For the first time this playoffs, the Buffalo Bills won’t have the home-field advantage, but Bills Mafia is looking to bring as much of that Highmark Stadium energy to Kansas City, as they take on the Chiefs.

The familiar playoff matchup has a lot on the line.

“This year, with the Chiefs going for a three-peat and the Bills really pushing hard to get into the Super Bowl, this is going to be a big, a big, big game for everyone involved,” said Makenzie Wolters, the communications manager for Visit KC.

Visit KC has a gameday weekend itinerary for fans coming from out of town.

They see thousands of people flood into the area for games. Bills Mafia is no different.

“We see really great turnout with Bills fans taking over a couple bars in the city so that they can, you know, cheer on their team," said Wolters. "It's a great kind of friendly rivalry that we've been building over the last few years.”

But how much will it cost?

“Planning ahead saves you the most money. In a situation like this, you really couldn't do so,” said Elizabeth Carey, the director of public relations for AAA.

AAA took a look at the prices.

Hotels run a couple hundred per night.

As for travel, from Highmark to Arrowhead Stadium, driving will only be about $100 in gas, but you’re looking at 13-14 hours on the roads in winter conditions.

Flying will be a third of the time, but prices go up every day you wait, whether from Buffalo or other New York airports.

“They started out over the weekend at about $770 round trip," said Carey. "Now they're up to about $970 or over $1,000 round trip, depending on the airline.”

As for getting into the game, VIP Tix says demand is high.

They estimate it's 60% higher than the usual Chiefs/Bills road game.

The cheapest tickets are around 400 bucks.

“From Friday all the way [...] through Sunday, very packed," said Wolters. "Lots of stuff going on.”

But it’s all to recreate a bit o that home feel in KC, for fans and for the team.

“A lot of beer will be consumed, maybe a lot of chicken wings, a lot of times the bars will bring in Labatts and local specialties, just to welcome the fans from out of town, especially from Buffalo," explained Carey. "There'll be a lot of camaraderie, even though there's going to be a lot of rivalry on the field.”

A lot of fans can already taste the Super Bowl.

Naturally, that trip to New Orleans will run you a lot more, but AAA says if you plan to go, start looking at accommodations now.

If you’re playing it safe, read the fine print and try to find flights and hotels that are refundable or will swap out for credit.

Other than that, tickets are going for about $6,000 each.

VIP Tix recommends waiting on buying those. They expect prices will drop once the lineup is finalized, more tickets are released, and other fans start to sell theirs.
