One of the biggest FOMO moments happening in 2026 will be in September when the Buffalo Bills host their first-ever regular-season game at the new Highmark Stadium. The good news is that you can be there while helping out a great non-profit granting wishes to seniors across Western New York.

Senior Wishes Raffle Off Tickets To Buffalo Bills Home Opener

If you didn't get season tickets for the Buffalo Bills, and don't want to pay thousands of dollars to be at the home opener against the Detroit Lions on September 17th, you can buy tickets for a shot at winning a pair of tickets.

The local non-profit Senior Wishes is raffling off a pair of tickets to the Buffalo Bills home opener. The winner will be announced on September 6th during a live drawing at Old Man River. See the link below for all the details.
