dallas silent count at home - bills related

[trapezeus]

for all the people who insist that buffalo can't deal with a new stadium because of the PSLs, look at what PSL's have done to Dallas. Fans are selling their seats to opposing teams to recoup costs. Dallas is perpetually playing away games. they went to a silent count at home because of texan fans. the 49er game was about 50% SF fans.

I wonder if the NFL is paying attention to this trend. and i wonder if they care.

the PSL's don't sell well in NYC for Jets games, the unintended consequence in Dallas is that season ticket holders sell their tickets.

perhaps by the time the bills role around, a PSL will not occur in buffalo.

just food for thought. feel free to disagree.

ummm. Too many Texans fans at a Cowboys game is totally different than too many Miami fans or Bucs fans there.

Re: dallas silent count at home - bills related

true, but same thing happened with 49ers at dallas to start the season. just curious that what is supposed to be big market, has so many tickets being sold to opposing team fans.

i'd like to see how it plays out over the season. perhaps dallas fans just want to get to the playoffs and then show up, so they sell their tickets to regular season games. but two home games in a row have had a big differential against their own fans. i've never seen a home team in their real stadium have to go to a silent count.

Jerry wanted to build a Taj Mahal & he had his fans help fund it.

Jerry has no one but himself to blame for this.

Minnesota will also have PSL's, but they will be much more affordable.

Man I live in San Antonio now and this whole region was going crazy for that game. It's understandable that half the stadium was Texans fans.

Lets wait and see before we freak out. Maybe they won't have them or maybe they won't be insanely expensive.

I'd be willing to bet that a lot of those fans that sold their tickets sold them before the season started when everyone was pretty down on the Cowboys. I think some of those fans would have kept their tickets if they knew the Cowboys were going to look better than people thought and be winning. Either way, it's still has to be pretty embarrassing for the Cowboys and incredibly annoying for the Cowboy fans that do attend the game. I can't blame anyone for selling their tickets though. Those prices are outrageous.

It is absolutely disgusting behaviour by Dallas fans to sell their tickets to the opposition.

That would never happen in Buffalo.

Except for Sabre fans selling to Leaf fans.

HAHA so true!!!

Although homefield is much more important in football and there are only 8 games.

Re: dallas silent count at home - bills related

i'm not passing judgement on it. i just think if the trend holds, the PSL that a douchebag owner charged may put his team on the road perpetually. and fans who think "i'll catch it in the post season, might not have a team in post season."

i like little consequences like these in life. i just hope it holds.

Re: dallas silent count at home - bills related

I agree. PSLs open the door for more opposing fans to attend games. If a season ticket holder moves or cannot afford season tickets anymore one has to sell their PSL in order to stop buying season tickets or else they lose the cost of their PSL. Thus many just sell them on the stub hub or ticketexchange to unload them often at a profit depending on the market. It's legal to sell tickets online for a profit in most if not all states.
I have season tickets to Panthers where they have PSLs and many more opposing team fans attend games than I ever saw in Buffalo. If Buffalo introduces PSLs you will see many more fans attend games in Buffalo.

Why worry about PSLs?

Sugar Daddy Terry won't introduce them and keep giving charity to poor Bills fans.

I have found this trend to be kind of comical over the last couple of seasons...for years scalpers were the scourge of the NFL, gouging poor fans for the simple pleasure of attending a game. But now, the NFL has an official scalping website, and even pours money into advertising to steer fans in their direction. If you can't beat them, join them, I guess.

Re: dallas silent count at home - bills related

I really don't understand what is being said here. I believe were there no PSL the stadium would still be full for those games with opposing teams fans. That's really the thing that has to be measured here...because if the market was to remain the same the money would just be going into the hands of consumers making a profit off the team instead of the people in business to make a profit from the team.
