124 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I could do both, but it would be easier, and more likely, that your friends stay home for the Super Bowl, which would cost $4-5,000 a person, as opposed to Indy which you could do for $1,000-1,200 a person.

CTM Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 In my opinion it just doesn't make sense to make this trip, and I am usually the first person to head out on a road trip. If you are the same as me, you are DEFINITELY going to the superbowl if the jets make it, no question. HAving said that and if you are also going to go to the superbowl there are 2 possible outcomes for next week. 1) The jets lose to indy. I really don't feel like spending a ton of money and traveling to see a loss. The ride home always sucks, and you know colts fans will be particularly douchey because of week 16. 2) the jets win, in which case who cares about being at the AFC champ game because I AM GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!! Why spend the money and take the time off for this game, I would rather put it toward my superbowl trip. Lets say airfor costs 300 when it is said and done, tix will cost 200 at leas and hotel for one night will be 150. I would take that 650 and put it toward a better bowl ticket or for Tootsies victory lap dances in miami. I just don't see any real benefit to going to this game, unless you have all the time and money that going to both games just is no big deal for you. Dude.. I heard it's like 1800 to buy a single (bad) SB ticket today and the teams aren't even known yet. Next week it could be 50% more, not to mention how expensive the hotels will be.. It makes sense to go to this game if the SB isnt going to be feasible.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked on the http://nfl.com/ticketexchange site. For Indy tickets start at $200 in the uppers. For the Super Bowl they start at $2,000 for the uppers. I am thinking Indy sounds pretty good. If the Jets make it to the Super Bowl maybe a JetNation Super Bowl bash is in order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 i'll go if someone buys me a game ticket' date=' a $250 gas card and parking pass lol[/quote'] That's roughly 700 bucks. I will pay that if I can kick you in the nuts as hard as I can. Twice. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the recession is over but $700 is a lot of money. I would think about getting kicked in the nuts for that amount. Can we do $500 for one time and I own the video rights?

Jetsfan80 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Cost aside, it would be WAY better to go to Indy than the Super Bowl. There's nothing like going into another team's house and having people look at you like you have a giant lump on your forehead, and you can say you were there when the Jets won the game that sent them to the Super Bowl. The best part about any Super Bowl is being able to throw/go to a party, and this would get amped up to the extreme if the Jets get there. I imagine going to the Super Bowl, while a thrill, would not be as fun an experience. You're sitting around a lot of people with varying amounts of interest in the game, whereas you're guarenteed to be dealing with rabid fans in a road conference championship game. Much more fun.

The Super Bowl atmosphere (during the game) when you are with people that don't much care about football to an extent is probably pretty lame. I would be in a section with Who fans. I know it.

JoeC36 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 i one day want to go to a Super Bowl. But i hardly doubt it will be when the jets are in it. Its all for corporate america.

PatriotReign37 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Part of me wants to do this, part of me wants to save for Miami. Do both. Winning the AFC Championship is special and they have Lamar Hunt trophy ceremony post game. Then, youll have almost 2 weeks to raise cash for Miami.

4HCrew Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Not for nothing but if the Jets go to the Super Bowl the ticket prices would be out of control..you are looking at least 2500 for upper level seats...that is plain crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De-Jet-Erate/Duane Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I am going to see what the prices for the bus trips are...how much are flights from NJ? Anyone look?

gg Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I would be in a section with Who fans. I know it. i would loveeeeeeeeeee that! dont make me bump that thread. serious question.. is there some kind of lottery for season tix fans? i thought there was.. still might be financially out of range... i do think it sucks that the superbowl is for non fans. each team should at least have 1/4 of the stadium.. and if they dont sell the tickets (ha!) they go to the general public. there are some bad things that i would do for a ticket..lol.. too bad no one would give me that offer.

Towards the last few days leading up to game prices dropped like lead. If NO goes, I'd imagine prices will go out the roof and stay there because travel would be easy and Saints fans will flock there like geese. Beware of fake tickets. They were floating around the last 2 times I went. IIRC, the SuperBowl website had pics of a real ticket and a list safety features that distinguish it from a fake.

You ever think Kaeding missed those not because of bad luck but because he was scared of the pressure the JETS ST was applying? Also while the bounce was "lucky" as you call it... just about every tipped pass has to have a "lucky" bounce... getting it the way Revis did just shows how good he is.

The difference is, the Jets took advantage of their lucky bounces, enough so to have more points than the Chargers when time ran out. It's incredibly similar to the Pats 'luck' not that long ago.

You don't luck your way into the AFC Championship, but you do need some luck along the way. I'm just glad to see the Jets finally taking advantage of opportunities. Has that ever happened?

SouthernJet Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I would go, but to be honest, I have been watching Jet games with my sons , GreenBeans etc for 20ish years here in Raleigh at Fan Club. Had season tix at Shea in old days. We are having such a blast now at bar, I am gonna stay here and watch. I am going to organize my 2 sons to make a Jet game next year at new stadium..we will coordinate when lots of JN posters are there an dhave a greta tailgate..
