Jets and Bills season ticket holders will get an opportunity to get tickets on Friday, while the general public can acquire tickets online starting on Saturday.
And while free tickets are a great gesture, the Lions have something even more generous lined up for the special Monday game. The team will hold a 50/50 raffle on Monday, and the proceeds will go towards the American Red Cross of Western and Central New York Disaster Relief Fund. Previous raffles held by the Lions have averaged about $100,000 each according to ESPN.
The NFL had announced that the game, which was originally supposed to be played in Buffalo on Sunday, had to be moved to Detroit for a Monday night game due to the tons and tons of snow which have blanketed the Buffalo area.
