Buffalo Bills v Steelers in Toronto Aug 14

[heavy_duty]

Pre season game
tickets $250.00 - $575.00 each......EACH!!!

teams not sending "best players"

stupid people of Toronto are gonna sell out the game at 50,000 and pay that price



no free drinks or food for that price either

oh yah...different laws in Ontario regarding "tail-gate" party too.

Simply put, the only way Toronto could showcase itself to the NFL was by buying dates from Buffalo, which understandably came at a premium price. And from the very start, the math should have been simple. By agreeing to pay the Bills $9.75-million a game, and with 54,000 seats to sell at Rogers Centre, tickets to see the Bills had to average roughly $200 each just for the operation to break even at the gate.

I wouldn't pay $500 to go to a football game if I got to have an orgy with the cheerleaders.

Here in New Jersey, they are reducing the time fans are allowed to tailgate @ a Giants or Jets game this year from 7 hours to 5.....

5 hours of tailgating? I thought I was a loser.

Yeah it's a joke. People are all excited while they are paying their $200 for a seat when they don't realize they could buy season's tickets for $400 US if they bothered to actually drive to Buffalo (2 hour drive). Plus then they get to tailgate properly instead of paying Rogers to attend a "VIP Tailgate party" at $6 a beer.

Same city that sells out Maple Leaf games at $150 a seat when our team sucks every year.

pretty sad eh?
who knows maybe scalpers will be selling $50.00 after the game starts.

 

[calveless wonder]

for a preseason game? wow....thats just fuckin absurd

It's stupid. If the NFL can't see that Toronto is a better market for a franchise than Buffalo without making the city jump through hoops to 'prove themselves', they're morons.
