Rogers buys rest of Jets v Bills tickets

Whoop whoop it sold out! Haha year 25,000 fans will show up though. It is going to be ugly in there.

Buffalo Bills game against their AFC East Division rival New York Jets this Thursday in Toronto is sold out and will be televised locally.

The Bills-Jets game is the second regular season game at Rogers Centre in the Bills Toronto Series, part of an eight-game, five-year deal between the NFL team and Rogers Communications Inc. The Canadian media giant is paying the Bills $78 million over the term to host the games, which include five regular season and three preseason games.

The Bills-Jets game, to be televised in the U.S. on the NFL Network, will mark the second NFL regular season game played in Canada and the sixth regular season game played outside the United States.

Though the game is deemed a sellout, organizers say a limited number of team returns and premium seats remain available for the game. Last year’s Bills game, versus the Miami Dolphins, was also considered a sell out but complaints regarding prices led Rogers to reduce seating costs by 17 percent this year. Prices now range from $99 to $275 per seat.
The Rogers Centre has a capacity of approximately 52,000 for football.


Thursday's game will air on Channel 7. Pre game coverage starts at 7:30.
