agree with you. but the scandalous scenario of the nyjets providing ticket agencies with unsold seats in the psl zone is messed up. many have given up prime seats and moved to the upper decks. woody cant and wont sell the lower level psl seat so the agencies get them and sell them. seems like a kick in the balls to the longtime loyal season ticket holder who cant or wont afford the psl fee. my brother in law has advised me he knows hes getting bumped higher if not out of the stadium. its over for us as season ticket holders.
I agree with whomever said there were few $400+/seat tickets, and also agree with those who said those won't sell. I'm still fixated, though, with the fact that the entire sideline mezz consists of $400+/seat ticket prices. Unless I'm missing something. Take a look - http://www.newjetsstadium.com/seating-chart.html The entire sideline mezz costs $400+/seat. Those ain't all selling. And they will be available for way less than $400/seat come 2010. Maybe the first game people will be trying to get that price, but unless scalpers start carrying credit card machines, you'll be able to get those seats for way, way less than face value come game day. And if the Jets have a losing record, especially late in the year when it's cold, those tickets, like all others, will be available for like $20 each in the lot right before kick off. Even people with lots of disposable income don't walk around with $1000 in the wallets. It's simply not logistically possible to sell sets of seats for $1000+ in the lots before the games. Three possibilities: ---scalpers start carrying credit card machines in the lots so they can take cards to pay $1000 for 2 seats ---a giant mugging industry is created in the lots since people show up with $1000 cash to buy those seats from scalpers ---scalpers sell those seats for whatever the market bears in the lots. That can probably be as high as $400/seat (rarely) or, typically, like $20/game if you wait until right before kick off.
Note I think I've read about an iPhone app which allows folks to accept credit cards. Maybe another side effect will be that scalpers become more tech savvy and all carry iPhones so they can try to get $400/ticket for those seats. Or, those seats will sell for about $20/seat right before kickoff. Yeah, one of those...
hehe i can imagine those guys out there taking credit cards. thats pretty funny. now tell me this would YOU give one of those guys your credit card? it will be interesting to see what happens as far as getting tickets to single games. i am interested in what will happen in 2011 when people can sell their psl seats. i wonder what the jets will do now that they only have so many seats they can hold over everyones head as far as waiting lists. will they still charge for being on the waitlist? i am assuming the giants wont even have a waiting list at this point?
Sorry, can't see anyone knowing what the ticket situtation will be for 2010, including the Jets no way. Remember, we are talking about next year.
Inividual tickets For arguments sake, lets say the Jets have 5,000 tickets remaining after going through STH and the waiting list. Those tickets are priced from $400 and up . They put the tickets on sale to the general public for indiviual games. Who is going to pay $400 and up for a ticket? No one. Will there be a market for ticket brokers, no because the tickets are priced to high already and you could get them from the Jets. Will season ticket holders place them on Stubhub? Yes and no. Who is going to sell their game tickets for less then face value after paying $5000-$25,000 for PSL's and how much of a loss will they be willing to accept. . Are non-psl owners going to sell their reasonably prices seats on stub-hub. I would say no, that these people are hard core fans and plan to go to all the games . So where is the discounted market gonna come from. The jets can not sell these tickets for less then face value plus its gonna piss people off who paid $10,000 for the PSl to see the same tickets up for sale each week so no way can they discount the price. I can't see a big secondary market for Jets tickets at reasonable prices because of all these situations. Am I missing something?
what are the choices if no secondary market? do you think the nyjets want say 15,000 empty seats in the new taj mahal. imagine the backlash the media would be all over it. the unsold seats are going to ticket agencies regardless of whether you like it or not bro.and regardless of whether you paid a psl fee or not. do you really think woody really cares what any of us think? look whats happening at yankee stadium with all the empty seats im sure the nyjets are monitoring this. imagine if i buy my lower level seat from a ticket agency for around $250-350 a game my total cost for 8 home games will be far less than anyone who bought a psl and season tickets. its gonna happen watch and see.
Jets PSL Crap In the LOWER LEVEL, with the exception of the Coaches Club ($700.00 per game) and Great Hall Club ($600.00 per game), the PER GAME PRICE for 2010 is between $120.00 and $150.00. If the lower level PSL's do not sell out, the JETS ticket office could easily put SINGLE GAME SEATS (NOT SELL COMPLETE SEASONS) on sale in the range of say $150.00 to $350.00 per game with no big backlash from the Fans. They can just say it is a current market anomoly, and they need to fill seats, until their PSL's sell out. As long as they DO NOT SELL those seats on a PER GAME basis for LESS THAN FACE value, I don't think the fans will have much of a case to pitch a legal bitch. And they could even do like the METS, and sell the PREMIUM GAMES LIKE Pats, Fins, etc for WELL OVER FACE, and the LESSER ONES, Chiefs, Lions, etc AT FACE. It sucks a big one, but unfortunately I'm sure Woody, Tisch and Mara are ready for any legal issues that should arise.
great post this will happen and i think woody will tell the season ticket holders who paid the psl fee. too bad if you dont like it no one is forcing you to stay. its the only way possible to fill these seats. anyone who thinks differently what is your plan to fill those empty seats?
