JETSFAN5180 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Or purchase tickets through online agencies for home games.They are plentiful and so what if you pay a little extra.You wont be contractually obligated to pay for preseason tickets or pay to have PSL $$$$ in non-interest bearing account.(Except if your the NYJETS).

Maxman Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Or purchase tickets through online agencies for home games.They are plentiful and so what if you pay a little extra.You wont be contractually obligated to pay for preseason tickets or pay to have PSL $$$$ in non-interest bearing account.(Except if your the NYJETS). This is interesting. Let's leave the PSL cost out of the discussion for now since that is an unknown amount. But if you just buy 8 games of a seat that let's assume would cost $150 at face you could probably save money. Any game that you bought at face value would be a profit for you. Or you could buy them marked up to almost $190 per game which would be the break even cost (factoring in the cost of the 2 preseason games that you are forced to buy as a season ticket holder). Doing it this way you can not feel pressured to go to games in August on a Friday night. And you can also miss a game here and ther eduring the regular season without it costing you any money. It is worth considering. I know you already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garb Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Max, I think you should do a road trip to Gilette Satdium. There's an Internation House of Pancakes right down the street. Mmmmm....pancakes, all kind of pancakes. Oh, and I hear they never run out - being a pancake house and all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmm....pancakes, all kind of pancakes. Oh, and I hear they never run out - being a pancake house and all.... I do love pancakes. I am not the kind of person that gets violent if an establishment runs out of them or anything but I do love them. Went camping last weekend and made them for breakfast. Golden brown. Yum yum. No road trip for me though. Thanks for the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea the things I've seen and heard during the annual Jets fans trek to Gillette. Plus, trying to get game day tix to Gillette is a costly endeavor. I got lucky and was able to purchase some tix - at cost - from a season ticket holder who wanted to unload some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max I did all my homework before surrendering the season tickets.It killed me after 14 years but I had to make a tough decision.$650 for pre-season and games I couldnt attend,when the NYJETS are playing bad you cant give them away. I never liked selling the to opposing teams fans. I will upgrade my seat based on affordability each week.Something the NYJETS failed to do for 14 years of requesting it. Im not in any way bashing season ticket holders who choose to stay part of the program even with the additional added PSL fee.I just couldnt do it.

SayNoToDMC Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I refuse to pay PSL's and I know enough people who have season tickets that I can show up and always get an extra at face or less, an if not I have no problem using stub hub. Which is what I'll be doing this year, they should be rewarding me for still following this team and wanting to support then as a season ticket holder, not feeding me bull**** about how this is an investment.

joiseyjet Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Well I who am 1 of the most out spoken people on this subject am considering paying "IF" I can find a way to pay the $10,000 it will cost me to keep 2 of my 4 lower tickets ,I mean WOODY ,the Mara`s *& Tichs are all billionaires and all the money from the assorted naming right fees and lux. boxes ,they really don`t need this extream amount of money from me,but I am accepting what is ,is what is, So Woody show us you really want to do something to help out all us long time fans/season ticket holders .Set up a deal with the official JET/GIANT bank that allows us to to make payments on these things for sat 5 years INTEREST FREE then what ever balance is left after that the usual credit card rate will kick in .At this point I am not asking him to do awy with the PSL`s just any interest any any other exter cost on top of these already high fee`s this would be a good showing by the owners..` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BwanaZulia Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 When the wife and I go down to Miami it is usually for a few days, so there is no comparison. We will blow through at least $1,500 - $2,000 for the weekend between hotel, tickets, air, car and dining. That x 8 would = a lot of PSL.
