NEW YORK JETS 2015 PLAYOFF PRICING

[Maxman]

I received this from the NY Jets today. Registering for playoff tickets? Let's hope they pay us back by making home playoff games a reality!

The NFL has introduced a new policy in which all teams are required to provide Season Ticket Holders the ability to reserve tickets for possible home Wild Card, Divisional, and Championship games before the start of each NFL regular season.  In conjunction with this League policy change, we are offering a special benefit to Season Ticket Holders: A guarantee that a seat for any potential home Wild Card game cost the same amount as the average price of that seat in a 10-game season ticket package.  Please note it is an option, not a requirement, to have seats reserved and a credit or debit card securely stored.  Season Ticket Holders will not be billed at this time; this program is “pay as we play,” so they would only be charged if and when we have secured any home playoff game.  This benefit is available to any Jets Season Ticket Holder who elects to reserve his or her seats during an early reservation period from now through Thursday, September 10. 

We recognize that we have not even played a 2015 regular season game yet and that every team’s post-season status will not be determined for months.  However, the League has instituted this policy to ensure that the playoff invoice process for all NFL teams runs smoothly.   
 
Season Ticket Holders can secure their early-reservation pricing at newyorkjets.com/myjetsaccount.  Please again note that this early reservation offer, which was required by the NFL, is completely optional.

They must be getting the most hilarious calls in the office today...

I got the same message. So if I skimmed that correctly, by opting in by sept 10, I save approx 3-11% on the wild card game if it's hosted at MetLife. Otherwise, no impact.

Also, at some point we'll be offered the ability to request a limited number of additional seats for potential playoff games.

Assuming I have that right, I suppose I'll opt in. Assuming it's easy to do so, that would be like a $9-$30 coupon if we host a wild card game? But otherwise if you didn't want to spend the energy now everything else is the same except maybe you wouldn't get that small discount.

Given the new variable pricing model for regular season game tickets, Upper Prime STHs who elect the "early opt in discount" get a wild card game for the same price ($110) as they would for non-marquee games vs Jacksonville, Tennessee, etc.  

Would have guessed at least $150 for WC upper prime seats.
