SwampD Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I wonder what the context was for that comment, cuz, thats pretty wierd. Is it over the season ticket interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 We need context. She may be speaking specifically about STH data, or something like that. Which, consistent with what was discussed earlier this week in another thread, is almost certainly true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Relative to what? The number of people who "cheer for" both teams has to have significant overlap. Wonder if she's talking about season ticket holders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I would bet the same is true for every market that has both an NFL and NhL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) She may be right, when it comes to live attendance (not just STHs, either). I've probably been to 10 Bills games in my life. Maybe even fewer. I like watching them on TV, though. I've also never bought any Bills "stuff" like shirts or hats or whatever for myself.

Yep, that makes sense and I'd be surprised if it's far off (other than corporate buyers). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Umm There is one Bills Game a Week and three to four Sabres Games and they usually overlap two maybe three times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but people still only have so much time and so many dollars. Here's another example: I post on TBD about twice a year. You people wish I posted here only that often. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea same here. I’ve been to that stadium three times. Once was a concert. Once was a Bills game (during Jim Kelly era). Once was for the Winter Classic. I own no Bills gear. Not one. Yet, I’ve been a Sabres STH since 2004. Is there a lot of crossover interest in both teams? Absolutely! is there a lot of crossover buying Season tickets for both teams. I would imagine not many at all. It’s probably under 2,000 accounts have both season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more than just season ticket holders and the Sabres only sold 1/4 of their tickets. How's she measuring that 10%? I'm guessing she took the 60k Bills seasons and then crossed it over with the maybe 7k Sabres. Or is she really telling me only 1k Sabres seasons ticket holders also have Bills tickets?

Not sure what you're saying. It just sounds to me like she's into the numbers/data pretty good, and has concluded that, from a money standpoint, the two entities do not actually cross over that much. As someone who is frequently at the stadium and arena, that is consistent with my sense of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
