Season tickets for the Buffalo Bills will rise by 10% on average in 2024.

Bills season tickets to increase by average of 10% in 2024

In terms of season tickets sold, the Buffalo Bills keep setting records.
In 2023, the team sold 63,767 season tickets, setting a new record for the most in franchise history. This represents an increase from 62,302 in 2022.

The new Bills stadium will use about 60% New York steel.
It is reasonable to conclude that fan interest in the team is at an all-time high.
Vice president of ticket sales and customer service for the Bills Chris Colleary stated, “It’s really just amazing and a true testament of how great our fans are.”

The Bills revealed in an exclusive interview with The Buffalo News on Wednesday that the average cost of a season ticket will rise by 10% for the 2024 season, as increased expenditures are inevitable with such demand. An additional game will be introduced in 2024 as a result of the increase. The Bills have increased the number of games they will host at Highmark Stadium from nine in 2023 (one preseason game and eight regular season games) to ten in 2024 (two preseason games and eight regular season games).

As a result, the price per game typically stays the same but the cost of the entire package goes up due to the additional game. The 10-game general admission package costs an average of $1,146, with prices ranging from $611 to $2,056, according to data provided to The News. Club packages are priced from $2,150 to $5,307, with an average of $3,180.

According to Colleary, the team has set a self-imposed cap of 64,000 for the season ticket base, which will rise to that amount in 2024. Last year, the Bills achieved an impressive 97% season ticket renewal rate. There is a waiting list at the club for season passes. Colleary stated that the waiting list is “much” larger than it was the previous season, when there were 6,000 individuals on it, but she did not disclose the precise amount.

Season tickets continue to be the most economical method to witness a game, despite their constant increase in price. The Bills claim that the average cost of a single-game ticket was 77% higher than the price of a season ticket, and the average price of a secondary market ticket was 88% higher than the price of a season ticket.

“Single-game pricing has been significantly higher because of demand, and there is not as many single-game tickets available because of the large season ticket number,” Colleary said.

The Bills have about 15,000 season ticket holders. In 2015, the team stopped selling season tickets to people out of state and started to put a limit of six on the number of season tickets fans could purchase. Those who purchased season tickets prior to 2015 were not limited to the number of seats that they could buy, but that will change when the team’s new stadium opens. At that point, all season ticket holders will be limited to six seats.
The Bills plan to use that as one explanation for the lower seating capacity in their new stadium. Highmark Stadium can hold 70,109 people in total, but standing room only, views that are obstructed, and seats that abide by the Americans with Disabilities Act make up a larger portion of the real seating capacity. Last year, the Bills averaged 70,615 people at their nine home games (including the one preseason game). It is anticipated that the new stadium will hold somewhat more than 60,000 spectators, and with standing room only, that number might rise to roughly 63,000.
