    Wow. So what will they do with the remaining tickets since they got a shot at 25% of them?

      some guy came on WGR a couple minutes ago from the sabres and said the following:

      133 tickets sold to blue jay season ticket holders.
      less than 200 tickets sold to leafs season ticket holders.

      I don't know where the "they had a shot at 25%" came from. He said those organizations were involved with trying to get the tickets sold because they didn't know how hard it would be to sell out the game. Any way you look at it...very few tickets were sold to those fans that people are *****ing and moaning about.

        Sounds to me like selling out the game won't be a problem. Looks like everyone around here is ready and willing to buy the tickets.

          they said they put 42,000 on sale and that there are another 24,000 more for Sabres ticket holders and Bills club seat holders...and that there may be some "kids" obstructed view tickets to be distributed later. I am going to bet that there are so many on the street that day that you can get in for about double the face.

              7,000 seats in "obstructed view" area... are they setting up bleachers around the field or something?? I would think the first few rows in the lower bowl would be GREAT seats, but theyre going for just 10 bucks?

                And that is what is wrong with Gary Bettman and the other idiots running the league! How the **** could you not know that this event would be that popular? How could you actually worry that it wouldn't sell out?

                    Maybe they think that if we can't sell the stadium out for Bills games (last sesaon) we won't be able to sell it out for the Sabres game

                      Thats the Bills though.

                      During the Sabres playoff run, Quinn said we could have sold out "Eight HSBC arenas" or somethin like that.

                          Plus don't forget how many thousands of fans came to watch the games outside during the Party in the Plaza.

                            I believe there were 15,000 standing in the streets of Buffalo for the final game of the Sabres playoffs..no?
