Did you read this?

As the Bills continue to search for a new head coach, a team official said this week a decision has not been made on whether prices will increase for 2004.

Why would they even be considering raising the prices? We were 6-10! That's insane.

They had a price increase rather recently. I doubt we'd have one again this soon.

When you are in the bottom 10-15% in prices for the entire league- a price increase is always a consideration.


Just a minute ago you posted a thread lamenting the Bills being super-cheap with coaches. This article posted says we have one of the cheapest seats in the league.

What is it going to be? Ya gotta make money to spend money. If that bothers you that they are mulling over an increase, don't complain about the Bills spending less on a head coach.

I agree, Dozer...but I expect our next increase to take place next year. Season ticket holders may, however, get an increase this year. In my section, we save $8 per ticket off the face value and our rate didn't go up with general sales prices.

The cheapest ticket at Gillette is almost $70- plus it cost almost double to park their too.