He could become generous & donate them to charity & take the tax write off. IMHO quite doubtful but certainly possible
that wont happen either the nyjets sell single game packages or the ticket agencies get them. its gonna happen watch and see. woody dont care about anyone bro. just because you paid the psl fee doesnt mean you are woodys best friend you only contributed to his get rich fund. my brother in law said he gets bumped out of his seats its over he will buy single game tickets and invest in redoing his basement for game days. i cant blame him. we were there for all the longtime shit football and now are relocated or forced out of the seats he owned for 16 years.its just not right.
Well I am one of the lucky ones who did not have to pay a PSL & came out of it with seats in the same location I had in the old stadium. If I had to go the PSL route I would have opted for out completely & as soon as Woody turns the UD into a PSL area I am goner since I do not believe it is right to pay a fee to watch a FB game beyond the cost of the actual tix. I fully agree that Woody is money sucking worm so U do not have to convince me of that either. Remember, however most of us have been Woodys "customer" for just 9 season with all the seasons we had before that we were Hesses customer. Under my scenario Woody can donate the tix to say United Way & then let UW resell them at whatever price they can get. He is then immune from complaints from the PSL holders because he would claim UW sold them & he could not control what the do. He also receives glowing media reports that is the good guy have donated tix to charity. Shucks I could see the Post headline "GOOD GUY WOODY DONATES 1,200 TIX to CHARITY FOR THIS SUNDAYs GAME". Sounds good huh? Look I know it is way out theory but it is certainly within the realm of possibility
Coors, I don't care if they give them to the ticket agency or the mob All I know is they are going to be expensive and no one is gonna pay $400 for a Jet game so there will be plenty of empty seats and we will be getting hit hard from the media. Look at the Yankees, and they are 10 times more popular then the Jets and they have 7000 empty seats every game. Sounds like you are counting on the secondary market and don't want to talk reality. They are not going to give them away to anyone.
Jets PSL crap My point is that the Lower EZ, and MEZZ EZ seats will not be an issue!!! But the Lower Goal Line-$10,000 PSL, Lower Side LIne-$15,000 PSL, and Lower Prime-$20,000 PSL, with Per game prices $140, $140, and $150, May have a high PSL price that may not sell out, but Woody could sell seats at Face or Above on a game by game TIERED BASIS like the Mets, higher for Prime Games, and Less for Lesser games. The MEZZ Clubs, with PSL's of $5,000, $7,500, $15,000, and $25,000, and Per Game Prices of $400.00 to $500.00 will still sell to people with CA$H On a game by game basis) for the games in September, October and maybe Early November, But Late November, December and January will be a problem to Push for "THE WOOD" on a game by game basis. I personally would pay $200.00 Per game for them, but starting at $400.00 with NO FOOD OR PARKING INCLUDED is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd pay a few hundred bucks per ticket for a playoff game or the Superbowl. But I would definitely not pay $400/ticket for a regular season game, and think it's outrageous to even think about paying that much for a preseason game. That's literally throwing cash out the window. I can't tell you how many preseason tickets I've given away the past 12+ years. I actually usually like to attend the games myself, but it's usually a bunch of us with several extras we usually give to anyone who walks by asking.
400 for a football game is rediculous. 400 for just about anything is rediculous. shit i can remember when superbowl tickets were less than that. its a shame that people will allow these franchises to get away with shit like that. but hey if someone is going to pay it they might as well keep on doing what they do.
http://www.reuters.com/article/sportsNews/idUSTRE50K51A20090121 Tickets to the Super Bowl carry a face value of either $800 or $1,000, with about 1,000 tickets priced at $500 this year in response to the slumping economy. However, prices to popular sporting events are often resold at prices far higher than face value. so basically woody is telling us that he wants to charge 100 dollars less than you could have paid to go to the fucking superbowl? amazing. for a PRESEASON GAME!!!! and retards are out there buying them!!!!
i wonder what the situation is with jets playoff games? this says that panthers fans who dont purchase playoff tickets are fined or lose their psls. appears to be the same in cowboy land. http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum...xchange/7109-psl-owers-losing-their-psls.html also someone said that they could not raise ticket prices by more than 4% for panthers tickets per year. i havent seen anything about either of those issues on the site thus far but figure those are questions some people might want to know the answers to. btw does anyone know how the cowboys are doing in selling their psls?
