jimfire Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 JUST RECEIVED A LETTER STATING ALL TICKET HOLDERS WITH 5 SEATS OR LESS WILL BE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE 1 AND ONLY 1 "PARKING PERMIT" WHICH GIVES YOU THE PRIVLEDGE OF PAYING YOUR YOUR $15 TO PARK. SO ONLY ONE CAR WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARK @ COMPLEX PER GAME. THE COST WILL BE $150 WHICH MUST BE PURCHASED PRIOR TO JUNE 15TH. NO EXTRA PERMITS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE. IF YOU DONT HAVE A PERMIT YOU WILL BE SHUTTLED TO THE GAME FROM REMOTE LOTS SEVERAL MILES AWAY.(UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME) THEY CLAIM THE NEW RAIL LINK WORK IS THE REASON. YOU RECEIVE ONE PERMIT PER GAME. (CAN BE TRADED OFF WITH YOUR TICKETS, IF SO INCLINED) NO MORE RESERVED PARKING IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS YEAR EITHER. THIS IS GONNA BLOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenScreen313 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 can you imagine those shuttle rides? they'd probably be fun. this is good for global warming. Sorry to people who have had season tickets for a while and are unhappy with changes, but if you don't like it ... sitting at home with a sandwich, watchin' the game in high definition isn't a bad option in my book.

4HCrew Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 typical response greenscreen..screw the season ticket holders who are complaining as they have received almost annual increases on a product that has yet produced a championship. Us fortunate ones should embrace increased costs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwanaZulia Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I don't know how I feel. On one hand, **** THE MAN!!! HE CAN'T TAKE MY MONEY!!! On the other hand, I only drive with one car and always go and always pay $15 a game, times 10 games = $150. So, really no difference. Also, if it means less traffic, well... that is good. As long as I can tailgate, drink, eat and maybe swing by 16H I will be happy. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaborJet Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Is this a temporary thing until the new stadium is completed, since the construction will take up a major portion of the lot? Funny, people complained about the lack of tailgating if the stadium was built on the west side of Manhattan, preferring Jersey or Queens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainzo Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 That's only for Pats fans. Jets fans eat and drink on the house! I'm headed down the same road. Kraft has decided that Foxboro is going to be a retail destination and is building all kinds of stuff down there. I may be taking a shuttle bus myself as the parking lots are construction sites.

Pragmatic Bus Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 you know what i'm tired of all the complaining by season ticket holders. no offense but i live in cali and cannot even watch all jets games. last year they cut a prime time jets vs chicago on fox. they showed the whole pregame **** by terry bradshaw and howie long but game time they switched to "married with children". we should be the one complaining. "if you dont like the terms dont get the perms" thats what i have to say about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Well now I'm completely confused. We have the tickets from a company and they purchase 6 tickets a year. 4 go to 4 guys, 2 go to me and my father. So, since they have 6 tickets, does that mean that they do not have to pay the Parking Permit before hand and we will just have to pay the $15 on gameday? Whats going on...?

I'm sorry you happen to live in Cali. For those of us who have season tickets we get f-d over all the time. We pay our money (more and more every year) and I'm sick and tired over hearing from people who live 3,000 miles away saying they would take my tickets if they had the chance because they never get to go to a game.

So, since they have 6 tickets, does that mean that they do not have to pay the Parking Permit before hand and we will just have to pay the $15 on gameday? Whats going on...? From what I understand, the company will have to purchase the parking permit, only 1. therefore, you and your dad will not be able to park in the stadium lot, assuming the guy with the 4 tickets is the one who uses the pass. Also what is going on down there, is they will be inforcing the 1 spot rule that has been in place and never been inforced. George Zoffinger, the head of the Sports Complex, was talking about this a week or so ago, it was in the Bergen Record when they were doing a story about Xanadu. Right now, the whole south-east lot, just off RT. 120, is ripped up and under construction. soon they will be moving onto the other side of the stadium, near Rt. 3. Bottom line is tailgating as we know it there is done for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody is an ******* also,just saying. I hate Kraft. When I purchased my season tickets in 1992 they were $27 (5 yard line, 7 rows from the field) now they are $125 and parking is $35. The only good thing Kraft has done was not going the PSL route when he built Gillette. I can live with that. I feel bad for the Jets season tickets holders as they are going to be F-d over big time with the new Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The product is good, people want to "consume" it, they screw the buyers. Capitalism, baby. I just wish Kraft would shut up with the "I was a season ticket holder...blah, blah, blah....I bought the team to keep in in my home....blah, blah, blah.....I did it for all of us...blah, blah, blah." Give me a break! Gainzo, how bad is traffic 'gonna be once the Kraft Retail/Hotel/ego-plex is complete? It already sucks out loud. Jeezus...I'm not looking forward to it.

4HCrew Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 at least Pats fans have had success to celebrate...the Jets raise ticket prices due to the accomplishment of making the playoffs.

I may come off as prick with this statement, but here it is: The Jets play in the biggest media market in America and the ticket prices have been below market value for years. Parking is only $15! Are you kidding me? You guys have been spoiled for a long time. Unfortunately the time has come for you to pay "real world" prices for tickets and parking.

Garb Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 The Jets share the biggest media market in America with the Giants. if there was only one team in NY you would have a point. But it's two different teams with two different fan bases that share the biggest media market....which means they will milk the fans for what they can get - seperately, not collectively. That's my guess, anyway. Isn't the cost of the new stadium some ridiculous amount that makes what Kraft paid look like lunch money? What is the figure?

You (we) are already buying an overpriced ticket to the game, it is just a rip off to get screwed on the parking also. Believe it or not the $35 parking doesn't bother me that much. Am I getting bent over? Of course, but Krafty needs to pay back the $325 million he financed to build Gillette. My beef is with some people who post here and say they would pay anything to have season tix and then proceed to poke fun at us who do have season tickets because we have the balls to complain about being treated like crap. I pay $3,750 a year to go to Pats games. Thats 3 tickets for every home game. I feel I have the right to bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giants have a die hard group of fans and media..the Jets are often pushed to the back pages while the Giants are on the front pages after both teams win,so there is a ''bias shared media'' leaning the Giants way. I have a point. The Jets and Giants can draw from a population base 3 or 4 times bigger than New England (6 states, not 2).
