Buffalo Bills season ticket holders have been informed that they’ll be charged between $15,000 to $50,000 for personal seat licenses for the right to even purchase seats in the stadium, and government officials are not happy about the decision or the lack of transparency from the Bills.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz called out the Buffalo Bills for not publicizing or announcing what the PSL prices would be for all of the seats and providing at least some information to people wanting to buy seats. He also made it clear that he isn’t the only one in the government upset by this – New York Governor Kathy Hochul isn’t happy, either.
“I actually let representatives of the Bills and Legends – which is the sub-agent that’s actually selling the PSLs – know, in no unconditional terms, that I found it, first off, very upsetting that they would not announce what the PSL prices were for all the seats,” Poloncarz said according to WIVB. “I’ve talked to the Governor about this, she’s very concerned as well. Whatever they sell it at, they have a right to do that, but they should at least publicize what the planned PSLs are for all of the seats. So if someone who wants to still attend games but can’t afford a $25,000 PSL, but maybe could afford a $5,000 PSL, could buy those tickets. But right now, they have no idea. And it’s wrong.”
We’ll have to see how the Bills handle this situation, but it’s pretty clear that they’ve angered some pretty powerful people.
