Jaimoe Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Interesting story today from The Buffalo News (and it's being discussed right now on McCown's show on the east and western Sportsnet feeds). Paraphrasing: The lack of VIP sales has got to be a worry. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/396229.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yup and its obviously a concern. I am on every fan club, membership or otherwise for the Bills. This is the first time since I started buying tickets that I have ever received an email or a call about buying tix. This guy Mike from the Bills is trying with everything he has to get me to buy those Toronto tix with sweet offers like free merch, upgraded seats to my regular ticketed games, a chance to win a box for the year etc.I haven't logged the calls or emails but I would estimate he has called me 5 or 6 times; and my inbox sees two or three Bills related Toronto offers every day. And I am not buying it for that much no matter what they throw at me.I'll be in front of the Rogers Center on Dec. 7 with about $100 cash in hand and fully expect to get in and have good seats. What the hell was the Toronto contigent thinking (they set the prices independent of the Bills org).....Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ted Rogers ranks a close second in arrogance (right behind MLSE) evident in his Bills to Toronto dictatorship. That Bills ticket guy sounds like the Jays ticket agent that's been calling me ever since I stopped getting flex-packs two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested in scoring tickets off craigslist or cheapos at the stadium for that game.There will be plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'll be there for sure. I am hoping to rent an RV for the game incase we can't get tix for a reasonable amount and then we'll just tailgate, watch the game and drink in the RV and tailgate post game.I am thinking of coming down for Aug 14 vs. the Steelers too. But again I won't be paying more than a reasonable amount ($50 to $70 ish).S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Well, I figure tickets for the preseason game will be going for peanuts. No tailgating in Toronto my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 What do you mean no tailgating? I was thinking the lots across the Gardiner near Queens Quay.......Maybe I won't be coming after all if you're right. Its not a Bills game without a 24 of Bud in cans and some chicken wings on my Keg-a-Q! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 There will be tail-gaiting, but it will be sponsored, naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
