jetstream23 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 FYI - I went to the game in Philadelphia this past weekend. (Don’t ask!) Long story, short - The experience there was as bad or worse than MetLife in terms of security lines and using mobile tickets to get through the gate. Took almost 30 minutes to get through the gate and we were heading in at 12:30 PM. It’s the same process with the same type of live, mobile ticket at the Jets utilize.

Lots of railings and obstructions. SAR I Thanks, but that's the corner, I'm asking about sideline seats behind the 4th row "wall" (look upstairs next game to see what I'm talking about). I am thinking that they are the only non-obstructed affordable seats that are free of idiot standee risk. However, doesn't much matter because I can't see any for sale anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to the luxury box, NFL teams will treat you like $1 million. Otherwise you are a mark, to be fleeced, at the lowest cost to said NFL team. Mobile tickets save them printing, postage paper and staff, And they use even less staff at entry, no matter what the problems. You will be treated no better than an inmate at a correctional facility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mebunn Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I went to the philly game with 6 tixs.

nj meadowlands Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Boy I can't wait for the "game day experience" of sitting amongst 40,000 Cowboys fans on Sunday. Hopefully Darnold return excites enough Jets fan interest that it's only 35,000 Cowboys fans. OH! And I can't wait for the "game day experience" of getting home at 10pm. And the gameday experience of the PREMIOOOOO SAUSAGEEEEE GIVEAWAY set to a delightful Crazy Train / FloRida mash-up. Hopefully the Rays win tomorrow so that Game 1 is at Yankee Stadium on Saturday night and I'm too tired to care about all this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be treated no better than an inmate at a correctional facility. I was in the Club section for the game but not a luxury box. It was a surprisingly good experience....except for the atrocious play of the Jets. Didn't get the full Philadelphia experience though as Eagles fans didn't even heckle me much....they just felt sorry. By the 3rd quarter I was ready to just ask some random person to sucker punch me so that I'd really feel like I was at a Philly game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app I think what they do in order to preserve at least minimum performance on WiFi in stadiums is limit the number of connections per access point. If they overload the network the experience crawls for everyone. If they limit it to say 5,000 people in a certain corner of the stadium then in theory those folks (once connected) should get a minimally decent experience....like being able to push/receive text, app data, etc. easily but probably not stream video, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson King Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 On 10/2/2019 at 9:18 PM, The Crimson King said: Meadowlands seating question re: Upper Level Rows 1-4 are "Upper Prime" with a concrete wall behind row 4. The first few rows are obscured a bit by the railing and the last is a big idiot-standee risk. So how about row 5, which is above the "Prime" seats? Does the railing obscure the field at all? It seems that an average height person could sit there with no obstructions without standee risk. Anyone know? No one answered so I am posting this in case someone else needs to know and is able to search the subject I took the chance and got tix in this row for the 10/21 game. Turns out that any obstruction is mild. The top of the 7 bars in front of you obscures the sideline but a quick lean forward takes care of that. Best of all, anyone standing in the first 4 rows do not get between you and the field at all. These are better priced seats than Upper row 1-4 except for the middle two sections (which are still Upper Prime) so they may be the "bargain" seats in this ballpark. No PSL's if any are available for season tix. Just stay between the 15's and on row 5 itself. Now not to impugn the high priced seats but to pay $1,000 for 4 seats like the fellows tailgating next to us last night and getting a game like this (the wife calls them Ollie Perez specials, they are over right at the start) hurts. Could have gone to a Michelin 3 star with that money. Two Thumbs Up for Upper Sideline row 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Hills Tennis Stadium is all mobile tickets through an app; been there for several concerts. No problems at all. Now it doesn't seat nearly as many people as New Shea or the Meadowlands. But that venue anyway has a handle on it, mostly because they have enough personnel on hand at entry. And that really is the issue, they don't have enough people staffing the entrances.
