To be fair. The Sabres don’t actually want you to have physical tickets anymore.

My uncle who has had season tickets for years. Basically demanded he gets physical tickets

So it makes sense why they are so plain

The Buffalo Sabres: Where we say F the fans. We tell you what you want. You're 100% correct BTW. Any way they can treat the fanbase like dirt, they don't miss it. It would never occur to anyone at the Sabres offices fans may keep mementos from games in scrapbooks. It's why I still have my stub from the night Richard Zenick had his life saved at the arena, but I don't have stub from March 10th this past season. This would never occur to the Sabres because all they know how to do is scrape crap from the toilet bowl and present it to you like that's what you wanted all along. And, who would want a memento of crap?

Dear, Sabres, you don't have to present crap. You can do better. I've been told you're aware of this blog. Do better. Demand more. Stop being losers.

That costs them more money... Who cares about a pretty picture on paper. Its just getting thrown out.

Get with the times.

We're talking about two different things here. You already need to maintain barcodes in the digital ticketing realm. It doesn't cost you money to add them. It's not about cost. It's about competence.

His point, though, is that it's not just the Sabres. It's everyone. And he's right. The ticket vendors (i.e. Ticketmaster) also have a huge say in this.

You're telling me NYR, TOR, MON season ticket holders get the bottom of the barrel Ticketmaster generic if they request a book of tickets? I find that very hard to believe. We have the 5th richest owners in the sport. This is about not caring a whit for the season ticket holders, and that's why they lost so many.

My uncle gets them printed up at the box office. I have also gone to the box office. It’s a very basic generic printer.

Basically they have the basic ticket template and print the game. Seat section etc.

So yes of course it’s going to be a basic ticket.

It’s also 2022 People sell them all the time online.

I get what your saying. But you are being too harsh on the Sabres or ticket master

It’s like beer prices at Sabres or bills games. I can’t tell you how many people think the pegulas own the concession stands and make money.

In reality, They don’t and it’s not their fault.

So moral of my rant is. Get over it.

The moral of your rant is: Accept less. Be a loser.

And, again, do you think the Rangers, Habs, and Leaf fans get a dogshlt ticket?

So there is a very weird business structure with that from how I understand.

Basically with how much revenue the food/beverage third part makes, the rent is based off of a % of that. So as they make money, the rent increases/decreases.

I watch people routinely spend $35 - 50 on beer per game. I wonder what inflation did to beer prices this season? Meanwhile $100 per ounce at the res. Weed's never been cheaper.

Unrelated but last season I noticed they switched from real chicken breast fritter chicken fingers to formed meat slurry tenders. That was disappointing

Oh yeah, the Senecas are cleaning up. Cannabis Cove or 888 Cannabis Dispensary just about always have $100 OZs

That costs them more money... Who cares about a pretty picture on paper. Its just getting thrown out.

- DirtyDan

The Sabres usher doesn't actually take and rip the ticket in half, speaking of getting with the times. ☝️

People collect them and love to actually give them as gifts, instead of a letter with email transfer...



I've had a few buzzers get a hold of me for tickets.

Of course its karmanos and not KA that deserves the credit and contract extension.

It's getting harder to explain KA's Success away ......
- Boss34

Karmanos hired Ventura in Pitt. Don't think it's fair to assume he's the biggest reason Ventura landed in Buff? What's wrong with giving Karmanos credit for something?

Then have the competence to just wave your phone over a screen instead of needing some paper copy your just going to throw out once you get home.

What's wrong with giving Kyvynv credit for anything.

He's been doing an excellent job of managing generally.


Glad he got the extention he deserved.

You give karmanos to much credit

Boy Brian Gaine really built the Buffalo Bill's into a superbowl contender 😀😀😀

See how silly that is?

We have ST's. We routinely give them away at events. You can print them yourselves on a sheet of paper.

We also give them away to friends or family if we cannot attend.

Its 2022. Your not 12 again needing to keep every ticket with every different player displayed. (Something I did)

A Year goes by you find the stash look through them and throw em out.

To take a line out of Hatboro's book.

It's become a team effort by the way the Embedded videos (and really just how they act around each other). I don't know why you guys are fighting over the "I in team" when the team in and of itself doesn't believe in the philosophy...

It's very silly imo.

That's really a backhanded compliment for a GM, imo.

Don't think I've ever given Karmanos credit for a thing. Crediting him for hiring someone he hired in the past isn't a huge compliment either. The best candidates don't always have an inside connection to the organization.

To counter this argument, what about the 12 year old that does want to do that? I'm sure there are plenty that would.

People need to go back and watch Forton's interview at the draft.

Adam's gives these guys the confidence to do their jobs. And they do their jobs well.

It isn't a 1 man show like some here like to believe for whatever reason.
