First Call it a Buffalo Bills season ticket holders bonanza. The National Football League team announced Feb. 25 there will be no increase in prices for the 1999 season, the discount for season ticket holders is being restored and there will just one preseason game at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Bills season ticket base topped out at 57,132 in 1992 but has declined in recent years, falling to 31,000 in 1998. The team took away a season ticket discount a few years ago, causing even more cancellations. Littman said the average discount for the 1999 season will actually be 20 percent with the Bills playing one less preseason game and the return of the discount.
Preseason games are part of the season ticket package.
The lone preseason game will be against the Pittsburgh Steelers over Labor Day weekend. Littmann said the Bills will include a check off box on season ticket invoices asking customers to make a tax-deductible donation with the money saved through the discount to the new program. The Bills will then match all donations made by fans. HireBuffalo Fill an opening, find a job Internet Directory Local businesses on the web Merchant Services Start accepting credit cards online.
