Matt39 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Watching Darnold go 3-0, this is obviously an ownership problem. The Johnsons love the fact that the tri-state folk who will never leave regardless of the taxes will continue to show up on Sundays and tailgate no matter of the pitifulness of the team. Drink beers, have fun- I get it. I love going back to New York and seeing the people on the same barstool where I left them. I love the tradition. Mare of Eastown sh*t. But the owners are banking on the area and this tradition. I must ask- whats's keeping you spending your money when ownership is laughing at you? No judgement zone either. I love tailgating. It's just the Johnsons have no interest on returning the favor. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinc855 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Oh stop….The Johnsons don’t coach, they don’t draft, they don’t call plays, and they don’t play games on the field. The Johnsons aren’t perfect but they hired the GM you all wanted, who hired the coach. The GM made the decision to scrap Darnold. The Johnsons are rich. We get it. It’s an easy out. The Johnsons however, are not the reason the Jets are looking awful right now 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BP Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 I had season tickets for 30 years 1978-2007 and only saw 5 home playoff games. They were $8.00 a ticket in 1978 and you didn’t have to buy pre season tickets. now it’s 11 years of the shiny 1.6 billion dollar ac vent and all those psl’s and how many home playoff games? And jets tickets were more expensive than giant tickets in 2012 and they won 2 Super Bowls in 5 years. The whole purpose used to be to get first dibs on playoff tix. And Hess would refund your playoff money, not hold onto it for a year like woody does. see below from a 1980 game day pro magazine 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sec143dmf Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Simple and honest answer is because I feel stuck. I bought two PSL's and I can honestly say it is the dumbest thing I have ever bought in my life. That was 15k and it is really hard for me to walk away from that kind of money with nothing in return. So stupidly I give in and buy my seats every year and try to make the best of it. September/October it is pretty easy to find someone to go to the games with me but after that none of my friends have any interest and I don't even ask them to pay for the ticket and at times I sell my seats at a loss. I guess the correct thing for me to do is walk away and just eat the 15k and not give away more of my money but I always have a little hope that we may finally get good again. Buying those PSL's was my worst purchase and hell I've bought plenty of stupid things in my life. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kmnj Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 for me being a jet fan and going to games was a way of life-I went for over 40 years going back to shea as a kid with my father. I have attended over 300 games at home and on the road-I have sat through some terrible football over those years-the only joy that was football related was the parcells and rex eras. The actual joy I always had was spending time with my father who was the best guy I knew and the greatest jets fan ever(he had tickets since inception) I lost him 1.5 years ago and have not been since. I walked away from all my paid psls as well. As a strictly football decision it was easy-the jets are just a terrible franchise and Joe D is following in the footsteps of those before him although fans that are new to the jets misery cant see it yet. There is ZERO reason to buy season tickets these days. There are no perks like there was in the old days. PSLS are the worst as you pay full price for pre season and all of the original perks one by one they took away-when the opened up the green lot to everybody it just showed once they had your money they did not care about customer service. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmnj Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I still watch the games but it is easy to turn off , easy to get cold beers at my house and there are no traffic jams outside either.

It's just the Johnsons have no interest on returning the favor. I enjoy watching the Jets in person and while it has been rough lately, there is no place like the stadium when they are playing well and winning exciting games. Season tickets are a form of entertainment dollars. It does not matter to me that the owners are rich or poor. It is about the team and enjoying the atmosphere and fellow fans. I also go with family members so that little bit of time you get to be together is worth the money for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 48,000 non-upper deck non-club seats in MetLife Stadium. With the average PSL owner carrying 3 seats, that's only 16,000 people that are writing checks to the Jets each year. And there are 1.2 million millionaires in the region. Those of us who have PSL's and/or season tickets can afford it. If the you don't have the $3,800 needed for season tickets that's fine, no judgement. Just don't you judge those of us that do.

It was MUCH better before PSLS-we had the same seats every year and the same fans next to us. These days the perks for the psls are mostly gone and the folks next to you are different most weeks as the psl owner sells to try and recoup some money. It should be noted I had several psls including the best sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE BARON Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I used to have season tickets. Not any longer. I *was* a third generation ticket holder. It went from Grandfather, to my father to me. I was always put off by having to pay full price for two preseason tickets. Then the PSL's came along. Seemed a bit disrespectful and rapacious. But, I went along with it because I still had fun at the games. Then, they signed Michael Vick. That was the end of the line for me. I cancelled my tickets and pawned my PSL. The greed didn't drive me away nor did the poor on-filed performance. I was disgusted by an owner/gm that thought it was a good idea to bring Vick on board. Considering what I knew about his exploits, I could not bring myself to rout for them. I also know several other long time ticket holders that walked away after that.
