Dcat Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I use StubHub and price my tickets at fair market value. What I find, anecdotally via friends in my section, is that sometimes fans who buy my seats are from the opposing team. And that's not because I'm targeting them. It's because Jets fans are notoriously cheap and I have a premium location. SAR I this is true. For the games I can't attend, I post on Stub Hub at a price that is near the lowest for my section. I prefer a quick sale. I have no knowledge of who purchases them and sometimes it is opposing teams fans, many of whom seem much more willing to fork out the dollars to see their team than do our fellow Jets fans. I agree with the broad-stroke generalization that Jets fans are miserly at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sec331 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 So the need to recoup the cost of ticket and a PSL = the ticket being bought by an out of town fan or a drunk = the harassment of Fireman Ed = the death of the JETS chant.

SAR I Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Better be careful... 2 Jet fans from Staten Island may pick them up. You could wind up like Fireman Ed in the bathroom. When I need to sell 2 of my seats and I do wind up sitting next to some lower-tier types I pretend I bought the seats on Stubhub too and anonymously narc 'em out by texting stadium security. I get paid, I get to stretch out, it's all good. My favorite move is when I am sitting in my 2 seats and my adjacent 2 seats unfortunately go unsold and some Jets fans sneak by my ushers and sit in my seats. Always a laugh-riot when I get them tossed with a few button clicks on the iPhone. High-fives and champagne toasts all around from my PSL friends around me.

My point is that its easy for someone who doesn't lay out $5,000 a year for tickets to judge who we sell them to and tell us we could be better Jets fans if we made sure the seats wound up in the hands of Jets fans. Some even have the audacity to tell me to eat the cost and take the loss, as if that's what they'd do in the same situation. For me, I want as much money back if I can't go and I don't care who buys them. I price them fairly, it's not like there is some magic price for a Steeler fan that's different than the right price for a Jets fan. Stubhub makes it easy to see what the fair market value is for Mezz A corners, Row 1's, etc. My comeback to those who complain about selling a few seats to games I simply can't attend is to buy them from me and then take the financial burden on themselves to sell them to the "right" people. Lay out $550 cash to me right now, take my Redskins tickets, and go get your money back by finding a Jets fan who wants them. It's a problem that's easy to solve. I'm more than happy to get my tickets solely to Jets fans as long as it's less work than the Stubhub process. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait, that's what happens when you buy a PSL and are stuck with tickets you don't really want to buy anymore. Smart. Hey, I'm not the one calling out other Jets fans over who they sell their tickets to. They're doing that to me, not the other way around. If someone wants to keep my seats out of enemy fans hands, fine, buy them and use them yourself or buy them and find a Jets fan to pay you. It's not my issue. Regarding PSL ownership, Stubhub works and I break even each year. I can get 2x face for a major team, 1x face for an average team, and lose on bum games. Each year, tends to be a wash. And I don't care who buys my seats as long as they get sold. Like every other season ticket holder, it's not possible to go to all 10 games, I have a big job and four kids, priorities shift. I'm on the hook for $500 in tickets and $40 in parking for the Eagles game, going to do all I can to get some of it back. So would you. Lastly, the PSL is nothing. It doesn't matter anymore. The money was spent in 2008, that's 8 years ago, and it was only $16,000. I spend that much on my vacations every year, if you have a family you probably spend that much too. Tell me, do you remember what vacations you took in 2008? Do you smoke cigarettes? Have a dog? Drink beer? If you do, you spent a lot more than $16,000 on those vices in the past 8 years. You don't have to worry about how rich people spend their fun money, k? SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
