Buffalo MNF game

[Jarv]

First off, its called highway robbery. The stadium and the team are the ones that are selling a product, not a guy in the parking lot or some low rent ticket broker.

spare me your insults. I dont know anything about hemi cudas and I wasnt alive in 1970.

If you like being robbed for something then that speaks to your intelligence level, Grandpa.

I've bought scalped tickets to big events on the cheap, much less than face value. Got to a Yankee game late once (NY Traffic ). Got front row loge seats for $5 each in the middle of the 1st inning. That taught me a lesson.

In the 7th the Yankees were up 9-2 and we left and beat the traffic, heck at $5 it was worth it to get there a little late and leave a little early.

Not that I would do that intentually at a Cowboys game.

So in that respect it can work the other way. People eat some tickets so they have to make that up at the other end too.

One of my private computer customers is a ticket agency, they buy...markup, and sell tickets. Thats how they make money. 3 days a week I consult for a comodities trading firm. They buy sugar in Brazil and sell it in Europe, North America and Hong Kong. They buy the sugar, mark it up and sell it. Thats how they make money.

What is the difference ? Neither creates the product, they both buy in quanity, mark it up and resell the product, like a grocery store does.

It's called capitolism, sonny.

Actually, it's called capitalism....sweet cheeks.

There are only 8 home games for fans to go to. Some fans cant afford to buy season tickets at face value. WHy should they be punished? Brokers buy up every available ticket and they are never even available to the fan who can only go to one or two games.

Its not a commodity, its not a stock. its a ticket, there are only 8 games.

Why do some fans get to pay 40 dollars from the team the way it should be and some have to pay 300 for the same seat? Its wrong.

If the brokers were just buying seats no one wanted and then passing them on that is one thing, but they buy everything they can get there hands on at the same time or before the regular fans can. The league is about the fans, not some slimy ticket brokers.

the nfl allowing this activity is a travesty. I just looked at stubhub and saw the tickets for the bills cowboys game, the 42 dollar rock pile seats are selling for 125 bucks. Its ridiculous, common fans havent even had a chance to buy these seats yet and they never will unless they go to a broker and get robbed.

Its a joke to me, I hate that so many are so passive about it and call it capitalism, or supply and demand, when the whole process is ruined because fans never get the opportunity to get these individual game tickets from the team themselves because the brokers buy them all first.

It makes me sick and I despise the people who do this for a living.

I have season tickets. When I dont have someone to go with me I go to the stadium and sell the ticket to the first person that will give me face value, because that is what it is worth. I dont know how other people sleep at night selling people 42 dollar seats for 125 bucks, when they shouldnt even have them in the first place.

You fail at being American.

Who says a seat at an event is worth 42 dollars in the first place? Who says a gold watch is worth a thousand dollars? Who says a gallon of gas is worth $2.80? Who says a 5 minute lap dance is worth 20 bucks?

The consumer.

If you hate the people who sell seats for 125 bucks then you should hate yourself for paying 42 bucks to sit in an uncomfortable seat surrounded by drunk, blue collar, redneck plebs for 3 hours just to watch a bunch of guys fight over a ball.

OK, I hate to interfere with a good argument but it appears that there isn't huge interest in this but enough to justify going forward.

I'm getting 14 tickets to the M&T Bank club.


DannyWhite is getting 4.

Jay-D is getting 2.

2 are mine.


I think HomeofLegend wants 3 but I'm not sure.


I think some others here are interested but I'm willing to eat the others if no one claims them.

If you're 100% sure you want to join us, please let me know soon.

Thanks.


As a side note, as Winicki said, Western NY in October is hard to beat.

Don't qoute me but I believe the passport requirements to reenter the US from Canada go into effect in January so this will be one of the last chances to see the Falls from the Canuckian side or drink real Labatts w/o a passport.

If anyone's interested in making a long weekend of it and going on a winery tour on Saturday or Sunday, let me know. We'll even yell downstairs for someone to drag Hostile out of Peppermints to make an appearence.

If you do get stuck with extras, let me know and I might be able to find some people to take them off your hands. Two of the people I'm going with have family in Buffalo.

You guarantee me someone will babysit my wife and son and we can go to Sundowners I'm in!

What a worthless post. The team and the stadium say its worth 42 bucks.

I didnt know I was amongst such a high class citizen like yourself.

I consider myself and enjoy more than anything being in the crowd with the blue collar fans. Like me.

Seeing that I have never seen you post before, especially on a football topic, I am just going to forget about this because I have zero respect for u anyway.

So you go sit with the wine sipping, get out and beat the traffic crowd. I will enjoy my cowboys season tickets with the rest of the blue collar real football fans, like the woman and her husband who have season tickets 3 rows ahead of me, they have been to every cowboys home game since 1971. I will enjoy there company and the other people in my section who I talk to at each game.

Enjoy your heated wine and cheese 300 dollar ticket. I will find a ticket for face to that bills game.

Well when you're puttin' some one down for their opinion you come off as pretty ignorant when you use a non existant term...skippy.

Kind of like saying 'man are you dumm or wut?"

I could take you guys into Niagara Falls, Canada, it would blow your mind.

As a fellow Canadian....are u talking about the view?.....or the strip joints?

I have a friend in Stoney Creek and we usually have a SB bash every year in Niagara falls....it gets pretty dangerous....

Just a bunch of old men having a great time.....getting drunk.....knowing that its our little get together before going back to the grind of working ....kids...etc.....

Even tho Im not a big fan of Rich Stadium...we also try to make it habit to go to at least one Bills game a year......its alot of fun.....been waiting for this Cowboy game a long time........now Monday nite ...its going to be even more exciting.

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

There is a big difference in American vs. Canadian strip joints. Even just some of the clubs in NF's are really good. Canadian beer+Canadian women!!
Worst case scenario is spending some time at the casino playing some hold em.

They allow you to play "hold em" at Canadian strip clubs?

Oh wait, I think I misunderstood something in the translation.

Since the Canadian drinking age was only 19, we used to gather groups who had birthdays around the same time and make a run North for strippers and beer. Big difference between the real Canadian beer and the stuff they ship to us, or at least there was at the time.
