Through New York State, the club has been granted permission to host 6,772 fans at their home Wild Card game that will be played on Jan. 9 or 10. All fans will be required to obtain a negative COVID test result through the NFL’s testing partner, Bioreference Laboratories in order to attend the game.
As a result of certain NFL Rules and other commitments, approximately 6,200 tickets will be available for purchase on Dec. 31 to Bills Season Ticket Members that opted into purchasing tickets earlier this year. Season Ticket Members will be notified based on seniority.

The team also announced some COVID-19 protocols that will have to be followed:
Tickets will be available in two and four ticket pods only. Only one pod will be available per each Season Ticket Member account. Should the Bills advance and host a Divisional Playoff round game and New York State permits fans to future games, those fans who attend the Wild Card playoff game will not be eligible to purchase tickets for the Divisional round.
Fans will be required to pay for their testing as part of their ticket purchase to cover all associated costs. Bioreference Laboratories is providing each test for fans at a reduced cost of $63. There will also be an additional cost of $11 for parking.
Testing for fans will be administered at Bills Stadium in Lot 4, two to three days prior to the playoff game. Instructions on the testing process will be emailed to the ticket holder by the Bills. Only ticket holders who test negative and can provide proof of a negative result will be given entry to the game. Test results will be sent by Bioreference Laboratories via a secure email.
The #BillsMafia will be out … not in full force … but its presence will be felt.
See you in the playoffs, #BillsMafia
