NFL Football Bills in Toronto

[flame3132]

I heard that the Bills are playing this year in Toronto anyone have info on this?

Wrong forum, you'd probably find more help in the Other Sports area. As for the game, they're having alot of trouble selling out, mostly because the ticket prices are damn near Super Bowl prices. Personally I'd rather just travel the extra four hours and go to a game right in Buffalo, at least that way you'd get to experience a real NFL atmosphere(eg. tailgating). Guaranteed Toronto will have none of that.

caught something on one of those radio TV shows yesterday, they said they were charging 5 times as much for tickets as they do in Buffalo.

Bills owners must be wrongly assuming that everyone in Canada has lots of money.

Exactly. Not to mention the fact that Buffalo is a only about a 4 hour drive from Toronto. Why pay those astronomical prices to sit in what I'm guessing will be an atmosphere that will pale to any NFL experience when you could just take a day trip down to a game in Buffalo? The organizers badly misread the market when they set this up.

If I'm going to pay those kinds of prices, I better be seein LT, Brady, Manning, etc. The funniest part of this whole thing is that they're asking ridiculous amounts of money from fans so they can pay to see the Dolphins...

Yeah, they must think that they can elimate their loses with 2 games in Toronto a year (or whatever it works out to). Why not just try to charge the same amount as they do in Buffalo and see what happens? If it sells out and there is high demand, jack the price.

Toronto is only about 2 hours tops away from Buffalo.

Ya I've only been to Toronto once, I was just makin an educated guess. Even better(and even more ridiculous that they're chargin that much). That's like holding a Flames/Oilers game in Red Deer and charging Stanley Cup Finals-prices for tix.
