Bills To Refund Canadian Ticket Buyers If Border Stays Closed

The Bills are the "first known NFL team to begin informing its Canadian ticket buyers that, should international bridge crossings remain closed for any games this season, they'll refund their money accordingly," according to John Kryk of the TORONTO SUN. A Postmedia survey this month of NFL teams situated closest to the border along Canada and the U.S. "reveals that Canadians, in aggregate, have purchased more than 13,000 season tickets," specifically "about 8,000 tickets" from the Bills. Those ticket numbers "exclude single-game ticket purchases by Canadians." Fans should not expect the international border to be open "come July 22, or any time soon thereafter." The Bills for years have "relied on massive single-game ticket sales in Ontario" (TORONTO SUN, 6/28).
