LOL. those are great seats. how many years did it take to get that close? i dont know anything about season tickets but i was to believe that you start in like the nose bleeds and every year if someone gives up better seats you can move up?

LOL. My issue is trying to walk around around the stadium from your seats. It's like a godamn maze. Live games are incredible. So far they haven't had one in TurdLife. I'm sure the OP will be thrilled to see a game in a real stadium 👍If anything it will save him the money of flying here to see game in the Great Air Conditioner! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicketybam Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 19 minutes ago, Dcat said: Exactly. Just like you wanted to piss on our british friend's excitement here. Works both ways, don't it? Really... no one cares that you don't/won't attend live games and more so, no one cares why. Just like you don't care where I sit. I still don't get your motive for pissing in the thread. Maybe you are that self-unaware for what that was. Leave it at that. And for what it's worth, I'm going to England to see a LIVE game 👍 Live football is great for a game or two a year (my opinion) It's even better when the stadium doesn't blow donkey balls like MetLife. I couldn't be more excited to see the Jets play live in England this year 😊👍 Season tickets holder from 1986 to 2013. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet_Engine1 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 3 hours ago, ARodJetsFan said: Again, that was 25 yrs ago, the fan experience was a lot different back then and you got a little more bang for your buck. That Game was in Miami.... and after Marcus Coleman took Marino 99 yards for a Pick 6, I got REALLY loud... and the Dolphins fans got mad, so one of them told a LEO that I punched somebody to get me thrown out. NO, I didn't get in a fight that game (Well, in the stands), and the guys just told me I had to leave and weren't going to charge me with some BS Battery that never happened.... so I missed the last bit of the game. Miami is the WORST place to watch the Jets, its a Zoo, especially on PT games. Contrast that with a combined/mixed Jets and Chargers fan tailgate I went to this past season. Everyone was normal and cool. But yeah, the stadium was bad. I bought Tix in a package deal and was way up in the high 300's, worst seats I have ever had in any stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen 4 or 5 Jets games there and it's always been dicey. I did see Brett Favre fake a hand-off and hit Jericho Cotchery on a play-action bomb, for like 60 yds, probably my most memorable Miami/Jets live game experience.

Going to Jet games is a great joy to many of us. Despite the toxicity spewed by a select number of jagoffs around here who can't help themselves, it's a fun time, and hopefully we'll have some more thrills this year than usual. The novelty of going to a game at Tottenham is going to be awesome too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethead Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 5 hours ago, Alka said: While I agree with you, there are some games that end up being better if you are actually at the game. Of course, you must have primo seats to even make that statement. My family had season tickets on the 40 yard line, 12 rows from the field. I was at a Jets/ Miami game when the Jets beat Dan Marino 51-45 in overtime, with Wesley Walker catching a bomb and running into the end zone for the win. That game was exhilarating to actually witness it in person. Yes! I was lucky enough to be a that one too! What a gas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethead Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Also at Shea Sept 10,1969 when the Mets took a twi-nighter from the Expos to go into First Place for good on their epic run. The stands were actually shaking. #1 fan moment ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets coming back from a massive deficit. Final drive heading straight for right field end zone. The entire Loge corner was bouncing up and down. Thought the thing would just break and fall to the field level. Never experienced anything like it other than in an amusement park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggs Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Jets-Chiefs 69 playoff game. Standing room section at Shea. Snuck in using my Harry M. Stevens vendor card. Back in those days you were able to work 10 hours in freezing conditions for a major corporation when you were underage. Tough game, tough conditions, heart breaking loss.

FootballLove Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 First live game what struck me as odd was once in a while the players would just stop playing...offense and defense out on the field, hands on hips, just milling about, chatting it up with players from the other team for a few minutes. TV time-outs are strange when at the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Rasmussen Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 My first ever Jets game was a rainy day around Shea 12/8/68.The Jets beat the Bengals 27-14 and my neighbor who had season tickets had an extra. I was 16 yo then and was sitting about 3/4 of the way up in the upper deck at Shea section 1 which would have been behind home plate in the baseball figuration. Got my own Season Tickets in 1973 after graduating from College. Still have them now in 314 but they are used mainly by my kids. I go to at least 2 games a year but this year hope to make them all. Seems that I say that every year around this time but at my age its becoming easier for my wife to convince me to stay home with her instead of fighting the elements and traffic to get nauseous watching the product on the field.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great game and a great time. On the other side of the coin, I was at the fake spike game against the Dolphins. Believe it or not, I called the fake spike before it happened. Jets were winning the game, and then the air went out of the stadium, and the Jets of course lost that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantasy Island Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 On 6/20/2024 at 10:28 AM, ARodJetsFan said: I remember back in 2011 (mid-November) paying around $500.00 for a seat mid-field, about 9 rows behind the Jets bench, at Metlife Stadium when the Jets were taking on the Patriots - the Jets were 4-0 at home up to that point. The train ride in sucked and while the seats were great, as far as the view that I had, the Jets played like absolute garbage & got shellacked 37-16, which was their 1st home loss of the season. That was the first & last time, I made the trip out to MetLife Stadium, what a miserable experience, which wound costing me about $750.00 altogether - that would be a little over $1,049.00 today. Thanks, but no thanks. That was a great story!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me spending that kind of cash on a game would virtually guarantee a Vikings win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
