...finally. I think Robert Shaw has landed sharks more easily than landing these tickets.

So what is the reason behind there not being any Lucky Dips for Buffalo? Some state law issue?

Things to do with an 8 year old in Buffalo. A bit depends on what your 8 yr old is into. If you don't have passports for all, you'll have to stay on the US side, where there is:
Niagara Falls (on the US side the Cave of the Winds or Maid Of The Mist ride can be quite an experience for an 8 yr old),
Buffalo Zoo (small, but that can be a good thing if an 8 yr old is walking),
Explore & More Children's Museum at Canalside (just opened in the last year), also at Canalside an 1800's carousel that is being rebuilt and should be open by Summer, recreational boating (also around Canalside) in boats powered by pedaling to kayaks and small sailboats
Fort Niagara: 1700s French fort just north of Niagara Falls where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario. French lost it to the British, who then lost it to America, who then used it to attack Canada, and thankfully war-free since 1814 when the US discovered that Canadians are cool people who like a beer as much as we do
Fantasy Island - small, old amusement park geared to those who are maybe 11 and under. No wild roller coasters or scarier rides. Def not trying to compete with a Six Flags or Disneyworld in size, scope or technology. Small and easy to get around, rarely a long line for anything.
I would add our main art museum, Albright Knox, which houses a world-class collection of modern art and going back into the impressionists. It is closed as it's in the early stages of a massive construction project and won't re-open for 2 years.
If you have passports for all, the Canadian side has many attractions from a great Butterfly Conservatory, to zip lining and easy hiking on that side of the Falls. Pre 9/11 no passports were needed to go back and forth across the border and we could pop across one of the bridges to Canada for lunch or dinner or golf or just a bike ride, without hassles/delays at customs. Two countries with one easy to cross border, but not anymore. Expect delays of 15-30 minutes most days. Holidays and weekends come with longer delays unless you pick an off-hour to cross.

Looking one ticket for Buffalo. Those that know the stadium can you recommend a section to aim for. Can’t spring for pit but around the $200 mark or do you think I am better to wait to closer to the time. Thanks

Thanks Sicilian. Was that through a ticket master site or from someone at the stadium
