Tickets for Pats-Bills at Buffalo
 
I just scored tickets in row 8 at the 30 yard line.

Best seats ever for a football game for me.

Yes, the game is Dec. 28, and yes it will be freezing.

Heads-UP!

I'm sure you'll have fun at the game. This year we're not going because of the date, but the last two years our road trips to Buffalo have been awesome. It's amazing how you can get good seats there for short money (last year we were 4th row on the back of the end zone line watching Moss pull in all those TD passes for less than we pay for our season tickets up in the 300s!).

I have been to Buffalo 3 years in a row and had a lot of fun. I suggest you find a place called Duff's it is right near the stadium and has great wings and they used to have Duff beer too..though they didn't have it last year.


I am not going this year because I am going to San fran and San diego and those will be expensive.

If we are going for 16-0 again I will probably make the trip though.

I'll be up there again this year, too! I love going up to Buff (helps that they haven't beaten us since 9/6/2003!)... one of my best friends is huge Bills fans (but lives in NH)... so a bunch of us make it a point to get down to the Razor and up to Orchard Park whenever they play each other.

He's got Season Tix this year so I don't know where I'm sitting... but a few years back we actually scored front row tix right on the 20 (behind one of the replay cameras)....second best tix ever (those luxury seats at the Razor are awesome!) for me.

Fun town, fun team... they should be good this year... the game could mean something to both teams. We could be playing for homefield throughout... they could be playing for that last wildcard spot. Hopefully we are already all wrapped up and playing for nothing.... so TB doesn't even have to make the trip up. Regardless should be fun... but it'll be COLD, bro!

Well, at least the beer that will get thrown at you will be frozen before it actually hits you. :D

Have fun!

I agree on Buffalo. It is alot of fun and very reasonable. I believe they still have good seats for under $30. When we went in 2006, I was talking to a couple who's total weekend cost less than two tickets to "the Razor".

My 9 year old loves Niagra Falls so it's a fun day. Also, on Saturday, the CBS crew goes to the falls to shoot promos. Sure enough, I left my Brady jersey at the hotel so I did a bunch of the prep work but didn't get my 15 minutes.

Also, the Hampton Inn downtown was only $100 per night for the weekend. Saturday, we had a nice meal at the Buffalo Chop House.

I live up here so if anyone has questions about where to go eat, etc., let me know.

Tickets by the way have increased dramatically in price. There was a 10 to 15% increase.

Cheapest tix now are $60.

I just bought my sidelines seats though for $85 each, so... they are still very cheap for the good seats, but no more very cheap seats in the upper decks.

The Toronto thing has been a bust in Toronto so far because of the exorbitant prices that Rogers is charging, but it's been great for ticket sales for the Bills since every game except the Patriots is sold out. That's what happens when you reduce supply from 8 games to 7, and one of the 7 is after Xmas. Bills' fans have been scrambling for tickets for those remaining 6 games (all in decent weather). And that's exactly why they raised ticket prices locally.

$60 is not that bad. It is inline with the rest of the league. We were up in the 300 section toward far endzone and the view was quite good. I believe that there is only one row of luxury suites so all the upper level seats are quite good.

For some reason, Heinz Field seats seem so far from the field. It might have something to do with seating capacity and enclosing the stadium. Paul Brown (Cincy) and the Browns Stadium are totally enclosed with a closer feel to them.

Anyway, we did check out the various sections and didn't find a bad seat.

We'll be there for our 20th annual trip up. Each year we learn a new element to the point we feel like Buffalonians without the mullets.
