JETSFAN5180 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 The stadium is no excuse to stop me from going.Its the ticket prices and the product put on the field.4 uppers 1 parking pass $3k. Preseason tix I dont use.The outrageous concession stand prices.It all adds up to asking yourself is it all really worth it? Or could I put the money to better use.I do enjoy the games in person but if the ticket prices go up again I may not renew.Hard decision for a lifelong fan. The Jets organization is all about EXCUSES the sad part about it is I dont think they care about US the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETSFAN5180 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 so why have you been a fan for THIS long? i wonder how much the Jacksonville Jaguars charge for concessions? im sure their bottled water costs $1, and the Jets are the only team in the world that charges $4.50 for a bottle of water I dont care what anyother team charges for anything.Its about principal and feasability. In case you've never been to a game the reality is far more than a bottle of water at $4.50. A t-shirt sold at Modells for $14.99 is marketed at the game for $30.00.Do they think we are naive or just dumb. Ticket prices have gone up year after year yet the venue on the field has gotten worse.How about ticket prices reflect the performance on the field and prices adjusted accordingly.

SeniorFlaJet Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 That's exactly why i posed the question. If i were a ticket owner, i would be getting close to not wanting to renew them. I'm sure i'm preaching to the chior here, but tickets are not cheap, and they are getting more and more expensive. If people don't make a decision on weather it is costing them 'too much', then prices will continue to rise. Ask any business person, supply and demand, right now there is demand, they are trying to find the point where demand waivers and re-evaluate the situation. In 1975 I bought 4 season tickets for myself and 3 sons. The price for the entire season was $420, I repeat $420. Since that time how many Sbs have they won or even been considered a power house? As a few of the guys on here know I come up from Florida for a lot of games a year costing a nice load of scheckels. The seat I sit in costs $95 a game. The stadium is sold out for every game and there is a waiting list as long as both your arms. There is a lot of reasons for people giving up there seats, change ofjobs health, moving, etc. NOt too many on the boards and I have been on them for 10 years have given up the seats because of the Jets performance. If you lived in East Rutherford and had season tickets don't take it personally when I say this you are full of it if you say you would give them up. Maybe you would consider it but that's as far as it would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Signing two consecutive coaches with zero head coaching experience <everyone wanted Mangini here and RAILED about not hiring "retreads">, never making a spalsh with serious free agents <we signed ty law a year ago and we'll make big signings this offseason with the room we have. also, not necessarily indicative of a team ''not caring''. before this season, when did the patriots make ''splashes''?, having a stadium with the wrong team name on it <won't be the case in 2 years>, being called New York and being from New Jersey <irrelevant> . Playing in Jersey while being called New York may be irrelevant, or it may not - but I know this: Not having your own stadium and playing in "GIANTS STADIUM" is a facking disgrace. Think about how pathetic that is....you cant honestly tell me it doesnt make the Jets franchise look like a 2nd rate franchise. It does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONLY thing that will stop me from going to the games is money. In other words PSLs are the only thing that can squeeze me out at this point. Woody is on the clock. I hate to sound arrogant but I have missed 3 home games in 20 years. If Woody is going to squeeze someone like me out, that is a bad sign. It will be interesting to see what happens.

124 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Taking a stand will do nothing because then there will just be more coporate offices and big companies buying the tickets, selling the September games and then after that, unless the team is good, nobody showing up in those seats. The Jets won't care. Why? Because those tickets were already paid for. Plus, when your waiting list is what? 15,000 people, who cares if a few thousand don't renew because there are obviously another 15,000+ who want those very same tickets. I will never stop going unless it means that to go I'd have to live on the side of the street in NYC. As long as I have a home and car, I will have New York Jets season tickets.

drago Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 people bash the Jets for not trying but that's BS the 2007 team lost what? 8 games by a TD or less? and this was after getting whamboozled by a Patriots juggernaut in week 1, a team that was so good, no one has beaten them all year. They have two HOF locks on offense and a HOF lock at HC. anyone on the Jets with half a brain knew the division and probably conference were done deals after that game. that's the x factor here, the Jets are in the division with the Pats. We have to get real. What you are saying would be like a Red Sox fan complaining that the late 90's teams didn't "try hard enough" to beat the Yankees. Or the early 90's knicks didn't "try hard enough" to beat the Bulls. They try, they just aren't as good. They came up close several times with wild card finishes - and while that "wasn't good enough either" for fans you gotta give the devil his due on this one. Sometimes you are stuck in the divsion with a juggernaut. It doesn't mean you aren't trying but it does mean there is no amount of money you can give free agents to overcome that problem. forget about the pats. we won four games, no matter how you slice it we beat a four win Chiefs team, a one win dolphin team, and a massively over hyped Pittsburgh team.

Barton Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 you know what cures 2nd rate franchises? Winning. Why does it matter what it says on the outside?

Life will be much richer and fuller when you stop caring what people think. Could you see the Yankees playing in "Shea Stadium" every year? I think not. Having our own stadium (NY or NJ) would give us some identity, which this franchise clearly lacks. Seriously, who the hell plays in a stadium of another teams name?

awats Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 With the Jets not putting as much effort into the franchise as i feel most of you are, at what point do you say enough is enough? I dont think the Jets arent putting in the effort in to try and build a winner. Its not as easy as people think it is to build a winner. The team is trying their best to put a winner on the field. And maybe we disagree on how they are doing it. But at no point do I think they arent trying. For me, I will stop going when the price exceeds what I can afford to pay. That will probably be around the time the new stadium opens. I remember the Steeler game where a lot of you were calling out other fans for selling their tickets to the Steelers. Why is that a problem? It is all based on your point of view. I am a die-hard fan. I will go win or lose as long as I can afford the tickets. Others arent so dedicated and only want to support the team when they are successful. The problem is that die-hards feel all season ticket holders should be die-hard fans, and suffer like the rest of us. But that isnt realistic. Most people want to be associated with winners. They dont like being around losers. But if someone spend time on a jets messageboard, I would think they are a die-hard fan, who goes through the ups and downs of a franchise. You understand the love and dedication for your team. Why would you abandon them when they suck? If you love your team, you support them win or lose. If you're a casual fan, you stop going and tune the team out until they are successful. The Jets are making no attempt to become an upper-echelon team, and some don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
