bobinaz Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Question for you season ticket holders. I know I'll probably be asked "Why?" but here goes. My son and I are thinking about getting a pair of season tickets for this year. I live in Arizona and he is in western NY. When do they go on sale and how do you get to pick your seats? I have read in the past that they have a day where you can go to the stadium and choose that way. Still they still do that? What sections are the best to select from? I haven't been back to the Ralph in several years. So a little help here would certainly be appreciated. Thanks folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Philster Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 They haven't had that select-a-seat day in a few years as I recall...last one I remember was Jason Peters' rookie year..it always coincided with open mini-camp As far as best sections...you could have dozens of different responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Last time I remember there being 'Select A Seat' was 2004 when I upgraded to my club seats. Your son you said is in WNY, have call the ticket office and ask if they'll give him a tour of what's available. What they should do then is set up a time to meet at the stadium with him, and take him around to some of the various sections with seats available. That way he'll get an idea on what the different views are like. There's also the views from the seats here. It sucks compared to the previous version they had, but will give you an idea.

MarkyMannn Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 You'll find what is available is lower bowl corners and end zones, and in the upper deck corners and like row 30 and up in the middle of the upper deck. Don't even dream of 40 yard line lower bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even dream of 40 yard line lower bowl He may have a chance with lower 40yardline becauce of all the people that are done with the Bills .

Preston Ridlehuber Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 For what its worth, I am looking for a partner for my seats in the Jim Kelly Club. I have 4 seats in the sixth row at around the 10 yard line closest to the tunnel end zone. My deal with my former partner was that I got the home opener and then he chose the next two games. In teh event there was a home playoff game, we would each get two tickets. If anyone interested send me a pm and I will give further details.

PromoTheRobot Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Rockpile corners are great value. I love my seats. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Rob Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Rockpile corners are great value. I love my seats. PTR Great value yes.But avoiding getting stabbed and dodging the countless security gaurds heading to that section gets annoying. The last time I sat in the rock pile was at the Atlanta game that Spikes tore his leg up.They had to remove a guy in a STRECHER.A guy that was way too drunk and wanted to fight with my brother because he was wearing his Redskins hat.The guy wouldn't give up.And about every 20 min another fight needed to be broke up. So I say go to the rockpile at your own risk.Cheap seats but not worth it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in row 12, sec 230 in the Paul McGuire Club. Nice view and the heated seats still work Plus we have the overhang over us for about ten more rows. Rarely do we get any rain or snow in our face as most weather patterns come from the SW. Off to the side of the Bills bench but with binocs can see what is going on but more importantly, close enough to scope out the cheerleadres The club inside has tables and plenty of TV's, some showing other games or major sporting events. Good food (Ilike the beef on weck) and beer, wine or hard drinks are available. Extra bucks but it's worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dib Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I just renewed my Miami Hurricane tickets. I sit on an aisle, no more than 20 feet from a rest room and a beer booth, directly across the field from the Jumbotron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordio Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 They sell beer @ college games???? I am always confused about this too. When I went to the NCAA tourney they did not sell any beer. They do not sell any beer at UB. But my friend said when he goes to Pitt football games they sell beer. I think the rule is that if the stadium/arena is off campus they could sell booze. They do not sell it at the tournament because I think the NCAA put a rule in about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Maybe it's up to the individual universities? I know there's no alcohol allowed @ PENN STATE's Beaver Stadium, and the state cops and LCB guys are usually going 'round looking for underage drinkers in the lots, where you can drink 'til the game starts.
