3sixes Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 and those complimentary drinks will NOT be alcoholic either. So unless someone drinks too many energy drinks, they`ll more than likely spend most of the time in the bathrooms and NOT trying to curse at the players through an enclosed greenhouse.

I applauded the Jets for making the entire upper deck PSL free in the new Stadium but this highest bidder strategy may backfire with the economy going down the toilet right now.

I'm sure the Jets projected numbers wont even come close to what they actually get. believe it or not, the metro NYC area still has a few people with 5 K left. one of my buddies is bidding, and he only makes 85k a year PS, the average annual income in fairfield cty CT is 100k. sure greenwich skews it, but there are 60,000 residents in greenwich alone I think they can sell 2,000 tix easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is, will those people spend the kind of money at the auction that the Jets thought they would when they announced the auction back in August?

Maxman Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 There are a few threads on this, I am going to merge them all together.

ZachEY Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I applauded the Jets for making the entire upper deck PSL free in the new Stadium but this highest bidder strategy may backfire with the economy going down the toilet right now. I'm sure the Jets projected numbers wont even come close to what they actually get. No, but I'm sure they'll still be big numbers. The people who were planning on playing ball in these auctions are still going to play ball in these auctions as they're not the ones that have been crushed by this. Do you really think Joe America who's 150K in retirement savings is now worth 90K was originally planning on sitting in those seats? Those seats are going to corps and millionaires.

shawn306 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I think you are going to see this in the very near future on billboard and in radio and TV print ads Jets vs Whoever :Tickets available. I will be shocked if every seat in that house is sold. The way the economy is and the just flat out ridiculous prices they are going to charging. I would not be surprised if they don't sell everything. The fact that they are bring in an outside pr or whatever to help sell these should tell that this is not going over well with the general public, (rich,poor or in the middle). I could be wrong but this to me is a bad sign for Woody. Maybe he should start the bidding at $1,000 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeniorFlaJet Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If you were considering buying the PSL's has this situation changed your mind?? Some I know who were considering it have put this on the back burner. I have also heard and its a rumor that if things continue, the teams will have to lower the prices.

Lil Bit Special Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If you were considering buying the PSL's has this situation changed your mind?? Some I know who were considering it have put this on the back burner. I have also heard and its a rumor that if things continue, the teams will have to lower the prices. The lousy economy wont impact PSL sales too much. People need entertainment and enjoyment in times of struggle. People will find the money to make it happen. It is still a special and unique thing to do. Heck, it might be the most secure investment around right now... Corporations will still do it since there is a huge write off of that sh!t. The biggest scare that fans should have is once the stadium is opened, the teams may jack up ticket prices in PSL sections to make more money to pay off their loans and interest payments. And what can a PSL owner do? If they dont buy the tickets they are out their PSL money. They will be forced to pay the new price for game tickets.

Larz Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 for the JETS, the financial impact will be a near complete change over of the season ticket population i will be more corporate/business ownership where the costs can be written off and upper crusty types the joe six pack will get squeezed out, but woody will sell his seats for the NFL, this is a huge problem. wouldn't shock me to see a few franchises struggle or even fold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4HCrew Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If it truly impacts anyone it could be the corporations that would throw money at boxes and stuff.

A lot of those folks are scared right now you're right, but my point is the whole demographic of the season ticket holders will change. thos folks who are worried will have to choose between season tix and college tuition oir whatever I'm not worried about the richies.

I also agree that the demographic of the fan in the stadium is going to change dramatically. I'm wondering if the "wanabe" rich are going to cough up the $40,000 or so.
