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

So What Does Russ Sell to New Season Ticket Holders This Year?
Yet we are getting Black Outs and need to manufacturer sell outs for all but the games in September.
I suspect that some folks are getting tired of the crudity that is the norm at NFL games. Non-stop ear-splitting noise, can't sit down because of all the standers all game long, concession beer that run to $150 a case on the outside, 35 cents worth of hot dog and bun shoved past the lips and down the throat for 3 or 4 bucks, and that feeling of incipient physical violence in, at, or leaving a stadium
Recently, there have been numerous incidents of serious and deadly violence connected with NFL games. In towns and cities, establishments, bars (and the NFL runs bar) get shut down because of repeated violent incidents.

This only happening in Buffalo? I believe we have had the most Black Outs of any NFL city the past 5 years.
And for the homers who are going to tell me other cities tarp up some of their seats to achieve sell outs what besides Ralph's creed is preventing him from doing the same?
Re: So What Does Russ Sell to New Season Ticket Holders This Year?
Add this to the crap that takes place in and around a stadium on game day...
..."It's a shame how the NFL blackmails cities into sellouts when they already cash the TV money check." What's a shame is that the taxpayers subsidized the stadiums in Indianapolis and Cincinnati and paid for the renovations to Lambeau Field. Now there's a chance they will be blacked out.
Sports have got to be the only business where the consumer gets blamed for poor sales. Any other business, we'd look at the numbers and say, "Well, their price point is too high,'' or "The service stinks,'' or "They don't carry a good selection of inventory." And it's ridiculous. NFL fans are the most loyal fans we have in this country. If they're not purchasing playoff tickets, that tells me it's an NFL problem, not an Indy/Cincy/Green Bay problem."...
No, the possibility of a blackout is not an embarrassment for the city of Indianapolis, any more than it's an embarrassment for Cincinnati or Green Bay (which has sold out every game since 1959, except for a 1983 playoff game during the strike-shortened year).
We are fast-failing society.

A stadium with over 70,000 seats, one of the lowest average ticket costs in the league, and a declining population is preventing him from doing the same.
Ralph needs high volume at a low price in this market.
If the Bills had a 60,000 seat capacity stadium, the last television blackout in Buffalo would have been in the early 1980's.
