All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Heres a link saying that the Lions are having a tough time selling tickets. Yet our games are almost all sold out. Last year we both finished 7-9. Detroit is a big city and we are a small market. Yet, the Lions are the ones having trouble selling tickets, not us.
Maybe the term "small market" is nothing more than a phrase to use when your convinced the sky is falling.
Anyone catch that video of the Erie Canal Harbor grand opening ceremony? All the politicians there patting themselves on the back...wish I was there so I could throw up because of all the bull**** in the air.
Not sure how much longer it is going to take for everyone to realize we can sell out every game for the rest of eternity. It won't, in itself, help the Bills stay in Buffalo.
Although having a half packed house would seal the envelope for us, so we have to keep packing the Ralph.

true, it's pretty nauseating but at least we're finally seeing some progress in the area. I'll let the politicians glorify themselves if they actually improve downtown.

as someone said- it's not general ticket sales that make all the revenue, it's the luxury boxes. And Buffalo doesn't have the large corporations to shell out for luxury boxes like other major cities.
And Toronto would sell more tickets than Detroit. Detroit's a terrible example because that team's been mismanaged worse than the Bills have been.

To the best of my knowledge we are selling more tickets than them on ALL levels. And now your saying Detroit has been badly mismanaged. Yet no one says they could lose their team.
Im becoming convinced that this issue is a non-existant one.
The real issue is what happens to the Bills when Ralph dies. But that can happen to any team. The dissimilarity would be that larger markets have more people with the funds to buy a team.
Detriots big companies are struggling mightily. i'm sure the Ford's would entertain thoughts of selling the lions if the right price came along.
Detroit has homes sellling for cheaper than cars right now. GM and Ford both have to get off of SUV for their sales leaders because people are ditching them. and they don't have the cash to properly R&D top line enviromental cars. If they can shed jobs to save some cash, i'd hope they'd shed the 2 or 3 boxes they have.

that is the real issue since he said it was going to sell to the highest bidder...what people can't get their heads around is that the team is worth more somewhere else and since that's true the highest bidder likely will be from somewhere else because people in this market can't afford to pay that high price because the return won't be there.
