Is Sunday a sellout?

Um . . . thanks, but the story actually says single tickets remain.

Generally it has been a good assumption that when sales get down to the only single tickers point that a sellout is worth the bucks to the local network affiliate or the Bills themselves to donate (and have us taxpayers pay since this is a dedecutible charitable gift by them) the remaining tickets to insure a lift of the blackout.

 

In general, as the team owners have begun to understand that the major profit and cash comes from TV rather than ticket sales, they place a higher value on getting the 3+ hour commercial for their product than hard enforcement of the blackout.

 

This trhinking has progressed from the team and the league giving extension after when a lift of the blackout is close but the deadline is reached to even pre-season games which never sellout historically are now used through efforts like the Bill Kids day promotion to not only get the commerical called the broadcast aired, but you begin building the behavior of going to the Ralph amongst young future customers.

 

Even though they will get bought one way or the other the Bills will not announce a sellout until all the tickets are sold (TV is more important, but they make bucks from attendees as wellI. Since you are weighing your options, call TBD to be sure, but you can be pretty sure the game will be televised
