MDyl7993 Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 Just because our prices are lower than others does not mean we should feel guilty about it. Every day on the radio I listen to snobs who feel the prices should be higher because "they" can afford it. It's bad enough that superbowls are not for fans, but, corporations who could care less about the game. What's next, a "caste" system? Tickets go first to the spenders and then to those who cannot afford it? I don't get it.

One prom dress. 1/2 a snow blower. What i use as my break point at a casino visit. Less than most spend on scratch tickets There is a caste system. It is seat licenses You are right no guilt but also when the next owner backs up the moving van to one bills drive who will you have left to blame?
kasper13 Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 Bills fans are way down the list of people to blame (if blame must be tossed around) NFL is first, Dan Snyder & Jerry Jones are 2nd & 3rd. Ralph Wilson is 4th. Put all the politicians in WNY next on the list. NFLPA is after that. Bills fans are around 347th on the list. It comes down to this in this area. Do I put gas in my tank this week or buy Bills tickets? (Gas is $2.95 a gallon today) The majority of people in WNY just do not have the money to spend on things like Bills tickets yet they do. Every game is sold out and the team has sucked for 5 years. Where is the breaking point for Bills fans in WNY? It's very close now. PSL's, $100 tickets and $35 dollar parking is way beyond the average Bills fan. I should know. I live here and am one of the average fans (with season tickets- for now) There were a whole bunch of people who boght Sabres Playoff tickets this spring (maybe instead of Bills Tickets or in addition to Bills tickets). All three Sabres first round games are sold out. Sabres will be over 10,000 season tickets next season and they are much more expensive than Bills tickets. The point is this: IT'S NOT THE FANS FAULT. How much more can the fans give?
