Lot K Tailgaters Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I understand the Jets are having a lousy season but how do they send this offer to non season ticket holders. Tickets for below face value and a bunch of free food and gift cards. We paid all season for this lousy product we should be getting something.

The Crimson King Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Kind of an outrage FST holders should get a small refund and the same vouchers as a show of good faith but this team has never had any towards ticket holders.

David Harris Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Considering the 300 level corner end zone seats will be selling on stubhub for $6- this is actually a rip off. Feel better? They're ripping everybody off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Oh please, no one was slapped anywhere. What they sell a ticket for to a game no one wants to go to has nothing to do with us buying a season of tickets. Get your friends and family to buy out all the tickets to all the games and this doesnt happen. The team is devalued by its bad play and we're supposed to be shocked that the tickets are devalued and being sold with incentives? No one has ever made a guarantee to me before the season begins that if they have a bad season I'm getting a Jets refund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket holders know that each year is a diceroll and that the majority of seasons are futile. We're in it for the experience with family and friends and those handful of years where we have a chance for glory. I worry about myself and my own tickets, I don't begrudge the Jets trying to fill the stadium or a few diehards for getting a deal. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetscrazey Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It's very simple: Send out this offer to non-season ticket holders, hope they bite. Then buy tickets on the open market to cover the commitment well below these prices. --> Profit. Woody and Neil Glat are businessmen first and foremost.

Why should they do that.

SAR I Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 1 hour ago, ECURB said: Why do so many fans care about crap like this that doesn't have any bearing on them? And that's the magic question, isn't it? Here's the answer: There are ex-season ticket holders from the Giants Stadium days who quit on the Jets the moment the free ride ended and they couldn't sell half their tickets for 3x face value to scalpers and get paid to attend the other half. And/or fans who never sold their tickets but were paying upper deck prices for dreamy lower level seats at midfield. These people had the best deal in sports for 30 years, but as soon as the Jets righted the pricing to current market conditions they bailed on the team under this fake excuse of "I have an ethical problem with PSL's and our owner". So to make up for the fact that they were lucky for decades and then were selfish when it was time to pay real money and quit on the team, they need to hear themselves say how awful the Jets are to PSL owners, put up threads about how they were right and we were wrong, make stuff up about low attendance and conspiracy theories about back channel deals to skirt the PSL fees. They don't do this to hurt PSL owners feelings. They do this to justify their selfish decision. What they didn't understand back in 2008 and they still don't understand here in 2016 is that to 12,000 people on the waitlist PSL's were the greatest thing that ever happened. After decades of being blocked out of the stadium, we had a fair chance to get season tickets of our own. We like PSL's. We were excited to pay for PSL's. To this day, I bless Woody Johnson for being Abraham Lincoln of the waitlist. Let him make a few bucks on unsold seats. It's perfectly fine.

joewilly12 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 PSL's and the owners paying full value means nothing to the Jets the NFL is a business. Besides the exclusive trinkets they give out to season ticket holders (that can be bought on E bay) what do they really do to benefit the PSL holders. Things are way different than when there weren't any PSL's and its days like these that make me happy I'm not involved in all this. It doesn't effect me so I'm happy for anyone who benefits from cheap tickets and offers from the Jets that benefit them. No argument in the world can convince me that PSL's are a good thing for fans.

JoJoTownsell1 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Season ticket holders need to stop whining. When you buy season tickets you have to know that there is a chance the team will be terrible (that is the case for every team in every sport). When a team is terrible and they can't sell their seats they routinely run offers like this. If the Jets were 12-1 and you were able to sell your $200 seats for $600 on stubhub, would you return those profits to the Jets? Would you offer your tickets for face because it wouldn't be "fair" to charge a fellow Jet fan MORE than face value? When you buy season tix, you take a gamble. It's the nature of the beast. Unfortunately, as Jets fan the gamble rarely pays off because we are rarely good and when we have been good we don't have home playoff games.

I have the seats I wanted in my own name, I don't have to stress over being a season ticket holder or going to games I want to attend. Woody gets a lifetime pass for anything he does to me now. He freed the 12,000 people on the wait list to get the seats they could only dreamed of. He's our Abraham Lincoln. I love the man. That is no joke. I'd kiss him on the lips if he asked me to.
