for 3 preseason games up to 5 years from now? The regular games don't bother me so much. But if the price I'm hearing is true, you'd have to pay $250 per ticket($500. pair) for the 3 preseason games. I don't like paying $60. for games that nobody's playing in. But to be forced to spend $1500. for 3 preseason games(more than my entire season ticket package for 2 seats) seems a bit much. Especially since these games may not be for 4 or 5 years from now. How many season ticket holders plan on doing this? Even if you get stuck up near the last row?

This past fall when Buffalo visited Pittsburgh I sat in the end zone upper deck top row and the price was $59.00 a ticket.

My recommendation for Bills season ticket holders is to relax and let Ralph do his thing in Toronto. These games are not targeted at current season ticket owners, so don't waste your hard-earned money on them. Wilson is about to suck upwards of $110 to 150 million out of suit pockets of Toronto's lemming wannabe's over the next five years, so stand back, get out of the way, enjoy the games on TV, all the while knowing this greatly solidifies the team's future in Buffalo. (Ideally, this also drops the price of season tickets for real Bills fans - a bit of a bonus). At the end of the day, this is a money grab. Wilson knows it, and the rest of the NFL knows it. I have seen no indication the NFL wants to even bother with a franchise in Canada. If so, they would have done so years ago (Toronto and its 5 million population didn't just appear overnight). They'll keep stringing Toronto along until they've maxed out the cash grab, and the Bills we be better for it.:thumbsup:
Not many will.
That is too pricey in WNY.
As someone else posted, $50k in Buffalo is like $100k in a big city, but that doesn't mean the area can afford ticket prices that the big cities charge!

Argo fans aren't gonna buy that package. Everybody thinks that because somebody has argo season tickets they are loaded. Argo season tickets are in the 200 range. These people are gonna be saying the same thing. Why should I pay a whole season for a preseason game, where the quality is LOWER then what I would be watching in a CFL game.

I will not be buying the tickets for the Toronto games.They are really soaking
us for them.In fact being a partial Blue Jays season ticket holder(20 games a season),I am not renewing those this year either.Ted Rogers wont be getting
any more of my hard earned cash.
I will renew my Bills tickets.They should be a little cheaper with 1 regular and
1 preseason game off the price.

yeah. I honestly think they are going to be in for a shock. Clearly they are marketing it towards big business in Toronto. Buy the package to write it off.

I think people are forgetting that Toronto has 5 Million people. 46K tickets are nothing to sell.
Buffalo needs 76K ticket holders in 1 millon.

That's exactly why they are playing two games in Toronto.
(for the record, I think that's too much for a ticket as well. But it's happening in every other city outside of Buffalo. Blame the new CBA)
