BILLS, TICKET VENDOR ACCUSE EACH OTHER OF BREACH OF CONTRACT

          The Bills and ETM Entertainment Network (ETM), the
     company that sells individual Bills tickets, have "accused
     each other of breaching" a three-year contract they signed
     in May, according to Dan Herbeck of the BUFFALO NEWS.  ETM
     is accusing the team of contract violations and is
     "threatening to shut down its service."  The Bills have
     filed a lawsuit in federal court ordering ETM "to continue
     its service through the end of the current season."  ETM
     told the Bills last week that "it was fed up with the team"
     and planned to stop selling tickets.  ETM attorney Steven
     Holland accused the team of not doing enough advertising for
     individual tickets and said it was "uncooperative in helping
     ETM set up an evening phone sales operation."  Bills Dir of
     Ticket Sales James Foran said in court papers that an ETM
     shutdown would "wreak total havoc on the Bills ticketing
     operation."  The dispute will go to arbitration, but no
     hearing has been scheduled (BUFFALO NEWS, 11/18).
