Predict Season Tix Sales Next Year, Based On Jauron Returning

[Night Train]

The Bills Season Ticket Sales went over 56,000 last year, up from roughly 47,000 the year before.

With the Jauron returning announcement, predict the total for 2009 (I'm sure the Bills will go to great lengths to delay that information until opening day). Keep in mind most Club seats & suites are up for renewel and the huge change in the economy as of late.

Mine - 34,000

[Nighthawk]

It will probably be around 40,000 or so.

38,000

BTW - I'm not renewing mine. I just felt my parents turning over in their grave.

Tickets have been in my family name since 1960. I started going as a kid in the mid 1960's myself.

Wilson got his 78 Mil from the late Ted Rogers last February, which obviously made this decision easy for him.

He'll never see a dime of my $$ again.

[Bravo82]

well you can subtract one from that 56,000 right here.

[Mr. Pink]

Approximately 48K

I don't think public backlash come renewal time will be as great as many of you think.

[jimmacie]

They'll lose at least 10,000 season tickets - as they should with such a cheap ******* for an owner and loser as a coach.

[bflojohn]

They will "buy" a few free agents and the outlook will change enough to lure all of you back in..... I'd say 53,000. Minimal decline in season tickets, IMO!!!

Where are they and how many?

I'll take them over. I am a glutton for punishment.

[Ebenezer]

I'm envisioning over 50K...it's the only chance they have of staying here and we know it...and so does Ralph.

[Kenny]

I predict some blackouts

And that's why he can continue to flip us off by keeping a horrible coach, someone that most of us depise. He holds us fans by the balls. Because we don't want to lose the team. :ill:

And people are shocked when a season ticket record is set after two 7-9 season?

Not to isolate Lecter, but this whole s*** franchise is cyclic, and half of our fan base is at least half to blame.

The owner makes boneheaded moves, the fans get bitter and talk tough but they do nothing. They buy season tickets, merch, 15 dollar beers, etc. The old man is senile, but he can still count money. So he presses on.

I could say it until I'm blue in the face but most of you don't care. For the guy who talked about having seasons in his family since '60...I hope you really are going to pass on them. Some ****** will likely fill your seat, but at least you have conviction and a sack.

I'm betting that the season ticket base will be 46,000 after the Bills sign one of the big names in FA (Bart Scott, Terrell Suggs or Albert Haynesworth). Then they will fill holes with other players and do well in the draft. The season ticket sales will start out slow, but by July everyone will be excited again...


Don't forget that we only have to pay for 9 home games this year. We get both pre-seasons back and we lose 1 home game to Toronto.

[clumping platelets]

Well, we'll hafta buy both preseason games...........I'll predict 46,500

Amen.

And I vote 52,000

They will lose 5K due to the economy realistically.
