It's also not a good representation of average ticket prices. He's buying first row seats on the 40 yard line. Those will always cost and arm and a leg in any stadium.

 

 

I’ve come to the conclusion that 10k for a weekend in Buffalo just doesn’t have the ROI to make it worthwhile.

Yes, that’s a bit expensive.

 

Though sometimes I do things for fun & entertainment and ROI never enters into the equation.

Me too, but they never include my wife and kids.

Just got texted yesterday that I'll get the email in the morning to schedule my appointment. Since I'm in CA and I'm not going to the Titans game, I won't be in Buffalo until the Fish game. I was planning on scheduling for the day after the game. My agent said I shouldn't wait and should do a remote appointment as they have 30 appointments per day. Any opinions from those that have had either? I'm leaning towards waiting for the in person experience. I kind of doubt I'll end up getting seats in the new stadium anyway.  I have great seats now,  section 132 row 35. From what I've been reading here those will be club seats in the new stadium, if I were to keep seasons, I probably would move back to maybe the 300 level.

Having been through it, I’ll just say it was nice walking through the experience but it would be totally fine to do it remotely. I don’t think there’s really any specific advantage to physically being at the experience. It’s was cool to see the large stadium model, but it’s not like that really helped much. I’d do it remotely and not wait all that time if you don’t have to.

If your pretty sure your not getting seats in the new stadium anyway, why not just wait and actually see it in person? You can always turn down the offer then vs remotely.

8k most likely. Maybe 6-7

I agree with @Rubes. 
 

The equivalent seats on one side of the field are clubs but not the other (as I understand it). There should be some solid options.

[TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th]

I've been a season ticket holder for 6 years. They just brought me in for the "experience ". They want $9,000 per PSL for the equivalent of my 100 level seats. 

 

No way I'm paying that. I make $85,000/yr and support a family of 5. I can't justify $18,000 for two PSLs and then season ticket prices which will probably be $2,500-$3,000 each year. I'm going to miss the days of getting good season tickets for $120/ game. 

 

I am going to be letting my season tickets go. Opens up a spot for someone else though! Here's to enjoying one last season at the old stadium .

[Rocbillsfan1]

What’s the deal with the PSL? How long is that for and what happens if you don’t want season tickets after a couple of years?

I didn’t know there was a $9k PSL tier… interesting

Good for 30 years.

If you decide to stop getting season tickets, you can try to resell your PSL on their secondary market site.  If you just don't renew your seasons and don't try to sell your PSL, then they just revert ownership back to the Bills for them to resell

[Rocbillsfan1]

Haha that is so laughably absurd. Thanks for the 9k per PSL and now we will just sell it again. 
 

guessing people will get gauged on the secondary market trying to sell their PSL. Idk how they think this is going to fly after getting tax payer money to build this stadium. 

[LabattBlue]

Are seats in the new stadium still only being offered in the “club” sections?

They're selling all this at an absolute high point right now.

 

Imagine if we were in the days of EJ Manuel and they were asking for $9K for the right to buy your seat?  Through the drought, lawless keg parties and cheap tickets sustained our attendance.  

 

 

Its a good thing for the Bills though.  I would rather they make decent money to stay competitive and have a nice facility than move.  

 

 

As far as my tickets, still waiting to see what the 'ask' is.  We currently have the cheapest tickets in the stadium right now.

for sure.  Especially when the Bills inevitably hit a rough patch again.

I think that they believe it will look like the countless other stadium projects funded the same way…

Mind sharing what section you’re in now? I’m in 109 and just trying to get a gauge on what they’re going to hit me for.

nope they’re on to the “regular” sections now, folks are snagging tix above the visitors’ sideline (the equivalent of Section 110-113 at the current Highmark).
