-If you are a season ticket holder you at least get a chance to get a ticket to the game...and if its going to be 1 reg season game a year...that to me seems like a blast...go down there the night before hit up youngs street and then u got the game the next day...
-Also you people fail to realize that if the Bills do move...wouldnt u want it to be Toronto or to Los Angeles or some other city...i vote Toronto.
-And whats the problem expanding our market? Maybe if we do we can afford to sign a big name player once in a while...
Relax its 1 reg season gm a year...bills season ticket holders will at least get to go...but if u dont have season tickets i guess that does suck lol

have you seen how much they cost ??? around 250 a piece and you have to buy all 8 games as a package... like 2 grand for those tix ... as a college student who can barely afford my seasons now ... not a chance man...

There's everything wrong with having a game in Toronto.....whatever happened to tradition? Guess we aren't giving that much thought.

Any idea what it costs to "party in Toronto"? You can't get a decent hotel room (one that you won't get stabbed or shot in) for anything less than $250-$300 night, if you're lucky. Dinner for two in downtown Toronto? Unless you're eating at McDonalds, good luck finding dinner for two for anywhere less than $75. There's no cheap wing joints, no cheap pubs. No place to park an RV, and no place to tailgate (public tailgating is illegal in Ontario). Any tailgates will be like they had for the CFL championship game in November - a fenced off area outside the stadium where you had to buy $8 cans of beer and $7 sausages. Quick calculation for two Bills fans travelling to Toronto for a Bills game: Tix ($500) plus hotel ($300) plus parking ($30) plus food and drink ($200) plus "corporate tailgating" ($50) plus beer in the stadium (4 @$11 =$44) plus gas from/to Buffalo ($50) plus border tolls ($5) plus misc. expenses ($25) = $1,204. Should be a blast! Going up and returning on gameday: $679. Wow - when do tickets go on sale! :bleh:

Good point. Also, if they are quoting a price of $250 per ticket, add another $50 for ticketmaster fees, stadium fees, and taxes.

yeah man take the tix for 250 a piece and jack the prices up so no bills fans have the money to afford them and give them all to the Canadians

no offense to the canadians but at least hope they take the crappy games off our hands.
