The team announced on Monday that season ticker holders have purchased more than 57,500 season tickets, the highest total in the team’s 55-year history.
“Since we agreed to purchase the Buffalo Bills in September 2014, we have been humbled by the fans and their outpouring of emotion when they learned this team would remain in Buffalo,” said Bills Owner Terry Pegula in a release. “Bills Season Ticket Members passionately support this team year after year and are the most loyal fans in the National Football League. We truly thank them for their commitment to this franchise. Like our fans, we are looking forward to a great 2015 season with our Head Coach Rex Ryan, the coaching staff, the players and the entire organization.”
The previous record of 57,132 was set in 1992. The team sold 47,482 in 2014.
The Bills plan to cap season tickets at 60,000 and institute a waiting list if demand exceeds that numbers.
Individual tickets have sold out for all home games except the Bills’ regular-season finale against the New York Jets.
