Jet Nut Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 23 hours ago, Section 333 said: 5 per ticket is 200 bucks for my 4 seats. Hardly a ******* coffee and a ******* bagel. Did you expect the price of your seat would stay the same forever? Do you consider a increase, if needed of $5 excessive? I'm not getting the complaint, prices go up, always do, always will. You don't want to know what I paid for my STs at Shea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAR I Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 3 hours ago, GenoandtheJets said: I look at this as a greedy gesture by the ownership of the New York Jets and whoever else is in charge. The team has not been to the playoffs since 2010. I get it that they were 10-6 but they still didn't make the playoffs. I also get it that the NFL is a business that always wants to make money. I sincerely hope that they are relevant next season as well because next years schedule is tougher. If last seasons success was a mirage then it will be "Same Old Jets" all over again. Whatever happens happens I have seen this over and over again. I expect playoffs but if it doesn't happen again for them then I will wonder what the heck else needs to go right. Good Lord, seriously? We haven't had a price increase since 2009, that's 7 years. In a new stadium one would think our prices would have done up $35 to $75 starting in 2010 and instead they didn't go up a penny. Now they're going up $5 a game and the Jets are "greedy". If we look at our PSL outlay's and what we'd expected in base ticket price increases, the lack of increases these past 7 years have wiped out almost all of the PSL expenses. That's awesome. That's Christmas morning. That's tooth fairy caliber goodness. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornfed Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 11 hours ago, no psls said: Everyone should send emails to their representatives on the ticket renewal link and tell them to credit their Rewards points towards their season tickets bill . I did this yesterday and the rep called me back in two hours telling me it couldn't be done . I laughed in his face and said "I TOOK A SHOT " . Everyone should pound them with emails since the reps have to respond . The Rewards program is garbage and they should be made aware of this . I like that idea. I still love going to games, I love my seats, I love the live football experience, and I love the Jets. But I have gotten zero from the Rewards program. And I spent a sh*t-ton on PSLs, another sh*t-ton on tickets over the years, and I've bought a fair amount of beers over the years (for me) and more recently pretzels and hot dogs (for my kid). And I don't think I've ever benefited from the rewards program yet. Last year, I never saw anything I wanted plus it was a PITA to have to remember to look, so I used all of my points on the London auction (a game I didn't want to go to....though in hindsight I wound up being a couple countries over in Eastern Europe that weekend....whoops!). I've said from the start, give me an occasional free pretzel or upgraded parking or whatever. Or, I like your idea - knock a few bucks off the tix.

If you're blaming Woody for "no playoffs in 6 years" it starts with those who supported Rex Ryan and bought him an extra two seasons because of how much our owner wants to please the fans. So if you didn't support Rex Ryan as of 2012, sure, be angry at Woody Johnson all you want. But if you did support Rex Ryan in 2012, well, be angry at yourself and the other fans who stood by the worst HC in our history and delayed our progress unnecessarily.

No PSL owner would have shed a tear if our prices went up $5 or $10 here and there for the past 7 years. We can afford it, and that extra vig wouldn't make a difference towards getting those open seats sold as we have been in a Rex Ryan downward spiral for all years since 2011. With a 10 win season and Macca/Bowles onboard, those seats near you will get sold this year, this month, in fact. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I I always support your view on psls and agree with all your points on the subject. I, like you, sat on the season tix waiting list never got a call. 10 years. I was happy to pay for season tix and psls for the new stadium. Love my seats, club mezz. Club is pricey but I like it! Today, my bill went up 8% per club ticket or $20. I have two other tix in 221a that went up by $5. No problem. I'm having a tough time with the $20/ticket increase. Not because I can't afford it, but because I find it obnoxious. 4-5% is realistic.

I recall the Mezz Club's were originally priced at $400 if memory serves correctly*, they were then reduced a few times to the $250 you pay now. Our Mezz A corners, as you know, were originally priced at $125 and never were reduced. So, in order for you to be legitimately upset with the Jets, they'd have had to raise your Mezz Club ticket prices $155 which they did not do. Rationalized. SAR I * Just confirmed this. Also, the PSL's on those seats I believe were $5,000 which is chicken feed compared to the $4,000 we non-Club PSL owners were forced to pay. The Mezz Club's turned out to be a great deal but the financial model wasn't built to sustain it. $400 seats for 7 seasons at $250 is quite a bargain.

SAR I Actually, their fortunes turned around when they hired Parcells, dropped the Red jerseys for Blue ones, and drafted Drew Bledsoe, #1 overall, back in 1993. By '95 they were legit contenders and in the Super Bowl in 1996. They have had a Franchise QB since 1993, but didn't win it all until 2001; but you already know this. As soon as the Jets slashed the exorbitant per game Club prices, you KNEW those tix would be the first to go back up in price as soon as the team was "winning."

Flushing Roots Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Guy in the Green lot last year gave me a great idea which I may employ this year. Keep my STs in 340 @ $100 for the early season and potential playoff games but then flip the December games and buy Club seats on SH for under face. Bottom line is I can attend the cold weather games in the Club (usually for under face) and subsidize part of the cost by flipping my seats in 340 (they are Row 8 so I usually get a decent price). Guy was pretty crafty. Kinda reminded me of Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you only live once and compared to things like vacations, cigarette smoking, morning bagels, and dog ownership, Jets tickets are a bargain, an absolute bargain. I may have "lost" $5,000 on lousy games I hated in 2013 and 2014 but I won big attending games like the Patriots in OT next to fans I love and the Giants in OT which cost me $350 in a $125 section. Those wins were worth more than the $5,000 I may have burned during the Idkiz era. In the grand scheme of things it's not a lot of money. Get the best view you can and have a great time.
