REGISTRATION FOR BILLS TORONTO TIX OVER 100K: Since the preseason schedule has been released demand for Bills tickets for the preseason and regular season game this year have been through the roof. According to reps at Rogers Communications registrations at www.billsintoronto.com have topped the 100,000 mark. Can't say I'm surprised. When you're drawing on a population base of about 5 million people demand is going to be high. Filling stadiums in cities of that size are never a problem. There's just too much interest in the NFL game.

If you're interested in attending the Bills preseason or regular season game in Toronto this year you have until April 24th to register at the above link for tickets. A random draw will be used to determine which football fans will have the opportunity to purchase tickets. Tickets for the Toronto series will go on sale some time next month.

Thats crazy especially since Rogers center can't hold that much.

either thats creates more fans from canada or it strengthens the push for a move to TO.


In Jimbo we trust!!!!!!!!!!

Look like Torontonians want to make a statement about their desire to have an NFL team IMO... especially at $200 a ticket...

I'm not sure if this is good or bad. Should I want the Toronto experience to fail miserably? Or should I want it to succeed so we can use the Toronto experience to draw more fans and box/suite ticket holders?

I think that the big boys will buy boxes in the ralph when they get shut out of Rogers.

I personally think it is good for the Bills right now, assuming they aren't leaving. I also think it wouldn't be like this if the Bills were in Toronto for good. Right now the ticket registration is so high because it isn't a common deal and it's only those two games. If it was 8 games and 2 pre-season I doubt you would see a demand like this.

I heard from a wealthy friend that Willis wants to play for the bills for that game.

As I've said before, Toronto will definitely support an NFL team - as they do their NHL, MLB and NBA clubs - so there is really no "audition" taking place. If Ralph sells to the highest bidder, some larger city will get the Bills. If Toronto bidders win, it will be because they have outbid all the others, regardless of how well these games do in Toronto.

So long term, these games really mean nothing, as long as Ralph maintains his current position on his post mortem sale of the team. Short term, if the success of these games mean more individual and premium ticket sales and more suites leased at the Ralph, it's a good thing.
