Maxman Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 We have talked about this a bunch lately. But has the free agent spending spree changed your view of the ticket prices? For me I was pissed when we got another ticket price increase and my seats went to $115 each. I was dreading writing that check. Now just a short while later the ticket prices seem like an after thought. Why? We have a front office that seems to want to win as much as we want them to. Will it all work out? Who knows, maybe not. But they are being aggressive and trying to make this team better. As a Jets fan that is something that you can't always say. The price of the ticket really seems less important to me now that they have gotten rid of the stench I like to call a 4 win season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green DNA Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Well that's good timing because my invoice arrived today. In the past there would be a letter regarding the past season and hopes for the upcoming season and possibly trying to explain the price increase. This year there is a card with the prices listed on it and that's that. Businesss is business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYJETS3233 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 another thing these signings are gonna do is for woody to be able to say " Hey the ticket prices are raised cause we brought in some big names. its just gonna justify the price raises with the signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSFAN5180 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Championships,play-off appearances and wins justify ticket increases.Signing players means nothing until they prove themselves on the field. Did they include the free hat in the invoice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4HCrew Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 All this does is help Woody justify increases going forward...spending the money to make the team a winner... umm Woody championships are not won on paper. At the same time he had to start making some splashes before entering into the new stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it easier for you to write the check for this years tickets now that they have spent some money? Or will you believe it (this team winning) when you see it on the field?

4HCrew Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 The Faneca signing made me feel a little better yes... as did the thoughts of the Jets spending money and trying to be aggressive. But to me the proof is in the pudding. The Jets have had years in the past when they spent a sh$tload and ended up 3-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSFAN5180 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Im still undecided as to writing my check 4 tickets plus parking looking at a mere $3400.00. I could remodel my 1/2 bathroom and laundry room.And buy alot of beer to watch from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 The spending spree has completly shut me up... for now. However, if this team is off to a 1-3, 1-4 start, the voices will come back rather quickly. This team better be successful, not just aggressive in Free Agency, to raise the ticket prices after a 4-12 season. Just win baby, just win.

Dude, we're not ONLY using free agency to build the team, we still have a draft you know. Personally, I dont think we'll be much better then a 2nd rd. playoff team this year at best, but I can definately see us going for it all 2 or 3 years down the road if we continue to draft well.

BwanaZulia Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I know I am king homer, but no, the two don't equate for me. I look at the tickets as just that, tickets to go see entertainment. I always think the Jets will be competitive and give me good entertainment value (that doesn't necessarily mean winning). BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jets had a good draft last year..but it is not like they are the Ravens drafting talent every year, and actually their free agent moves in the past have been questionable as well. Are they improved, yes... will it be fun to watch..yes is the Jets qb situation still less than impressive yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you going to feel if they go 1-15 like they did in 96 after their last free agent binge ? Raising ticket prices after a 4-12 season no matter how you cut is lame.

Jet Moses Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Right now I am eating a bologna sandwich that I brought in for lunch. I'm eating it for breakfast because although I was planning to buy a bagel this morning, I looked in my wallet, but I didn't even have a dollar. Looks like I'll be having cookies for lunch again. I just spent 460 dollars to replace the timing belt in my car. I'm looking for part time work on the weekends to make ends meet. F Woody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFan220 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 i know people who just gave up their tickets this year because the team seems to be reluctant to spend money to get better...now those people are kicking themselves but i still think prices are outrageous...i am a sport marketing major and most of my professors believe that pro-teams (especially in this area) want all corporate sales so they can raise prices every year without average-joes like us complaining.

The thing is, spending the money does not guarantee success on the field, so I'd suggest that the fans who gave up the season tickets postpone kicking themselves until Mangini is hoisting the Lombardi.

No doubt but lets not forget how Bradway and Herm served us sh*t salad while Woody raised ticket prices. Bradway let Randy Thomas and kareem Mckenzie walk because of cheapness, yet even factoring in for inflation Tanny gives Faneca more than what those two players were asking. I'm not sure if the difference is Tanny, or if Woody has finally reached critical mass where he knows he can't lowball his employees any more.
