[WECK gives UB lots of love but nobody listens to them.  The latest ratings have WGR at a 3.7 and WECK at a 0.5.

I am shocked that WGR does not jump all over UB.  If the Bills were ever to leave, the station would have to close.  Conversley, the station I guarantee is saying that the callers do not want to talk UB when they can talk Bills.  After the last couple of years, if the subject is raised they will get calls.  WGR needs to start showing UB some love.  Thank you to WECK for all that they try to do, just not enough.

Another thing is that the ticket pricing structure is out of whack.  Individual game tickets are on sale and its $30 per seat/$10 for kids and seniors.  $30? for general admission seating.  A family of four, is looking at $80 dollars just to get in the game, add on consessions, $100.  Way too much, especially for bleacher endzone seating.  For one game they are paying almost 63% of my season ticket cost for 6 games.  Thats crazy.  Especially during a time when most house holds are struggling to make ends meet.  And its from this pool is where your wanting to attract the most fans.

You are comparing apples and oranges.  You are looking at the cost of a family of four for one and comparing it to the cost of your season ticket.  If you multiply your cost by four that would make the one game experience about 16% of the cost of your ticket.  That would bring it exactly in line with your cost.  Each game is 16.67% of your full package.

Thank you for your great wealth of fruit knowledge.  What I was trying to say, And I didnt make it clear enough, my mistake, that for a family of four to come to one game, "To give UB a shot" if you will, they are going to be paying 63% of what I pay for my entire 6 game season ticket.  I have already "bought in", the people that Im using as an example havent yet.  Of course if they did, then your scenario is applicable.  Its the one time thing is the message I was trying to get across.

What UB ought to consider is a family package: two adult tickets and two kids tickets, or any combo of adult and kids tickets, at a heavily discounted price.  Maybe throw in souvenir or some concession scrip.  Keep the price around $50.  Maybe offer that package for one game; a weekend game early in the season.

Exactly.  Keep it cheap enough for the people who just want to get their feet wet.  Its up to the team and us, as "registered" UB fans to keep them coming back.  However, I still think $30 dollars is awfully expensive for the endzone bleacher seating.  For my seat, $30 dollars is a great price, but not out there.

If you kids are  young enough (under 5) they go free.

There will be a family package released very soon..
but also new this year is the Rookie Fan Plan:

I could not agree more.  Those seats should be $9.

I got in in 2006 when they had the "4 seasons for $120 + $20 in food" deal.  Once your in they raise the price yearly but not by that much. Still a great deal, but no more free food.
