HereComesTheReignAgain Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 On the Bills website, the Monday night game is listed as sold out. I wonder if this will boost season ticket sales even more? I think they are holding seats for those who buy seasons. How expensive do scalped tix have to be before it makes more sense to just buy the whole season?

PTR When logged in to account manager, the list of games shows "sold out" instead of having a button to click on to purchase tix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say this will boost seasons, even if only by a little bit. You can get a season ticket as cheap as $244.00 (including fees). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid $300 for a pair of scalped tic's to the Dallas game. I got a deal, most people were paying $500. Upper deck 20 yard line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billadelphia Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I bought 2 tickets from a broker a few weeks ago for the Cleveland game at the goal line 6 rows up in section 116 for $183. I figured that I'd rather do that then try and go through the hassel of trying to get them this morning. In hindsight (and what I'll do next year) is just buy season tickets and get rid of the ones that I can't make it for. $90 a seat isn't bad for a MNF game considering the prices that I've seen in other stadiums, but getting season tickets seems to be the way to go when you run the numbers.

BillsFanInRochester Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 How many of those tickets for MNF were picked up by scalpers? Like I have seen at Sabres games, extra tickets get bought cheap by scalpers, and then scalpers rape the fans trying to go to the game. The end result is local fans cannot afford tickets at the resale price, but the other team's fans who are desperate for seats pay the price to go. I have seen Sabres games where it looks like Montreal/Toronto/Ottawa had more fans than Buffalo. I hope that doesn't happen with the MNF game.

Many of the scalpers are Bills fans who try to make some money on the side to pay for their tickets. Selling a ticket you are not going to use because it is part of a season ticket package is different than buying extra to get kickbacks from ticket scalpers selling to opposing fans.

I'd sooner suspect that they're already gone. Did you notice that LL1 (the $560 tix) are also not on your list? No way they'd be holding those back, if they had any to sell.

***PetrinoInAlbany*** Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Buy a pair? If I bought a pair I'd have to find a buyer for a pair half the games and a single the others. How does that help? The Ticket Exchange has been a blessing for season ticket holders who live out of town. Now, instead of eating the tix or giving them away, you can legally sell them for way more than face value. For those of you who may have, in the past, hesitated to pull the trigger on season tix because it's impractical for you to attend every game, rethink it. The down side is this ... It (Ticket Exchange) is going to act as a force to drive ticket prices up overall. How long will the Bills continue selling me tickets to a game at forty-five bucks apiece and then watch me sell them - on THEIR web site - for $150.00 apiece? Not long, I'm guessing. Now, having said that, the dynamic could change if we become a 2-14 team. But for now, I suspect the price increases are coming. Sooner rather than later, too ...

Jamie Nails Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Long time lurker, I've posted a few times under other names. Can't for the life of me remember my old login so I had to sign up as the fatest piece of crap linemen we've ever had (besides Mike Williams). Anyhow, I live in California, have no ties to Buffalo and went to my first game at the Ralph last year. It cost me close to $300 for 2 good seats on the 40 yard line for the Bengals game. So this year, I decided to buy season tickets as I'm planning to attend two games. The opener vs. Seattle and the San Diego game. (work won't allow me to come to the Browns game). I'm going to hold onto the Pats game incase its a win and we're in situation and plan to sell the rest. Bottom line. I'm coming to two maybe three game. I got two seats, row 14 section 104 for $650 bucks. I did the math and its cheaper to buy seasons, take the games you want and sell the rest than to wait and pay above face for random games. If I'm able to sell a couple of games above face, I'll breakeven, get two free games or even make money. Not to mention it gives me the flexiblity to go to the games I want. Now who wants to invite me and my other die hard California boy to their opening day tailgate party? There might be a pair of Bills/Browns tickets for face value in it for you -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
