Lot K Tailgaters Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Anyone else feel insulted by this program? It's been absolute garbage all season and even worse in the offseason. They want us to earn all these bonus points for a Jaquan Jarrett autographed picture. Really? The auctions are for a Geno Smith autographed helmet. Why not just give everyone a $25 food voucher or something less insulting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Would a Rex Ryan bobble head be better or a John Idzik autograph game day program. What did everyone expect another floppy season ticket holder section hat? PSLs are for Woody Johnson to get rich not reward fans with costly and expensive rewards.

joebabyny Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The fact that you can't combine points is just idiotic to me, I have 3 ticket acounts, one with 4 seats and 2 with 2 seats each, and not only can I not combine accounts, but can't combine seats within 1 account. Here are my points: Account 1: 39,100 39,100 39,100 31,700 Account 2: 34,100 27,000 Account 3: 39,100 30,700 Now, with a total of 279,900 points, I can't buy or bid any more than 39,100 points on anything, and can't get anything more than a few jets season ticket holder hats for 28,000 a piece and I can't even bid on the Geno Smith signed helmet auction which is currently at 43,200. So yeah, the rewards program is mostly useless. And about those point totals, I didn't do any of the bonus codes from the radio, just showed up to games. Most of the cards got scanned every single game, and the last 2 accounts are seats with the second highest psl level in the mezzanine club, and even with those seats I still can't get anything.

I think they should let you combine maybe two seats together (or some limit). I guess they are worried about the top prizes going, but they are gone anyway. The one thing I was surprised with because I didn't think about it was you have to pick the merchandise up or pay for shipping. My son is across the street from the facility, so he is picking up. We got an autographed picture, I forget what player though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Why are you surprised that the "rewards" program stinks? Complete garbage.

SAR I At least the poncho can be used over and over again. The rewards program here was a promotion started to make PSL holders feel better about their purchase. iIs like a store giving rewards cash or coupons they know you are going to spend far more than what they are giving you free in the process. The average game day depending on where your seats are costs hundreds maybe thousands and a reward of a free beer or a box of cracker jacks or a pack of M&Ms is a kick in the groin. Jets fans who own PSLs deserve alot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets Rewards is a team marketing ploy to get more season ticket holders to attend more games and get there earlier and it's all for one reason- so they can buy more stuff. I hate tailgating so I'm hoping it works, get those gullible drunkards into the perimeter and out of the lots. I'm a PSL owner, you're not, you don't need to think on our behalf, thanks. We got what we deserved; after decades of being waitlisted we got a chance to buy our way into great seats. We're not happy about the state of the team, but we love our PSL's.

Lot K Tailgaters Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 I went to a "Fan Advisory Board" meeting about this. They had the girl who started this there. They made it sound like the rewards would improve and it would get better. Instead it has gotten worse. Before last season only one or two teams in the NFL did it. I would rather spend more time in the parking lot than get in early. I can get a Geno Smith autographed helmet on ebay for $5.99 with free shipping if I wanted one.

chillybott Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Anyone else feel insulted by this program? It's been absolute garbage all season and even worse in the offseason. The program is absolutely an enhancement of the whole seat licensing system. What is a PSL but the right and requirement to let the New York Jets line you up 10 times per year and have them kick you square in the nuts? Giving you rewards points that add extra perceived requirements with no actual value is a completely logical extension to that program. I would like to see a program instituted where they deduct rewards points from any PSL holder who speaks out loud of the upper bowl scalping program that the Jets run - you know, the one that makes the perceived resale value of game tickets essentially zero as well. For me, this would really make whole rewards points idea a much more efficient program at reaching out to PSL holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a football tradition which if you go to any other football venue exist. I guess if you are obnoxious, self serving and have no friends tailgating is not for you. Some tailgaters are respectful. But as a collective, they are rude, inconsiderate, selfish, and create an environment that is not suitable to families with small children. Even if it's just a few apples, they spoil the whole bunch. All it takes is 20% of all tailgaters to take up multiple parking spots to inconvenience hundreds of people. All it takes is 20% of all tailgaters blaring loud music, swearing, smoking, urinating, and littering to ruin the experience for thousands of people. There are quiet zones in the stadium. There are alcohol-free zones in the stadium. There is no smoking in the stadium. There is physical segregation between the four major gates. These rules need to be emulated in the parking lots as well. We are long overdue for a tailgate-free parking lot that doesn't force my 10 and 2 year olds to walk through Vietnam just to get into the stadium.
