kasper13 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 "Also as part of the new pricing, select season ticket sections will increase by $1.00 - $4.00 per game. Those sections include lower level sideline seats, upper deck center sections, club/premium sections, tunnel end zone sections and lower level sections in the scoreboard end zone. Fans purchasing individual game tickets will also see an increase in prices ranging from $1 to $5 per ticket. New for 2006, the Upper Deck Corner (rows 21-38) sections will see a price decrease of $2.00 for individual game tickets. Buffalo Bills tickets continue to be the least expensive in the league. At an average ticket price of $44.66 in 2005, Bills tickets represented the lowest average ticket price in the League. By comparison the average ticket price in the NFL in 2005 was $62.29" They lowered the price on some upper deck seats from row 21 up and raised everything else. Rockpile seats went from $25 to $27 for seasons. Say goodbye to all the games being on local TV.

udonkey Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Have you ever gone to a game outside of RWS? Even at this increased price, this is still one the best NFL values around. Then again...you might say that you get what you pay for.

Then again...you might say that you get what you pay for. 582438[/snapback] Seriously...Last year we went to the game in Cincy and had seats way up high and they were like $65! We sat 6th row 20 yard line at the Ralph for the Carolina game this year for about $48 a seat if I remeber correctly. I'll still take the Bills prices despite the extra couple bucks.
Outkast Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I got 6 tix for $60 for the New England game.

Come on man, just because we're not really happy with the latest developments doesn't mean you should dig for things to B word about.

Mike32282 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I know that the Bills are still one of the cheapest tickets in the country. but still...after all this, they had a horrible year, pissed off their fans big time and then took the coach that no one wanted...then they decide to give the ultimate FU to the fans and raise the prices??? You gotta be kidding me!
duey Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I agree with the posters...relax...have you tried to go to a game anywhere else latel?. Sheesh.

drhockey Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Whoo hoo...raised ticket prices must mean that we are going after some higher priced coaching talent. Here's comes Mike Sherman........er..wait.. Here's comes Jim Bates......um
Fan in San Diego Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I wish the prices were that cheap in San Diego ! Don't complain, they are a bargain.
kasper13 Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 I've paid $100+ for a ticket to baseball games, a Notre Dame FB Game and for hockey games and I have paid close to that for Bills away games as well. That was not my point. Sure it's only a couple bucks more per game and it's still low compared to other NFL cities but my point was after the crap season they had and the crap decade they have had and an unpopular head coaching choice yesterday, how do they justify slapping the fans with a ticket price increase? Anyone up on the economy in WNY these days? $20-$50 extra per season ticket isn't exactly pocket change for alot of people, especially for a losing team with no bright future on the horizon. I'm not digging for things to complain about. It's a legitimate complaint. The season ticket base is going to fall off by at least a few thousand if not more. It seems as if all of this is being done on purpose to drive fans away for whatever reason. Maybe the Bills are tired of having all of the home games on local TV. I don't have an answer as to the seemingly poor decisons that are continuing to be made at OBD.
Campy Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 $20-$50 extra per season ticket isn't exactly pocket change for alot of people, especially for a losing team with no bright future on the horizon. 582559[/snapback] Frankly speaking, if an extra dollar or two per game, or an extra $20-50 for season tix, will keep a person away from the Ralph, the budget must be pretty tight. That person might want to re-evaluate how they're spending their money in the first place, and decide whether spending their last 45 dollars on a Bills ticket is the wisest of moves. But I don't feel sorry for them. There's likely a bunch of other areas where they squander their money, putting them in that position in the first place.

You gotta be kidding me! 582498[/snapback] Maybe they want new fans and want the Jerk Nation to go elsewhere? Price increase is no big deal; a lot of them are sold by scalpers who will just pass the cost on. And the new coach, despite the attempt by some fans and media outlets to portray it otherwise, is not that unpopular. Sherman didn't even get another interview and he was the whiners' favorite.
