    Game in Toronto: Sold Out?

    Is this game in danger of being blacked out, or is it a sell out? I haven't heard anything.

    I dont think the Toronto games can be blacked out locally for Buffalo. I may be wrong on this, though.

    I heard a figure of 30,000 tickets sold, but can't vouch for the reliability of the number.

    Rogers technically buys the tickets so the game is sold out, but in name only

    They should give me a pair for being a loyal customer for the past several years.

    You are correct. All the tickets have been sold by the Bills to Rogers who has the right to resell (which they are doing a horrible job at).

    Re: Game in Toronto: Sold Out?

    Allegedly you can get a free ticket just by hanging around the Rogers Centre on game day. We can go around the block with all the reasons why. Rogers grossly overpriced the tickets to start, but having the Bills be this bad didn't help. In the long run these games will help keep the Bills in the WNY area, so quit whining.

    When everyone see all the empty seats on Sunday, remember that when you hear, "The Bills are moving to Toronto!"

    1) Bad team
    2) Rip off prices
    3) Not their own team.

    Other than that you are right.

    If the Bills moved, they would flop in Toronto. Toronto doesn't care. This is a novelty. They have the CFL. That's why the talk of moving to Toronto is completely asinine.

    Re: Game in Toronto: Sold Out?

    Doing some research on the Toronto series for my show yesterday, I read that the Bills Toronto series are the only games not subject to NFL blackout rules.

    I believe, as others have said, the games are all technically sold out from the start.
