Last winter, I decided I was going to try and buy tickets to a Bills game right before Christmas so I could attend with our sons Joe and Ben.
Three decent tickets with taxes and fees were going to run about $800. That’s insane. We watched on TV instead.
It’s even worse now. 2 upper deck seats, midfield $651. Two games would be $1302 (before taxes and fees) for a couple upcoming games. Throw in parking and a beer and it's easily $750 a person.
I decided to go another route. Hey, if the Bills are out of reach, why not Sabres. Two tickets for 11 games in the nosebleeds. $1,482.
Let’s see: What’s a better value? $134 per game or $651? Maybe I’ll save my money and take a walk by the river instead. Then again, 2 tickets for Fuzzy and the Rustbelts were $18 each. That seems like a better option.
Better yet, the Blues Festival tonight and Saturday is free on Old Falls Street. This is the 14th year and it promises to be great as always.
Sunny, with a high of 48 and low of 36 degrees. Clear for the morning, overcast in the afternoon, clear for the evening,
