San Diego, Oakland, Seattle and Cleveland have no tickets available according to bb.com

The Jets game only has groups of 3 available, so I assume that is close as well.

For anybody that wants to tickets to any games this year that does NOT have access to seasons, I recommend getting ahold of one right now. I would guess that only one or two games (San Fran? NE?)will have any tickets available to the general public.

There will probably be a small amount available to each game after the Lions pre-season game (Once they stop selling seasons and release any unsold tickets that were set aside for new season ticket holders)

Regardless, it looks like those who like to sit home and watch the game swill not miss any games this year.

The Jets game is down to pairs now. Wow these went fast. You can still get what you want for the 49ers and Patriots, but I bet they'll go fast once the go on sale to the general public.

This is very good news, no matter how you spin it. As much as I'd like to get seasons, the driving distance is just too inconvienent. I was planning on probably get tix for SF and maybe NE this year only anyways, so this is a good thing. I think these promising ticket sales along with help from the Toronto deal will go a long way in keeping the Bills in Buffalo until I'm old and senile.

Just imagine if the team actually won with a little more regularity...

They're probably selling out because the Bills are predicted to lead the AFC East this year.

























by me, anyway. :up:

:bf1: are they counting the Toronto game as a home game?

Dr. Lecter

No, because the selling of those tickets are being done differently.

Only San Fran and NE remain.

That's awesome, it will be nice not to have to talk about how we can't sell anything.

Oops, it says the highest since 93, so it's very possible it was even higher in 90, 91, or 92.

It was like 61,000 sold in 1991, but remember, the outdoor capacity of the stadium was over 80K back then.

NE will sell out when all the Pats fans will gobble up the individual game seats.

The Niners game might be tough, but with probably around 55K in seasons sold, and the fact that there probably won't be any other tickets to get for any other game, that game should also sell out well before Nov 30.

WOW! Tickets arent even available to general public are they? the individual tickets are being bought by season ticket holders right?

Those games won't have many tickets on sale to the general public. I would guess both will be sold out before the season starts. Figure with 25K remaining, many of those will be gone before the public gets a shot between season tickets holders buying them and the amoun that San Fran gets to sell.

There is now limited availability for NE / San Fran and the rest of the home games are sold out. Whoa, this is unbelievable. I guess people are under the impression that they are not going to get a seat without season tix, which is totally cool.

Yeah im going to try to order my tickets ASAP. I always go to one around christmas/new years but I think this year I'm going to try to be up for a couple more...depending on how good they are. I am going to the Redskins/Bills preseason game down here, got tix in hand for that...and Im travelling to the Colts/Bills preseason game in Indy in their brand new stadium so that should be cool. First time I'll be watching an indoor football game.

Supply and demand at work here. 7 games instead of 8 means a lot less tickets to choose from, and a lot less to pay for a season ticket package. So if we continue to sell out every game, and we play one in Tornoto every year, would everyone be happy, fans and ownership alike?

With things like Ticket Exchange and Stub Hub I don't think people who haven't purchased a ticket yet have anything to worry about.

Speaking of which, last year I got a good preseason ticket for $9.

"Stupid fans. They're settling for mediocrity! Boycott the games ! "

Remember those posts by some of the usual suspects within the last year ?

Seems we continue to get dumber & dumber by buying seasons, like me.

We'll never learn.

This is nice, but it's really nothing spectacular.

All the Bills have to sell is 63,000 seats. The other 10,000 are tied up in five year leases.

So if there's 52,000 season ticket holders, that leaves only 11,000 per game that they need to sell.

It's impressive, but not completely unexpected if you field any semblence of a decent team.
