Re: Is the blackout official yet?
Still 13,000 tickets left unsold. It's about as certain as the sun setting this afternoon the tickets will not be sold in the next 30 minutes. LOL
Who would pay anyways to see two teams as poor as these, with ZERO post-season prospects, play? There's nothing at stake.
This lowly cart.... it hits harder and has a higher yards
per play average than the Bills' offense!

Re: Is the blackout official yet?
I'm picturing Ralph at his home in Detroit telling Littman and his wife:
"Maybe I'll buy 'em out and give 'em to the kiddies for Christmas. I'll bet OJ gets 200 yards in this one. Maybe this is the year we'll break the streak!"

Re: Is the blackout official yet?
just got a text that it will be blacked out. and once i read it, it made me furious. A HOME GAME AGAINST MIAMI doesn't sell out after the start we had. THAT IS A DISGRACE and it's solely on Ralph Wilson and the Bills organization.My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.

By the way Ralph donated a couple thousand tickets to military personnel, the cheap bastard!

Why didn't they do that for the Tennessee game, a game that actually had meaning?
Also makes me wonder what the military people did wrong to be punished with Bills/Dolphins tickets.

Originally posted by BLeonardCome on, it didn't cost him anything to donate the tix. If nothing else, it's a PR move and they'll get cash from parking, concessions, etc that they wouldn't have before.

Ultimately Ralph Wilson Jr. has lead this team into the gutter with his mismanagement, meddling, and poor personnel decisions. That is undeniable - look at the way this team has been run over the last 15 years.
If NYS provides money to fund and subsidize Wilson's highly lucrative business venture make even MORE money, then the taxpayers of our state are entitled to a degree of oversight over the way that Wilson mis-manages this team. He's clearly too old and incapable of making high level decisions for this team. And what negatively impacts the Buffalo Bills, also negatively impacts local businesses and others in the community. Therefore if taxpayer funds are spent, taxpayers are completely entitled to oversight.

Also, since you wanted to talk about facts, they can buy them at 34 cents on the dollar, so it's 34%, not 40%.
Finally, as I stated before, the people that get the tickets will most likley spend money in the form of parking, concessions and souvenirs. I'm again willing to bet that the people that got the free tix will end up forking over more money by the end of the day than Ralph did to buy the tix at a discounted rate. Which means a profit.
Ask yourself: Why would he only buy some of the tickets as the game is still going to be blacked out?
My answer: They are still hoping to get some walk up sales (at a higher price than the 34% they paid for the donated tix) and Ralph likley has a guy in the front office that said "Hey, we can buy up a portion of the tix, donate them, create good PR while still turning a profit, as those fans receiving the tix will buy stuff (which of course, won't be discounted)." I'd about guarantee that they have numbers on how much on average each fan in the stands spends during the course of the game.
Again, if it was all just out of the goodness of Ralph's heart, why didn't they do something similar for the Tennessee game, because that game actually still meant something at the time?
Hell, Russ Brandon said that buying up tix would "devalue the product." If it devalues it so much, why do it now?
