The Bills are going camping again at St. John Fisher University!
Each summer Buffalo Bills fans, especially those in Rochester, NY, look forward to the team’s training camp schedule. It’s a tradition that’s been held at St. John Fisher University for decades now, and one that the whole family can attend for free to get an early glimpse at the team — and perhaps a chance for an autograph either before or after practice.
For the 2025 edition of Bills training camp, there will be 11 practices with the first taking place on July 23. The last practice this summer at Fisher will be held on August 7, leading up to the first preseason game against the New York Giants on August 9. During camp, the team will also hold their “Return of Blue and Red” scrimmage at Highmark Stadium on August 1, beginning at 5:30 p.m. EDT.
Getting tickets to training camp has grown to be a challenge, perhaps rivaled only by those trying for seats at a Taylor Swift concert. Tickets to camp are of course free, but the Bills have implemented what they’re calling the Training Camp Public Practice Lottery system where recipients are chosen at random, and only able to request a maximum of four tickets across the duration of camp.
Beginning today, June 18, fans can head to training camp ticket request page at BuffaloBills.com to enter the lottery, which ends on June 26. Emails from the team will start hitting inboxes on June 30, notifying fans if they were or were not selected to claim tickets.
Editor’s note: A reminder that tickets to every camp practice, including the “Return of the Red and Blue” scrimmage, are free. While missing out on anticipated ticket opportunities isn’t fun, there’s zero reason to pay scalpers for these tickets — avoid the urge to pay any amount for tickets.
Sometimes people will have extras at the entrance. I know this first-hand, having been shut out many years. Last year I was able to help a couple people out who needed ticket access. I’ll cover the parking situation (that is, beyond the bus ride) as we get closer to training camp.
