Ravens @ Bills - group tickets

**Mista T** · 05-23-2007, 03:52 PM

Several memebers had expressed interest in a group thingy, but there's been an underwhelming response since I established a firm schedule on a group ticket buy. Please check out:

If I haven't received responses (i.e. checks) to acquire the 15 minimum for group tickets by May 31st, we'll down the Buffalo trip.

Thanks!

With all of the great cities we play in this year (San Diego, San Fran, Miami), why go to Buffalo?

San Diego: Thanksgiving

Miami: "been there, done that" a few times (and likely doing it again)

San Fran: yes -- our last visit until 2015-- but tickets are expensive & challenging

Buffalo: cheap & easy to obtain tickets. Driveable for those who don't want the $39, 45-minute flight. All away games aren't in the Sunbelt!

Do they offer groups in the lower level or only in the upper level? I will be going to the game but I will seat in the lower level only. If it's possible to get a group of 15 in the lower level count me in if not I will purchase through ebay or stubhub, etc...

Upper only.

A group of our people are taking a bus up. Apparently there is gambling to be had up there, and this is part of the attraction.

If I had a chance to go anywhere this yr, I'd do San Fran on Seattle.

RM: I'll be doing both -- so if you go, let's hook up. However, I don't see the opportunity for San Fran or Seattle group tickets at or below face value -- as in Buffalo -- so, unless anyone else has contacts for group tickets at either stadium, we'll just address tailgating, air fares, etc. for SF and Seattle in the late Summer or Fall, in the Road Trips Forum.

There is at least one local organized group doing a full-service trip to SF: board sponsor www.ravenstrips.com. I haven't heard of any group doing a Seattle organized trip.

T-
I am probably going to go to Buffalo but I can't commit this early. Sorry about that. I'm going through some issues at home and I can't be sure that I'll have the money or time to do it at this point. I do still plan on going so if you don't go through with the group buy please call me before you buy tix so we can sit together. You know how to reach me.

Hope to hook up with some of yoos in those cities.

Trap, if I'm still around, I'll hook up with "yoos" for the next NO trip ...... scheduled for Autumn, 2014. (If the Saints are still playing in 7 years)

"Tad early" -- you are a bit confused

Training camp opens July 29th. The cut-off date for Bills group tickets is June 9th. There will be no Bills group ticket availability by the time of Ravens training camp. On the Bills official site survey, the Ravens game is voted the 2nd most popular, and the Bills ticket office predicts a sell-out. If you wait until TC to pay attention, you would likely be left with brokers' tickets at double to triple the cost.

Capice?

btw, as to why the focus on Buffalo in April/May: The Bills game will be only the 2nd time in 12 seasons that there will be a road trip available to Ravens fans who wants to sit together in face-value group tickets at a stadium that is within 1/2 day driving distance. The other being the Charlotte 2002 game. Every other East Coast away game has been at sold out stadia not offering group seats at face value. Many cannot afford flying, or fear flying, or cannot devote a weeknd trip, or don't want to spend broker's fees or go through group tour organizers, or don't want to sit in isolation.

I'd love to T, I have a 1 yr old and I just don't see it happening. I get a hard enough time w/the Sunday home games. I just love SF, I only spent a day in Seattle on business and flew to Vancouver. Just an absolutely beautiful view w/the mountains nearby. I hope you guys get a chance to spend some time in the city while you are there. I'm really envious of you.

Buffalo (Orchard Park) a great tailgate. Its in the middle of no where and does take a long time to get out of. Parking is around the stadium and in front yards. Niagara Falls Canada has the best gentlemen clubs

**PD101** · 05-28-2007, 06:31 AM

Ted, my wife and I are going to SF to visit our daughter and see the game. I assume the 49er's don't do group tickets. E bay already has some games tickets listed is that the way to go?

**Mista T** · 05-28-2007, 08:59 AM

PD - the 49rs do sell group tickets, with a big catch. You must buy their "Premium" Group Tickets, which includes food and drink at their "Alumni Tailgate Party Pavilion". These get you lower end zone seats for $150.
