Season Tickets going up 12%

[spartan19]

I just read that seasons are going up an average of 12% next year.  With us losing a game to England that seems to be a lot.  Still amongst the cheapest tickets in the league, but just wait.

The Bills have done this before during the ill-fated Toronto series. In years where there was one-fewer home game, they raised the per-ticket price, but what you paid for the package stayed the same from the previous year. Then the following year you package price would go up but the per-ticket price stayed the same.

Don't forget with 17 games, year to year we will be going back and forth between 8 and 9 regular season home games (ignoring games at neutral sites). So, we'll have 8 regular season home games next year and 8 again the year after. The 2025 season will then have 9 games if we don't have any neutral site games.

 

One thing I've noticed that seems quite weird is the cost of each individual game ticket from the season ticket package. It wasn't obvious anywhere except if you pull up each game individual ticket from your account. There is a number on it without a dollar sign. For my seats, it was either 75.5 (preseason games), 142 (Vikings, Jets, Dolphins, Patriots), or 164 (Titans, Steelers, Packers, Browns). I wasn't even positive that they were the prices since it would be so easy for all regular season games to have been $153. But, it was confirmed to be the face value when I was credited $164/ticket for the Browns game.

Losing a game to New England? Is that the London opponent?

No, I just used England instead of London.

The Bills employ dynamic pricing for individual game tickets. Some games cost more because of anticipated demand.

[T master]

But they added a game to the season so it's added revenue but they will really stay the same plus i think the prices will continue to go up given the fact the new stadium is coming plus other factors that we have little control over ...

[Gregg]

Wait until the new stadium. Prices going up big time and that doesn't include those wonderful PSL's fees.

[Einstein]

Wow.

 

That means ticket prices have gone up over 30% over the last 3 seasons.

Gotta make sure you pay for the Pegulas share of the stadium as well as the taxpayers share too. Yachts don't build themselves.

and Josh Allen is 300% better than anyone we had prior. Season tix sold out early last year and they no longer allow people east of Syracuse to purchase season tickets. The demand is there.

With respect to our fans east of Syracuse it is actually good that there is enough market that they can cap seasons to the local region. I 100% get your frustration if you were a fan getting seasons out of the region, but in terms of viability that is a really healthy sign.

I agree it's a healthy sign for the franchise and the community.

Amen!  Is anyone here stupid enough to think Terry Pegula is going to spend a nickel of his $5 billion net worth on that stadium? 

 

You folks are!

You realize the state's revenue also goes up with price increases, your tickets, parking, concession & merchandise sales aren’t tax fee

Anything to milk the little guy out of more money to pay for yachts and country club membership.

 

 

[Back2Buff]

They should go up to the point where the wait list is gone and people stop buying them just to resale for a profit.  

 

How can I take people seriously about prices being too high, when season ticket holders are making a profit on selling the games.  Clearly the season ticket prices aren't high enough.
