Jet Fan RI Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Tried to buy 2 tickets for the game with the Bills on Oct 14. Tried to pay using both a mastercard and an american express card. Both times got a message that that type of card could not be used. I think they are pressuring for the use of visa. Is there any way to buy these tickets without having to open a visa account?

jeremy2020 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I'm guessing there's some other problem. The secret exclusion of mastercard and american express when ticketmaster lists it as an accepted payment form (American express is also listed as accepted) would be surprising. I'd do the logical thing and contact ticketmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Fan RI Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Oh, is it ticketmaster that runs the single-game sales on the Jets web page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably that you selected tickets that are part of the "VISA Presale" or similar. I don't believe that general open-to-all tickets are actually on sale yet, when I looked it was Season Ticket Holder Presale and (probably) VISA Presale, and resale of course, only. That was early on tho, so who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Fan RI Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Not sure about what's being sold right now. But I know the seats I wanted this AM are gone now. Whole sections looks sold out. Forunately, I was able to get 2 other seats. For some reason, my mastercard worked this time around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Cap One Savor card (MasterCard) and it gives back 3-4% on any entertainment. I use it for my jets tix, concerts and anything sports, theater or movies. No problems yet with TicketMaster either using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my cards get denied at least I know it is because of my impending bankruptcy. That is comforting. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy there tough guy - I was responding to @Maxman simply with information that I received from my rep. If your insinuation is that I am gullible - get in line - your not the first. Here's a thought that is difficult I know but I find it usually 100% accurate at least in the business world. Take time to listen and comprehend and don't always rush to hear or see your opinion or response. Sometimes rare as it might be the person speaking to you actually has something of value to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to some, sales are going well. Last season there were tons of new STHs for the year and many did not renew. They are in the process with catching up to last year. I think they will do so easily by September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the reason for the buy back this year they are hoping that if they give jets credit for next season people will renew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that is a sign of larger crowds and more jet fans in the stands - of course winning will dictate that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting angle and if that is the case I can’t imagine the jets are going to offer the trade back at a substantial loss of the orig ticket value i have not seen anything published yet but if they offer 50% if the original ticket price, there is no incentive to take the credit and lock in for year 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bunch if service fees attached ala ticketmaster ridiculous fees. The Jets: (1) want STH to stick around more than a year or two, so offering the full price buy-back to us makes the idea of being a STH more attractive. (2) believe strongly that resale of 2024 tickets will bring in more than did the original sale. As of the moment, I plan to go to all of the games as there aren't any holidays, weddings or other events in the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
