Maxman Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 It has come to this, the Jets are now trying to sell season tickets using google adwords. After a one billion dollar new stadium project the Jets have taken out ads all over the internet. Look at the top of this page, you may see the ad: Get Jets Tickets Now. Woody and his greed, they have hit rock bottom. Reminds me of Mayo in An Officer and a Gentleman. Don't you do it! Don't! You... I got nowhere else to go! I got nowhere else to g... I got nothin' else. Plenty of seats available, the season ticket waiting list is a distant memory. Woody while cry about bad timing and steel costs but it didn't have to be this way. Could blackouts be a reality in 2009? The Jets released their PSL prices after the Giants. The Jets said there would be no PSL in the upper deck. It was a rare moment of marketing excellence from the Jets. The problem is to make up the difference, the Jets decided to try and charge 20k or more for the best seats. And the high rollers said thanks but no thanks. The coaches club auction? They said it was a chance for fans to get the best seats and they would let the market set the price. Yet they didn't sell all the seats initally because the market wasn't what they expected. Hypocritical. As a publisher thought I have to thank the Jets. JetNation.com made $4.16 today through google. We are not sure where we are going to spend that money but we can safely rule out season tickets. We have been priced out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny green balls Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Sucks big time. At least the beers are cold and cheap where I catch all the games: http://www.artfuldodgerphilly.com/ The bar was actually a barracks for the continental marines fighting the brits - that's philly for ya. Anyone in Philly on game day drop by; they always put the Jets on one TV for me even if the iggles are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war ensemble Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 The upper deck seats would've been cheaper after a few years if they went with the Giants' PSL and pricing plan. The Jets make up for it and then some with the price hike over a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still trying to figure out how you can basically "sell" the same seats twice, at a rate that would be more than the cost of a "full" seat everywhere else. Weird.

Many do give you an option to buy tickets presale, but no guarantee you get your specific seats. Biggest problem is people misunderstand what a PSL is. You arent buying the seat, you are buying the right to purchase tickets for that seat for a specific event.. not every event the stadium/arena has. PSL is just a cute name.

Klecko73isGod Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Part of this is greed but it's mostly the economy. The only team I've heard have an uptick in ticket sales this offseason is the Vikings and that's only because of Favre's ****teasing of the organization. Here in Jacksonville, the Jaguars are seriously looking at the possibility of every single game, including preseason, being blacked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If had tp plunk down 20k PSL a seat but knew that seat was mine for any event i wanted, I'd be much more inclined to do it.. I think some of you are making that out like it is a bigger deal in other stadiums than it really is. More than anything else it give you the right to transfer your season tickets to another person. At other stadiums for some events the owners of PSL get right of first refusal for some events. Ussully phrased as such, "owners of PSLs will get rights of first refusal for all events not deemed as exempt." Now here is the issue what is exempt? Lets say Dallas hosts the superbowl. Are the cowboys PSL/STH going to see the came or are the tickets going to be distrbuted based on the NFLs formula for tickets? That event will be exempt. Lets say Baltimore hosts the olympics. Are PSL owners going to the opening cermonies or are tickets for that going to be distrubted based by the IOC? That event is going to be exempt. If a presidental candiate rents a football stadium for his nomination speech. (Denver doesn't have PSLs anyway) but do you think the PSL is getting you in over a delegate if they had them. With something like a concert is is up to the artist or promoters to decided if they want the event exempt or not. Often the artist will like the idea of giving PSLs first right of refusal, because they want to sell the tickets and the PSL list is a good list of potential buyers. I woud guess even now when there is an event at Giants stadiums Jet STHs get an email urging them to buy tickets to the events and maybe even occationally Giants and Jets STHs get a chance to buy tickets a day or two before they go general.

Too corporate for my taste. It's also a steelers bar. Plus I live like 4 blocks from artful dodger and the owner went to the culinary institute in Poughkeepsie so the food is damn good. also i prefer the colonial ambiance of the surrounding buildings to the skyscrapers surrounding fox and hound.

Yeah, the place does have a corporate feel. I didn't notice a Steelers vibe though, as I said, the (very) few times I've been there, it was pretty eclectic. If I was a local I'd probably check out some other places, but I only get down there for a weekend about every other month, so since my friend lives on Rittenhouse, it's good enough. Waitresses are usually pretty cute. The food is about what you'd expect. Forgettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are sold out for 2009 and only have 4,000 seats left for 2010 and beyond in the new stadium (all higher priced PSL seats). Why? Because they are winners.

Maxman Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Blacked out in NYC? I think not. I don't think they will be blacked out in 2009. But in the new stadium in 2010, who is buying the 30,000 PSLs? They should be able to work something out to avoid blackouts but it is on the radar as a possibility. That shows how much they missed the mark by. Scare off a few fans no problem. Scare away half the stadium and your waiting list, not so good.

Most middle class folks can't put down 4K a seat just for the right to pay for seats... How many average working families have an extra 16K that's completely disposable?
