Bills raise ticket prices

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

The Bills say season ticket prices will increase between $2 and $10 per game. The team says it will still have among the lowest ticket prices in the NFL, claiming the 2010 average ($59.19) is $15 less than the 2009 average price across the league.

Re: Bills raise ticket prices

lets see... they take two games a year away from the season ticket holders and still raise the prices... the first year of the toronto deal my seats went from $405/seat for 10 games to $465 for 8

thats was nearly an $18/game increase.... thats when i told them to go fly a kite and ended 10 years of season ticket ownership

Huh? No, what they need to do is put out a good product on the field to stay competitive in the league. Raising prices is like a slap in the face to loyal Bill fans..."Hey suckers...give us more of your money for the crap we've been giving you..."

Re: Bills raise ticket prices

they should put out a good team first. we've taken it on the chin for ten years with nothing to show for it.. its about time they front the bill, put out a good team, make the playoffs and get extra revenue from extra games....then pass on the expense of higher tickets for a better product.

Bills need to increase revenue, especially in an uncapped league. Who knows if a salary cap will be coming back in 2011 and beyond

Slowly but surely the NFL and other major sports are pricing out the average fan. But hey, gotta pay those million dollar bums somehow.

Do you really think that this increase in ticket price has any effect on anything? The ticks are going up 5-6 bucks on average heres some simple math

5 bucks a seat x 70,000 seats x 7 home games = 2.45 million dollars.


that isn't even enough money to pay one more scrub player for a season. tickets contribute nothing to what the bills bring in. its 100% tv revenue.

Re: Bills raise ticket prices

If they had gotten Cowher, or another proven coach like everybody wanted Bills fans would gladly pay higher ticket prices.

If this Gailey thing works out that $8 bucks extra a ticket will be worth it.

The only thing I know for sure is I won't be buying any more tickets untill the old fart puts a quality product on the field again. I wouldn't care if they lowered prices. The team has stunk for 10 years and no one in the FO really gives a crap about anything EXCEPT selling tickets. I'll watch the games on tv televised in my area thats it. No more NFL Sunday ticket or even going out to watch the games. I have supported them with money for 33 years and the returns have diminished steadily since the new century started.
