All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

The overloaded ticket lines were caused, in part, by the almost unprecedented last-minute ticket-selling frenzy related to the failure to lift the TV blackout of the game. Team officials also have cited Sunday's late-arriving crowd; perhaps because of the rain, fans came later, and the crowd was slowed by snarled traffic near the stadium.
"Unfortunately, when you have that much volume that close to the game, there's not much you can do," said David Wheat, vice president of business operations and ticketing. "We did the best we could."
Bills officials determined that 23,000 fans, almost one-third of the crowd, entered the stadium after Sunday's kickoff.
I'm sorry...but I don't have sympathy for most of the fans that chose to wait so long. Some may have had valid excuses...but who the **** waits til 45 minutes before kickoff to get their ticket? Most of us at the tailgate were on our way into the stadium shortly after that
That's why I miss watching the games when I lived in So. Fla. No traffic. No lines expecially at the concession stands. I could watch the games laying down while sunbathing since you usually end up with one whole row to yourself. The stadium was empty but sold out. It was always easy to find free tickets.
Visiting team fans were usually the 12th man. I miss the good ole' days.
you guys are hillarious. the bills knew how many tickets were sitting at will call. They did absolutely nothing to staff up and deliver the tickets in a timely manner...and no doubt they just said to all the people who missed half the game "sorry, but you are screwed, thank you for your money". The bills are nothing but another money grubbing, gouging, monopolizing NFL organization.
and you "what makes a real fan" folks are even funnier.
