    TWO HUNDRED and FIFTY BUCKS a seat?

    a billionaire probably does think that's okay.
    But what does a blue collar guy think?
    Who's going to pay that?

    I'd personally pay $500 a game per seat for the whole season if it brought a better product to the field, the crap we have been fed since the start of the century has been brutal and I would pay for a real change for the better.

    It may have not dawned on everybody here but the more our team earns, the more likely they are to stay our team and actually wins the games we attend. Let's just call the whole thing a working project .

      Being from Toronto, Im trying to stay out of this since I dont want to sound biased (or flamed ).

      But if the average ticket in Toronto does end up being $250, and all the seats get sold out, -do you really think the next owner of the Bills wont take notice of this want to move to area that will make more profit?

        I am not saying $250 a ticket is the norm but reality is Buffalo has extremely inexpensive ticket prices. Check out other big cities like New York, New England, Washington, Dallas and see what they charge. It costs a fortune for season tickets in some of the good seats.

          That's still not that bad. Is that $250 per or the average? If it's per that's freaking cheap.

            I would easily pay that although End zone seats would never be that high.

              no it's not cheap. Where the hell do you get your numbers? The average ticket price is $68. There's no way $250 per game is cheap. You are out of your mind! Here's the numbers from last season....

                I pay more than $250 per game and my seats aren't all that great at Texas Stadium.

                  you keep comparing the ridiculously priced Dallas Cowboys with all the other teams and consider that price cheap. You are nuts if you believe that is cheap. It may be a fair price in Dallas, Washington, New England and maybe New Jersey, but that's about it. Most of the other NFL teams average much much lower than that.

                        what the **** is that all about? I'm not being cheap. But you know damn well that the average ticket price all throughout the league is not $250. If it was, I have a feeling there would be at least 6-10 teams that would have to move or fold.

                          Yeah you are, all you mother ****ers are a bunch of cheap ****s. You want to keep the team but you don't want to pay for it, "you" doesn't necessarily mean you Mikey82 you means you ****ing locals. Though I'm sure you would be the first one to ***** about the price raise.

                          I got a PM from UltimateBillsFan raising hell with me saying that raising prices just isn't how it works in Buffalo because people can't afford much more. If that's the case then you don't deserve the Bills, like it or not it's a business and if someone thinks they can make more money elsewhere because of cheap ****s then they are leaving, can't say I would blame that person.

                          What's sad is that some of us do our part and spend more to go to one game that it will cost you to go to all eight games, too bad the people in the area don't have the same dedication to our Bills.

                            $250 is way too much for a regular season football game ticket. Especially in Buffalo.

                              My take is that the average blue collar guy is going to get priced out of attending NFL games in the near future. We will be destined to Direct tv

                              Ohh yeah, and my 56 inch DLP high Def tv
