwesterners when it comes to this stuff.
