PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion

[QCity]

Only 11k sold in the first year.

 

They have a little over a year to sell the remaining 47k.

 

 

That 11,000 figure is from December and is mostly the high-priced club seats. It's being reported today that the pace has improved substantially for the cheaper PSL's and half the lower bowl is already sold.

 

"The Bills have said they sold out their club seat inventory, with PSL prices ranging from $8,000 to $50,000, and have now sold over half of their inventory in the lower level, which aligns with the team’s expected timing, according to Pete Guelli, Bills executive vice president and chief operating officer."

 

If you're rooting for this PSL thing to blow up in Terry's face you are going to be disappointed. They are going to sellout on time.

In no way trying to post political musings in the wrong forum. But there will be an impact to on seat/PSL sales due to the trade war.

Maybe that was the plan all along?

That’s what it is now. The Bills don’t care about people reselling seats. They haven’t in at least the 25 years that I’ve had them.

Its how it was around the league til recently. Teams seem to be cracking down big on re sellers now.   Look at the Lions who revoked a fans ticket for selling most of his tickets. I can them cracking down on those who sell more than half of their tickets

One thing I can honestly say...I know a ton of people who said they were not going to pull the trigger on getting season tickets in the new stadium that are caving and signing on the dotted line

If I was in a better place financially right now I would probably be in the same boat...but the financials pretty much made it an open and shut case for me

[Just Jack]

My rep emailed me today, because I refused club seats in the new stadium, and she wants me to consider non club seats in the lower bowl.  But she also mentioned this...

Over the next few weeks, we will continue to have meetings at the Stadium Experience filling available seats. At the end of the month, we will begin meeting with members in the upper level, at which point they will be eligible to purchase any remaining lower level seats.

The Buffalo Sabres are a big part of the reason I'm heming and hawing over getting PSL's.

 

@Richard Noggin points about subsidizing a billionaire is another big reason.

 

You're gonna let the Sabres spoil your enjoyment of the Bills?

They won’t care as long as they get their cut. 

 

Everyone gets the vapors over season ticket holders selling tickets when teams are good. But how often do the same season ticket holders eat those tickets when the team blows?

That and consumer confidence in general going forward.

Considering how much he relies on Canadians to buy tickets for both teams? Probably not.

My question is will they go to the 300's before the non-club 200's? And what about seniority? Does that matter at all? Is someone who only got their seats recently going to be given a chance before folks with 20+ years?

The "trade war" is going to last all of 2 weeks before there are deals done.

That's the rumor, 300's closest to the 50-yard line first, since those people are paying more currently than the ones in the end zone 200's.  Seniority does not matter, just seat location.  

[Jrb1979]

I'm surprised they are selling as well as they are. Back when it first was announced there was a lot of backlash and many who weren't going to pay the PSL.

Couple that with the last figure released showed nearly 1/2 of people declining the offer, its taking a realllllyyy long time.

I've declined the offer twice now and I'll be declining offer number 3.  The system they are using does not let me just buy the seat I want at the price I am willing to pay, so they have to keep reaching out to me over and over until they get to what I want, and this takes time.

Yeah, that’s well behind pace. They’re no where near where they need to be.

 

Even if they sold 3,000 seats per month (which is 3x their current rate) after the December number, they would still only be at 20k seats sold with nearly 40k to go.

The stadium will sell out eventually.

If it is to sell-out in time, then they need to hurry up the pace. By a lot.

I am sure there was much more time spent with an individual being pitched club seats, versus time spent for regular seating pitch.  I believe the number of people passing through that experience daily, will increase a LOT now that club seating is done.  

[Rocbillsfan1]

They are way behind. We were told that we’d be contacted in 01/25 and they don’t appear to be anywhere close. Annoying that they don’t take seniority under consideration. We have the cheapest tickets in the family section.

You guys enjoy.  I've officially been priced out of seasons.  It sucks, but my couch is comfortable and it's not worth it
