Bills game sold out

[Mad Bomber]

Sunday's Bills game in Toronto is sold out and will be televised locally.

La dee freaking da.

Imagine that, the Bills sold out. Oh wait I was thinking about a completely different meaning of Sold out.
But seriously, I'm not surprised at all that game is sold out. Its a novelty type game.

[Mitchy moo]

I bet that Mr. Canada would of been pleased.

[gr8slayer]

I was kind of hoping that it wouldn't sell out.

[Mad Bomber]

Same here.

Just because all the tickets sold, doesn't mean the stadium will be full.

True, but someone's wallet will still be very happy, and that's all that matters to the vast majority of people in power.

It would have been televised in Buffalo regardless.

I can't believe it took a city of 5 million people- plus Buffalo fans coming up- until the last second to buy up 50k tickets when the Ralph routinely sells out 72k tickets despite having a metropolitan area that's barely over a million.

[Jan Reimers]

Big Deal. They sold out a 54,000 seat stadium for one whole game, and you have to think that a good part of the crowd will be current Bills' season ticket holders.

[OpIv37]

Now that I think about it though, this is the best possible outcome.

The Bills make money and the relationship is profitable, which helps the Bills stay economically viable. But at the same time, it shows that demand in Toronto wasn't as strong as they thought, at least not at those ticket prices. That makes Toronto seem less attractive as a potential future home for the Bills.

This is a neutral site game as far as I'm concerned. I feel as though local Bills fans got screwed out of a home game this year.

BTW, how is the tailgating at the Rogers Centre?

BTW, how is the tailgating at the Rogers Centre?You mean the tailgating that wasn't allowed for the preseason game?

Well 1 ticket was the cost of Seasons in Buffalo.

Well 1 ticket was the cost of Seasons in Buffalo.
Which is really beyond pathetic.

I didn't realize that. That sucks big time.

Do they allow it for regular season games?

[Tiburon1724]

I believe Rogers bought 20,000 remaining tickets this week.

[OpIv37]

I believe Rogers bought 20,000 remaining tickets this week.

that would be a nifty trick, considering he died on Tuesday.

[DynaPaul]

Most of those tickets were corporate purchases.
