I believe that is a $72 savings for both me and clump.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Saving but losing a game.

[MikeInRoch]

If the ticket's weren't that low, it's unlikely they would sell out.

[patmoran2006]

Im getting season tickets, the best ones available.. IF this front office signs a couple of quality free agents and I'm convinced that they're trying to be a playoff team THIS year, not in the "future"

[patmoran2006]

Ive NEVER bought season tickets before.

Do you pay the whole thing upfront or part of a deposit down?

Seriously, that is horrible.

[hammerbillsfan]

I don't know but you can call the office.

1-877-BB-TICKS or (716) 649-0015.

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

I am in for my 2nd season of season tickets.

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

Seriously, that is horrible.

Seriously, will you quit your whining about everything regarding the Bills, the people around here, and the tickets? Jesus man, you aren't even married yet and you whine this much?

[DraftBoy]

It's just pathetic, if I were the new owner of the Bills and saw those ticket prices I'd be looking for a new place for my new team too. Ralph seriously needs to double ticket prices.

BTW, I'm engaged so I have every right to ***** :mad:

[clumping platelets]

I would rather pay for 10 games :mad:

[Jan Reimers]

I take the option to pay for mine over nine months.

[Buffatexas]

BTW, I'm engaged so I have every right to ***** :mad:


not yet you dont :)

[Buffatexas]

I take the option to pay for mine over nine months.


they really give that option?

[Ed]

Living out of town and seeing those prices... its a hell of a deal for NFL football.
No kidding. I was able to go to the Bills game in New England this past season and I believe the face value of my ticket was close to $200.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I am in for my 2nd season of season tickets.
:bf1:
Where do you tailgate?

[DraftBoy]

Just for comparison sake its costs 1080.00 dollars to get the highest quality seats to see the Georgia Force play here in Georgia and they are Arena Football!

[ddaryl]

I find it hard to believe a $10 increase across the board would be too much to ask for Buffalo.

In all honesty though ticket prices have to increase to close to $100 a ticket. how many people who have seasons would not renew if they had to pay $100 per seat ?

[Night Train]

I take the option to pay for mine over nine months.

Ditto, Jan. Club seats aren't cheap but well worth it. :beers:

[Jeff1220]

It cost thousands just to get a PSL for the Ravens. Then the ST cost is high each year to boot.
Aren't the $36 seats in the Rockpile sort of like getting the bleacher seats at a baseball game.

[Ed]

I went to a few Georgia Force games when I lived in Atlanta. That sounds like a total rip off.

The Bills really do need to raise ticket prices though.

I'd pay at least $100/seat for season tickets if I lived in Buffalo. It would still be worth it. Nothing beats going to Bills games.

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

:bf1:
Where do you tailgate?

Usually in a couple different places. On the Milestrip side of the stadium back in the corner, in the ECC lots, or one time we were at Danny's.

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

BTW, I'm engaged so I have every right to ***** :mad:

Actually you have no idea how much more fun it gets.

[Nighthawk]

If the ticket's weren't that low, it's unlikely they would sell out.

I have to disagree with you. This area can afford higher prices...I truly believe that. You can get a season ticket for under $1000 bucks...for NFL football! That's nuts.

[Michael82]

Why would they lower the total season ticket price? I figured it would stay the same, as that would move us closer to the NFL average? I have no problem paying $360 for my season tickets, but I would rather pay last year's price, $430 for the 8 games so it gets us closer to the NFL average and proves that we can pay it. :up:

[Michael82]

Look at how much people pay for the freaking Sabres games. People can afford the higher prices. I would have no problem paying $70-100 per game if it helps keep the team here. :up:

[Ebenezer]

if the Bills raised prices as much as you guys say the fans would go ballistic.

[Michael82]

true. For Ralph to get them up to NFL average, he has to raise it slowly. That makes it easier. :up:

[gr8slayer]

There's no more time for slowly.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Congrats man, buy alot of aspirin..

[YardRat]

Although I agree Ralph should raise ticket prices, a couple of points...

1. Keeping the same toal for seasons and losing two games would take about a millisecond for the majority of fans to really go ballistic about they are getting ripped off, what a cheap bastard Ralph is, trying to pull the wool over the fans eyes and on and on.

2. Why the hell should Ralph raise ticket prices and give 40% of the increase to the rest of the owners in the NFL? They ****ed him in the ass with the last CBA and the continued bastardization of the revenue-sharing concept and he's supposed to turn around and dole more money out to them out of gratitude?

**** 'em all...Sometimes you have to play the game they want to a little bit while your working on correcting their short-sightedness and greed. Keep lower ticket prices for the average fans and raise the revenue in a manner which allows the team to keep 100% of the money.

[Wys Guy]

Uhh, TV revenues.

[Ebenezer]

I would rather pay for 10 games :mad:
but the thing is we are saving $72...not the "few bucks" you predicted we would save :D

and I'm sorry...they can have the preseason game. I would have signed that thing away until the year 3030.

[Lone Stranger]

Those of you who are complaining have to remember that the Sabres' prices are considerably higher particularly on an individual game basis.

Not that I'm happy about it. But I won't be the one crying if the Bills leave. There is only so much I'd be willing to pay a professional athlete. There are other priorities.

[HHURRICANE]

Thrasher Hockey tickets cost more money!!

The Bills should easily double prices.

$72 is only 1 tank of gas :rolleyes:

[Ebenezer]

$72 is only 1 tank of gas :rolleyes:
for you and your manly truck :snicker: I filled up tonight for $30.

how much of a discount did you want?? Do you think tickets are too expensive?
