Alright all you local Buffalo Bills fans....

[Michael82]

The team just beat another team that was in the hunt for the playoffs and kicked their asses on the road. They are on a hot streak and have won 3 out of their last 4 games. They are playing our hated rival the Miami Dolphins at 1:00pm on (hopefully) a chilly December afternoon. They are realistically out of the playoffs, but technically if they win, they are still alive. This game should be a blast as both the Bills and Dolphins are hot right now. Come on guys! Get your tickets! Let's sell this game out. :up:

[casdhf]

This game will sell out.

[Michael82]

This game will sell out.
I have a feeling there will be a bunch of Bills fan and Dolphins fans buying tickets this week and then Ralph or a local company will buy the remaining 3,000 tickets. :pray:

[Devin]

That stadium better be packed for fish week.

[Bufftp]

You guys haven't sold out yet? :ill:

if i wasn't coming home 5 days after the game i would take a sick day this weekend and drive up for it :mad:

[Dr. Lecter]

This better sell out. If Bills fans consider themselves the best in the NFL, the game against the biggest rival damn well better sell out.

[mysticsoto]

I heard on WGR this morning that there were still 6800 tickets left. They couldn't even be optimistic about it and say it may sell - they just point blank said it looks like another blacked out game for Buffalo... :ill:

[Michael82]

This better sell out. If Bills fans consider themselves the best in the NFL, the game against the biggest rival damn well better sell out.
EXACTLY! :bf1:

[justasportsfan]

It's winter. The snowbirds have moved to Fla. and others have moved out permanently.

uhh, they said that there was 6,800 tickets left as of Friday. Who knows what has been sold since then.

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

Channel 2 news just said 6,400 tix remain, deadline is Thurs. 1:00 for the blackout to be lifted doesn't look like it's going be on TV. :down:

[THATHURMANATOR]

if i wasn't coming home 5 days after the game i would take a sick day this weekend and drive up for it :mad:
Just do it!

[THATHURMANATOR]

Is Stampy going to this game?

What the **** is wrong with the people in Western NY? Why can't they sell out the ****ing games, especially against their biggest rival and a game that means a lot? :mad:

[Historian]

If it sells down to a managable number, like 2000, Ralph will buy the remainder and donate them to local charities, as a holiday gift.

But the number has to be reasonable.

[LtFinFan66]

lol especially after i voted for devin in both tournaments. he might try to stab me with the sword of destiny and bury me in uticaAt least go with Rome...I lived there 2 years and it's only 15 more minutes from Utica:up:

[Dr. Lecter]

Yep. He has done that many times in the past.

[LtFinFan66]

has he Doc or was that sarcasm:idunno:

[THATHURMANATOR]

He has many times

[Michael82]

He has many times
so has some local businesses. :up:

[Dr. Lecter]

has he Doc or was that sarcasm:idunno:

No. Ralph does that almost every year He buys a bunch of tickets and gives them to places like Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the YMCA, etc. so the poor kids can go the games. I sat next some of the kids one year and it was great. Seeing the joy on their faces was worth the price of admission alone.

[LtFinFan66]

:up:

[Historian]

My guess is that they don't do that in Florida because the whole state is basically one big trailer park.

There simply aren't enough tickets to go around.

[LtFinFan66]

they do it quite often Dave. Boy you are a pain in the ass Fin week aren't ya

[Historian]

How do you say, The Fish Suck in Cuban?

Where's TLBF when you need him?

:tap:

[LtFinFan66]

Damn Mexican

[Dr. Lecter]

Fin week?

[LtFinFan66]

I refuse to use an improper analogy such as you guys do

[Michael82]

If anyone wants to know why the team leaves Buffalo, you can blame all the cheap local people who didn't support their team, even when they are playing their best football in a while. And it's against a hated rival.

[Michael82]

Oh and I guarantee that we will lose one of our home games next year because of how pathetic people are. The NFL will use the last 4 games being blacked out as a reason to move one home game, saying that we didn't support the team and were the only team that couldn't sell out. I was right....people are spending too much ****ing money on the Sabres merchandise and tickets and forgetting about the other team, the Buffalo Bills. :ill:

[Dr. Lecter]

My point was that he is a PITA all of the time.

just wait til Sunday :snicker:

[LtFinFan66]

Oh. Thought you were commenting on me using "Fin week" instead of the ever popular "Fish Week"

[LtFinFan66]

just wait til Sunday :snicker::scratch: So can I expect him to actually show up at the airport Saturday :idunno:

[The_Philster]

and I suppose that you feel it is justified to spend money on a ticket for a team that has sucked for 7 years when it is christmas time and you need all the extra money you have for presents and still pay the mortgage and car payments..... Oh wait you still live with your parents don't you? If the team had shown anything early people would have found a way to get a ticket but they didnt' and it is catching up to them. If we finish strong and make good offseason moves the buzz will be back next season and sell outs will not be a problem. Not to mention the fact that this particular game will be a near sell out and have more fans in the seats than most other teams in the league.

[Dr. Lecter]

What annoys me Thurm are the people who say they have no money and go the bar and blow 50-70 bucks at the bar and complain about the lack of a sellout.

[ublinkwescore]

We have sold out 28 of the last 30.

BAN HIM NOW DAMMIT!!!

[THATHURMANATOR]

That doesn't annoy me because we have been supporting a crap team for too long. We need to make the playoffs and problem solved. Not this season of course but next year.

