Well, I can tell you that I am someone who would go, but cannot.  I am surely not alone.  You come across as wanting to explain it away because you favor mandates, but it sounds more desperate coming from you as we sit here staring at rock bottom ticket prices, while you ignore one of the two groups of Bills fans (Unvaxxed/Canadians) that are essentially banned from attending.

Get a dome

 

Honestly I hope the stands are half empty to justify the need for a dome. Especially if they add another game on.

That's the spirit!  Lets hope support lags for a playoff game for something that will never happen!  Go Bills!

The game isn't "half-empty" from a lack of team sales. The Bills have only a few hundred seats left, which probably won't sell because you can get tickets on the resale market for...(checking Ticketmaster)...starting at $29. I do think you'll see pockets of unused seats from unsold broker tickets to people deciding last-minute they do not want to out in 0-degree weather at night.

Because its gonna be Cold AF. That being said, my family is coming from Connecticut to watch the Bills win.

Not really actually b.c they never had a problem before the cold weather came in. Good try though, still failed.

Dude there were 69,000 people at the Patriots game in terrible weather .. people were willing to stick it out in that

 

The bills sold most of the tickets.. it's the resale tickets which are struggling

 

Guess what there's only one segment of the population that could buy resale tickets vaccinated people.. it's a fact that if unvaccinated people could buy tickets there would be more sold 

 

Not every Bills fan is vaccinated 

 

The 50,000 season ticket holders were going to the games in September and October and November for the most part..  now lots are selling them somebody has to buy them on the secondary market.. and only vaccinated people can 

 

If everybody could buy them more would be sold quicker

You won’t get vaxed so you can attend this game?  What kind of fan are you?

Does anybody know if season ticket holders will be able to use their plastic card to get into the stadium instead of having to pull up an electronic ticket?  I do worry about phone issues with the crazy temps.  I would assume that if you are just using your season ticket seats this would be ok??

 

I didn't get plastic cards this year.  Didn't know they still issued those.

 

I started buying season tickets when I lived in TX, to help keep the Bills here.  Now that I'm in PA, I sure as heck am going, and I would still go even if it was predicted to be -20.

 

I know it's politically correct to say that fans are fans even if your commitment ends at your couch.  Sorry but I can't agree with that.  Of course not everyone can go for various reasons, but I for one am embarrassed that WEEI Boston is laughing at our ticket availability. 

 

Edit for those watching on TV:  Po's not talking about YOU!

Then that would have been the case all season.  It has not been.

The one point that's missing, is we're talking about reselling tickets

 

Not tickets bought from the bills...  

 

These are secondary tickets that have already been bought... And there's only one people that could buy them vaccinated people

 

If unvaccinated people could buy them more would be sold guaranteed.. because there are unvaccinated people that want to go 

 

There weren't a lot of tickets on resale in October because the majority of the 50,000 season ticket holders were going to the games.. now that there's thousands selling them somebody has to buy them

 

And only vaccinated people can

Actually I'm coming up pretty dry for availability so far.  The parking is ok, there are several private lots that'll take us, but I'm not finding any RVs under 50' that will rent for less than 3 days.  

Only if it comes with an RV rental   

You check RV Share or Outdoorsy?

Actually, this posts reminds me that for the Bills preseason game vs. Packers on 8/28 it was 91F which I remember hearing was their hottest home game on record.  Our seats were in the shade but those in the direct sun were suffering and that side of the stadium soon cleared out.  Some were taken out on stretchers.  I said to those around me that we should remember this day come December when we are here all bundled up and trying to get through the game.

Yes, i haven't used a mobile ticket all year. Just my season ticket card. its a good thing, cause my 3 year old phone died prior to going to the MNF game. I have a new phone now. Make sure your phone is charged prior to leaving your house.

Folks writing "Get a dome" at this forum is not going to have any impact whatsoever on reality....or us actually getting a dome.

 

It just comes across as highly annoying whining and complaining, and is wasted energy.

 

How about coming up with a new battle cry?  

 

How about calling for a return to the standing bison on our helmets for all games, or something that might actually happen?

How about the blue over white throwbacks as a change of pace to the all white throwbacks. Both are great looks BTW.

That may be true but those of us who don't agree are still going to make a stink about it.

All I know is thank god for Kathy Hochul telling all us Bills fans how much we love freezing our arses off to watch football and that we want to continue doing this forever...

 

Even our QB says he hates this ***** but let's keep it open air for all the old farts who say "that's how the game is meant to be played" even though they themselves are entirely to old to tolerate what's coming Saturday Night.
