Lot K Tailgaters Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I know that the Jets have deals with Dynasty Sports and Entertainment to unload a lot of their tickets on Stubhub. Just went on to look. You can sit lower level for Sunday for $60!!!! I've never seen a home opener for so cheap and close to 7k seats still on Stubhub. I wasn't expecting this.

AFJF Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Wow...I jus took a look for myself and I gotta' say, knowing what I paid for my tickets to the opener,I nearly puked, but I hope it stays like that all season. Under $100 for field level? I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 In a typical week on Stubhub there are usually 8,000 seats for sale the week of a home game, but usually by Thursday that number is halved and by Friday it's down to 2,500. There seems to be lower than normal interest in seeing the Jets. You could say that it's because the Browns have no value, but it our home opener on a mostly sunny 75 degree day with a brand new HC and some good FA pickups. Just tells you how low this franchise has fallen since Rex Ryan destroyed us, going to take awhile to build it back up. That, or 5,000 blue-collar old timer burping farting carpetbagging ex-season ticket holders retired to Florida or passed away. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest problem is the Jets sell a LOT of their tickets to brokers and liquidators for VERY cheap prices. 90% of the tickets you get off Stubhub say "Dynasty" "Dynasty Sports and Entertainment" "S4K" or "S4K Marketing Group" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and I got hit last year for games I couldn't attend, hard to give away some of the seats to some games. But.... Opening Day Easy Opponent 1PM Sunny Skies 75 Degrees New HC/GM/Revis No Geno If there are still 5,000+ tickets on Stubhub on Saturday this is a shift in fan behavior that's very different than past years.

Sperm Edwards Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 maybe the cost + having redzone at home is finally catching up to people. that said if the jets had drafted mariotta there would be more interest. Definitely agree with your first reason. The second reason is a possibility but hardly a slam dunk. More interest, yes. But doubt they'd sell out anyway. It's too much of an ordeal to get in & out of there. In doesn't bother me since we like pre-game tailgating. But after the game's over? I just want to go home, not hang out in the parking lot for an hour or more to avoid traffic that's more infuriating than the game I just watched. Even more so when the nice weather disappears. It's just too comfortable and pleasant to not go to the stadium even if it's a great/exciting game and the team's on fire. For me it just isn't worth the trip anymore. It seems lots of people feel this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask myself if I would go if we just picked up Aaron Rodgers and the tickets were free. And even to that impossible, imaginary scenario, I still have to honestly say the best answer you'd get out of me is maybe. Despite the hyperbole around here, that suggests he's just about the worst QB in NFL history, we've definitely had worse QBs than Geno Smith. And I attended a good number of games with such men behind center. Has nothing to do with the QB. I just don't want to go to the stadium anymore.

Club Seats will never get back to face, the aftermarket fans are looking for a deal and those in the sections adjacent make the Club's look way overpriced.

It's hard, that's a fact. I live 25 minutes from the stadium and I have zero traffic (Bergen County rocks) but even for me it's a very long day. Have to leave by 10:30 to get a good parking spot by 11:00. Hang around for 2 hours until kickoff. Game ends at 4:15 and I'm in the car by 4:25 and home by 5:00. That's 6 1/2 hours, that's practically a full working day where my wife has to hold the bag and get the kids to soccer, dance, playdates, etc. If they'd just kill those tailgaters I'd be able to cruise up at 12:45 and get 2 of those hours back.