[Michael82]

That's what bothers me. And so does going to the mall or a Sabres game and seeing people lining up to load up on Sabres gear. You could get that anytime. These games are being missed by the local fans because people are too cheap to pay for tickets or are bandwagon fans. :ill:

[The_Philster]

The point he's making is all that money they blow at the bar...they could use that money to buy a ticket and tailgate pregame before going into the game

You are getting ridiculous Mike the Sabres are playing maybe the best hockey in the history of the franchise and they have energized the city, and they have new uniforms that people want to get. Don't you remember when the bills got new unis and people were waiting in line for those? Did you complain then that people should have been buying Sabres gear/tickets when that team was only selling 12k a game at that point and time and were closer to leaving the city than the Bills have ever come? You talk out your ass sometimes with your over reactions...

[THATHURMANATOR]

Hey you are preaching to the choir here man but some people don't like going to games. I have a couple buddies that like to watch it at a bar/on tv at home rather than going to the game. It is personal preference. If the team is doing real well those 2 dudes tend to go to some games.

[Michael82]

I just can't understand that myself. Watching it at home doesn't come close to the gameday experience...tailgating...being a part of the game (I was part of the crowd that helped cause Steve Young to line up under the guard and caused a lot of false start penalties). Being part of the 12th man is far superior to watching on TV, IMO

Well Phil since I am not those persons I can't give you insight into their internal feelings...

You couldn't school a kindergarden student.

That is a great point that I hadn't thought of!! Those dudes definitly roll to the bars with a bunch of women so that must play a huge roll in their decision.

So reply to them with your over reactive RUBBISH then. That is if your parents arent needing to use the computer... :ill:

I'd understand if the Bills had 2 or 3 wins and looked like ****. But they have won 3 out of the last 4 games and are one of the hotter teams in the NFL. Their offense is finally starting to do something and their team looks better than it has in a few years. Bills fans should be lining up at the Ralph to get tickets. But they don't because they are blowing their money on Sabres stuff and not even thinking about the Bills. :ill:

You didn't even answer my point. Where you calling out people for not supporting the Sabres when the Bills new unis came out a couple years back???

Plus you are showing you don't understand quite a few things. For the December games to sell out the ticket sales need to start early in the year as more people don't like going to cold weather games than the warm ones. Since the team has stunk it up the last couple years and especially started very slowly again this year the sales slowed as people thought to themselves... HMMM why should I sit out in the freezing weather to watch a losing team that has no chance AGAIN this year. It makes perfect sense mike.

so basically we got more fairweather fans that we are willing to admit?

[THATHURMANATOR]

so basically we got more fairweather fans that we are willing to admit?
I guess. We have a SOLID 60k that is there every week so that isn't to bad IMO.

I agree. Once we get a new stadium, we'll have no problem selling out all the games before the season, if we shrink the stadium down to 65,000 seats.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I wouldn't think there would be any problems, keep in mind that a new stadium would equal much higher ticket prices. I really don't think the revenue is in the individual seats as much as luxury boxes anyways so this could be a moot point.

I'd have no problem paying $500 for seasons, if it guaranteed that they were going to stay and we'd have a new state of the art stadium. :up:

Neither would I but we would probably be looking more like 650-700 for the cheapest seats, at least, which I still don't have a problem with

[HHURRICANE]

We need a new stadium. The biggest issue, unfortunately, is that NY State sucks. They are the anti-business. Alot of the problems stem from the corrupt local government and the crappy state governmnet.

[The_Philster]

No really. I love the Ralph but hasn't this all been said 100 times by now.

[HHURRICANE]

Luckily, they are Pro-Bills though...

Actions speak louder than words. NY State has really helped with Buffalo's revitlization?! I'm kind of sick of the lip service. When Buffalo stops paying for NYC than maybe I'll have a different feeling.

I'm stuck in Atlanta because NY makes it impossible for me to have the same successful business there!

[Michael82]

Neither would I but we would probably be looking more like 650-700 for the cheapest seats, at least, which I still don't have a problem with
I don't either, but it will hurt a bit.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Eh not that much really.

[gr8slayer]

MUST SELL OUT GAME!

[THATHURMANATOR]

You going?

I kind of like what Dallas is doing with its new stadium. It will initially be 85,000 seats but can be expanded to over 100,000 in the future if need be. I think if Buffalo does build a new stadium we should so something similar to that.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Why more seats man? That makes no sense for us.

:down:
What's wrong with that?

[THATHURMANATOR]

It makes no sense.

[justasportsfan]

What's wrong with that?
we can't even sell out seats with low ticket prices and you want us to increase seats nos in a new stadium which will increase ticket prices?

[gr8slayer]

It makes no sense.
Why? Dallas is a freaking economic empire that just keeps growing and growing. They have absolutely no problems selling out any games, if the area keeps growing they want to be ready by having the ability to add seats. I think its brilliant.

[gr8slayer]

we can't even sell out seats with low ticket prices and you want us to increase seats nos in a new stadium which will increase ticket prices?
I did not say increase the seats I simply think that we should have the ability to. What if Buffalo takes off in the next ten years? It wouldnt hurt to have the extra room to add on. I dont mean increase them initially, miscommunication I guess.

[raphael120]

theyre adding more luxury suites with the money they got from the state, which should add a little bit, but buffalo will always be on the bad end of the deal...i really think we're going to be playoff ready next year, and if not, then definitly the year after, this team is doing all the right things so far and if JP pans out and we get the right players in the draft, we will only be better next year.

think of what a playoff berth, or even a super bowl run will turn the bills into? you won't hear any "moving to cali" crap if we go to the playoffs or super bowl.

[gr8slayer]

Winning cures all.
