For the record, for some time now they have reduced the face value of PS games and Reg S games are priced according to season. This is the 1st year I actually got (a little) more than face for the PSs. Ask your rep for the breakdown, you'll need it since any sale over $600 on TM (or technically by check) gets reported to the IRS. Quote

Partly because of your mentality. What if they lie to me about being Bills fans, and worse, sell the ticket I sold then at cost for a profit? Quote

I actually had that happen to me, couldn't make a game this season. Gave my tickets to an acquaintance for free, just wanted someone I knew have the tickets and enjoy the game. Learned that this guy turned around and sold the tickets I gave to him for free You try to do something nice and some times it makes you look bad Quote

Cheektowaga Chad Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 23 minutes ago, Captain Caveman said: For me - What different package are you referring to? The Bills have either season tickets, or individual game tickets, and you're not getting those to things like the season opener at a reasonable price without season tickets. I live about 3 hours away, and have 2 young kids with lots of weekend activities. I'm ok losing some $ on the games I can't make (and paying full price for preseason games.) I like knowing I can have decent seats at decent prices for the rest of the games and first crack at the playoffs as well. I also understand that part of the bargain is sometimes recouping some of my cost on any desirable games I can't make. 24 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: I'm not upset. I ride the ups and downs every season. But I'm irked when people who aren't season ticket holders think they can dictate how we should use our seats. These are fair responses. And now understand more from the pro re sell perspective I have no problem with re selling generally especially for regular season and even normal playoff games. People and fans would have had ample opportunity and time to buy tickets and plan to buy tickets. So by all means make your money back when the team is good and get what you can Where I think re selling should at least have some restrictions would be a special event like this one coming up Quote

No politician in their right mind is ever gunna get that through. So no worries there. 1 hour ago, Cheektowaga Chad said: Honest question For those saying that re sale shouldn't be an issue, and they should be allowed to re sell because for x number of years their tickets were worthless and lost x number of dollars I have heard this as reasoning why unlimited re sale should be ok, but why are you a season tickets holder upset at "losing" money year after year. Why stay a season tickets holder? As mentioned, I ain’t upset at losing money, so don’t be cranky when I make money. Lots of folks like me and @PromoTheRobotactually bought seasons in the lean years just as a hope it would help keep them around. he lives a a good 6 hour drive away I think, and I am 8 when all is perfect. And yes I am idiot enough to make most games, just not all. That why I have seasons now. 1 1 Quote

Einstein's Dog Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 1 hour ago, GottaRun said: From my ticket rep - "prices will range $120-$750" I'm guessing Atlanta's version of club seats will be the $750 seats? Anyway, for $120 I can at least get in the door and I'll probably look around the $250 price seats as that's what I was going to be paying for Buffalo.... if we beat the Bengals... damn lot of conversation for a game we may not play. There may be a lot of conversation for a game that might not be played but on the other hand it's an event that may happen in 12 days. I'd love to get some friends together and do a road trip (I'm in FL now). Getting an estimate on the ticket price helps with the overall estimate (looks like I could say $400). Quote

Im only at like 15 years and my window is noon. Ill be trying at noon but am quite positive they will be sold out by then. Quote

You think at a maximum of 6 tickets per they will be out by then? I was hopeful of getting some. Quote

I dont think theres any left at noon, I remember during the COVID playoffs they had them tiered by time and we didnt sniff em....obviously that was a smaller number (5,000 per game was it?). And that was only buying your actual number of seats. Quote

And that was only buying your actual number of seats. That was a much smaller number (reduced supply), but it was also in Buffalo (higher demand) If they are selling 35,000 to Buffalo STH, I'm still hopeful there will be something left by the time my number comes around, although I worry what they might cost or how bad they may be.

In '03 there was a real cloud over the future of the team after Ralph. I figured season ticket sales might convince a new owner to stay in Buffalo. 1 Quote

Alright cool, well between the guy you're getting from and yourself if there are any left at noon, please keep me in mind for 1 if that's an option! I'm a Bills lifer from SLC so not STH option for me and doubt there will be anything good once it's "general public". And I'm afraid of what the re-sale prices will be by the time I can get 'em hahah 1 Quote

Tried to buy some additional a couple of years ago and they told me since I sold some (Big Brother watching) they wouldn't sell to me. Also I believe that when they start selling again they are only going to sell to locals. (Which isn't all bad since we don't want any more of those NE area fans getting tickets 😜) It's all business now. Remember the days you could bring in a Qt thermos full of any liquid you wanted, and subs? The Pegulas would have a heart attacK! Quote
