No word yet if the acquisition of T.O. by the Bills is a reason for the devalued product.
Last year was the first year of a 5-year 8-game agreement between the Buffalo Bills to play a mix of their pre-season and regular season games in Toronto's Rogers Centre (formerly SkyDome). The Bills' Canadian excursion was hardly a glowing success, ticket sales were lower than expected chiefly because of the fattened ticket prices Toronto organizers were charging. The negative voices have been heard and as a result Toronto organizer are now lowering ticket prices for year 2.
According to reports, the average costs of tickets will decrease by 17%.
"Of the approximately 54,000 seats that the Rogers Centre has for football, about 36,000 will be cheaper than they were last year, when the Bills broke down the border for a regular-season game in Toronto against the Miami Dolphins after playing the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Rogers Centre in a pre-season game.
Ticket prices will range from $99-$275, but VIP seats will be $495. Last year, there were 4,700 tickets that were less than $100. For the game this season, more than 11,000 tickets will be available for under $100. "
