weehawk Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 The NFL avg is $75. The Bills avg is just under $35. It's one of the main reasons the team will likely leave with new ownership. This area will not support the team as it has at $75 a ticket. Ralph saw to that by fielding a losing team for a decade. Not to mention the State of NY and the unions trashing the upstate economy. Of course if you work in a union, I'm sure you'll argue that last point. Dont bother. It will fall on deaf ears. I came across this study today, if it has already been posted, I AM SORRY! No need to slap my paddies! The average NFL ticket costs $75 The Bills by far have the lowest priced ticket at $51.25 I am so sick and tired of Ralph crying poor when he has underpriced his product, proof being that a horrible team sells out season after season. If Ralph were to raise ticket prices by $20 across the board, we would still be below the leage average. Over the course of 10 games, yes ten, I am not counting Toronto, he would make an additional $15Million dollars. I am sorry to say this, but if the Buffalo community can not support a team at what would be below average prices, then maybe it is time for them to go. However, I think our community would support this as opposed to being held hostage year after year.
