Bills Pre-Game Thread

Does the team have the ability to only sell tickets to people that live within certain zip codes? I'm talking about straight from the team to the purchaser.

A long time ago i think it WAS like this - but there are just way too many 3rd party mark up vendors these days to accomplish that as a franchise - i think

Ted Leonsis did this in early 2000s wrote a software program to eliminate zip codes around Pittsburgh for ticket sales. In 2018 during the Cup run tickets sold pre sale i.e to season ticket holders were not allowed to be resold. I think that would be feasible only with season ticket holders that enter into a contract with the franchise. The ticket resale business has become too big of a business for NFL to lose as a sponsor now IMO.

In the Bundesliga visiting teams are given a set amount of tickets to sell through their market and they are all in one area not dispersed through the stadium. I don't know how they prevent fans from being scattered through out the stadium via resales maybe our European fans here can explain this. I think it is similar in Premier league
