Why so many tickets left?

The vaccination mandate for the bills came right before the season started 

 

Basically all season ticket holders were already paid in full without knowing that 

 

Because the last message from the state was you would not need it

 

I know a decent amount of unvaccinated season ticket holders who haven't gone

 

But that was all before playoff tickets went on sale.  So they already knew this before buying playoff tickets.

I'm not really talking playoff tickets.. if they haven't gone all season they're obviously not buying playoff tickets 

 

I don't know any unvaccinated people that have bought them.. but there's definitely some unvaccinated people that would buy them if they could

This whole thread is about this weeks playoff game man.

I don't understand this. It could be an historical game. Just put on all the clothes you own and get to the stadium.

I get that 

 

My point was that only people that could buy tickets are vaccinated people... If unvaccinated people could buy tickets maybe there isn't as many tickets for sale on the market because they would be bought 

 

There's a good segment of Bills fans that are left out of the market

Or they bought the tickets assuming they could sell them at a higher price.  How's that working out for them?

Weather, unvaccinated , test for Canadians to get back home.

I remember in the early 1990's being at a Bills - Jets game where the wind chill was -30 the actual temp was around zero. I know I certainly could not do that again.

What was amazing is in the packed stadium it did not seem that cold, and no, I don't drink so it could not have been alcohol keeping me warm. Everytime there was a good play everyone was jumping and cheering, probably to keep warm.

I was there....not sure I can handle that now that I'm older

For me not attending Saturday with my 2 younger girls it's due to the weather. They both want to go bad, as a father I can't do it unfortunately.

$500 for that hole?

A little less, but yeah. And when you split it 10 ways to have a heated bathroom and the ability to watch the 4:00 game, and 1 free parking spot, 40 bucks a head doesn't seem like a bad deal.

A lot of that I suspect.

 

Canadians notwithstanding, people citing vax as a reason are being a little silly. It's been in place all year and we've basically had a full house.

Great respect for the incredible fans that helps us win games. These stalwarts will show up in all conditions. They deserve the praise the national media heaps on them as the best fan base in sprts.

That club seat price is crazy. The only advantage is being able to go into the club when you get cold.  You won't be under cover and the heaters don't reach that far down the section. 

Club pricing is to keep out the riff raff. Businesses taking/sending clients to games don’t want some idiot puking on or starting a fight with them.

This is always fun to do. Where’s @Canadian Bills Fan? He should ban you for this  

[george c]

I’m 63.

I’ve got money to spend on premium seats and would buy again in a second. We’re the group most affected by weather. Not because we’re older and maybe frail, but because the cold sucks. 

Dome? I would buy 4 tickets again and be at every game..

Open air? No chance.

So the amount of tickets available is more secondary market and its people who thought they could profit off selling extra tickets. I have two buddies who besides their seats bought two extra tickets for the playoffs with the idea of making money. Well the market is over saturated at this point as a night game in the brutal cold against the Pats isn't as appealing as they thought.

I don't doubt come came time itll be rocking and sold out but the profiteer's guessed poorly on this one.

Same here. I was at that frigid AFCC against the Raiders (51-3) and several other brutally cold games. But I'm at the age where doing this is difficult if not dangerous.

 

That said me and my buddy are making the drive from NH and Mass Saturday and taking some extreme measures to survive sitting on an aluminum bench or standing on warmth-sucking concrete for 4+ hours.

 

And yes, I want a dome!! Watching games in these conditions is BS.

But before November all of this was moot as you were not even allowed in at all....yet the Bills were getting excellent attendance numbers with no Canadians.

 

Therefore, it's the weather, not the border. 

Of course.  Ticket demand in Sept, Oct, Nov is much higher than Dec and now Jan, always has been.  I get multiple people asking if I have spare tickets in the warmer time of the year, no one ever asks me for a December game.

Driving through the purple portion of winter storm Izzy’s forecast that is most of what’s keeping me away. It’s a 10 hour trip in good weather. 

 

I’d take a calculated risk for a good deal. Unfortunately by the time scalpers get nervous and start slashing their prices, it’s too late to ship out.
