I think $50 is pretty steep. 

We took a tour of Fenway Park in Boston a couple years ago (you know, Boston, the city where everything is supposed to be really expensive), it was in the $20-$25 range when we took it, and It was a bit over an hour..concourses, green monster seats, rooftop gardens, press box, behind home plate, etc.

Fenway has a base tour of $30 but does offer a more extensive tour for $75.

Like I said we went maybe 2 years ago and it was in the 20s

The more I think about it, Terry should be thinking about $50 as the cover charge. Once inside, tour "members" can be charged for individual Experiences. Everything, really. Use the new trough urinals: $25 per minute (purchase Extra Large Tims for $14.99 at the gate for a Best Experience). Hey, water ain't free and someone has to clean them. I would also have CPARE (Corporate Protection and Resource Engagement) forcibly eject (and detain in the old fieldhouse) anyone who yells Hey Ey Ey Ey! without a special Brand Identity chip purchased upon entry. The chip will detect and measure the Eys. Three Eys will be $100, with each additional Ey $50, charged to a payment method on file. Ey, folks, it's 2026. This is how we (they) do it. These are good people who are giving you a once in a lifetime moment. Thank them on the way out. Or be charged a Non Appreciation Fee.

There are two tours offered.  The less expensive one is $50.  Legends (not Pegula) has to pay people to check whether you're hiding a bomb in Section 112 and also has to pay people to take you around.

Experiences cost money.  I'm not sure what's controversial here, other than people thinking that because Erie County and NYS paid about 35% of construction costs, tours should be free.  

It's really just PA bitching about the Pegulas again.

Not at all. I applaud them for keeping it affordable. It's only $200 for a family of four. That's a cheap portion of a late afternoon out.

I am hearing Terry could have hugely monetized the thing by requiring Members to wear Pegula Peeper Glasses that would have charged for any Special Proprietary Views (50 yard line, end zones, Bills bench, any Bills logo etc.) PPG was on board. The things would have been emblazoned with the PPG logo. Terry and the PPG CEO go way back and even play Thin the Herd, Live Forever on Red and Extract the Amniotic sims together. Alas Terry was bullied for wearing glasses in elementary school in Scranton, and it was all too painful for him. But yeah Kim and Terry should be lauded for thinking of the folks, as usual.

Dang - 50 and 70 per ticketed tour? (69 actually - nice.)

That is a bit of a bite.

I reckon those are Year 1 prices, though.

And, hey. That’s more than fair.

I’ve got four GA tickets to Wednesdays open practice for anyone who wants them. I won’t be able to go with my kids. Free to whomever will use them.

I was way off. It’s Tuesday August 18th at 830. Still can’t go regardless.

@#freejame not Terry, confirmed.

[PASabreFan]

Why didn't the Knox ownership charge for those open practices back in the day? It was a hot (and free) ticket. The Aud was packed.

The discussion begins and ends there, IMHO.

….and they could charge $100 for a photo of your child breaking a table. 

 

*Disclaimer - no AI children were harmed in this pictorial.

** Disclaimer - just b/c I wanted to extend PAs metaphor doesn’t align my position that Terry is evil for asking $50.00 for a tour.  Bad owner? sure, but this tour stuff is just striking while the iron is hot kind of stuff. 

[PASabreFan]

Then in 1996 at a time when the owners were badly in need of revenue, they opened the doors again and let people in for free to see the new uniforms.

[Wyldnwoody44]

It's not surprising, in a time where everybody puts a screen in your face for tipping when they did absolutely nothing to earn said tip. 

Of course Terry and the powers that be will charge for this, welcome to the new millennium

… Crystal Pepsi take?

Fruit Stripe Gum take?

We are fully in the midst of late stage capitalism, my friend. The fat cats are using private equity to wring every dollar they can out of the economy and put it in their pockets.

FFS, those mufuggers have even monetized daycares and funeral homes.

Yeah, I could imagine living in a country where the government took stake in private business. Oh, wait. 

For the record, I’m staunchly anti-communist, but our currently government has no issue interfering with private business by taking ownership stake in it. Add that to the clear market manipulation going on and it’s the powers of the state for me, not thee.

Well this is another thriller of a conversation.

Super Bowl victory rally in the new stadium. 5k a pop.

Would that be OK?

Pegula threatened to move the Bills if they didn't get massive taxpayer assistance, and he replaced our beautiful awful bleacher bowl full of 72,000 howling fans with 58,000 we don't know what. The Bills org claims to pay homage to the working class city of Buffalo with one of the ugliest jerseys in NFL history. They destroyed the break even potential of season ticket holders with the absolutely insane PSL prices.

 

If you're excited about the new stadium, good for you, you are obviously doing well. But this is a real blue collar town, and a huge portion of real fans just got priced out.

You’re not wrong, but that’s the NFL now. The league does not care about Buffalo. They care about revenue and not the real fans. Agree it’s a shame. 

We had it as good as we did for a lot longer than anyone outside of Green Bay.

You know George Lucas was inspired by and empathized with the Viet Cong, and they were the basis of the rebellion, right?
