Psl Free Seats

I think the whole plan has changed. It seems like they stopped calling people about 2010 when they realized 2009 wasn't sold out yet. Nothing like putting the cart before the horse.

 

We have not been called back about our seats, with 1991 seniority. We had alerted them to the fact we would not be interested in PSL seats in March, but would be in upper deck non-psl's and were told we would be called at end of may, june, july, and august, and we still have not received the call. Think this year's probs have made them reassess their strategy as well...

 

It has to be. I'm sure they don't have sales reps for 2010 and another group for 2009. They took 2009 for granted and had to shift gears when it didn't sell out, then came out with the partial plans, etc. Once that is done they will probably resume working on 2010. If they're smart (not banking on it) they will come back to us with adjusted prices or more non PSL seats, or they can just have an empty stadium.

 

they started the calls again today

 

I'd like to see what PSLs have sold and what remains. And for how much. Are the prices still the same? I probably could find it if I tried. Screw Woody Johnson. I'd love it if the Jets have to wind up dumping prime seats for a song.

 

As they say, if they told you that then they would have to kill you.

 

THey have begun to call people with seniority through 1990. People after 1990 will get a call in early fall.

 

Just now I got an e-mail pitching 2009 tickets with a button to click on whatever game you want and buy it from Ticketmaster or the Jets box office.

 

I would really like to see a couple of blacked out games..I really would. I would probably drive to where ever i needed to so that I could see them but it would be worth it just to see the smugness wiped off the faces of Johnson, Goodell and everybody else associated with the NFL.

 

I'm sure. Jets fans got rolled. I've probably said it a million times, but I was perfectly willing to do some inventive financing to sit comparably to where I am now. However, $14K a year for tickets after the fact - every year - I just couldn't do it; so why should I pay out of the nose for a PSL "I can afford" in a section where I have NO INTEREST in sitting?

In the end I told 'Nick' to bite me and I'll sit for free for my trouble, thanks. It makes me want to punch Woody Johnson in the face that this is how lifers got treated when the Giants, who won a SB in 2008, are charging LESS for the same sections. And they get to retain transfer rights in Siberia - which is where I elected to sit after suffering with this team since time immemorial. Whatever. I'm only gonna make my own blood boil. I hope that blockhead gets hit by space junk. Hopefully frozen urine from an airplane toilet.

 

This greedy bunch of filthy rats we refer collectively to as the front office offered seats (had seats since 1984) in the corner of the endzone upper deck, which are worse than current seats (40 yard line) and would not guarantee that prices will not rise. So worse seats, more money. They threw in a deal sweetener of demanding a $500 down payment on next years seats.

Maybe I forgot, has this team done anything,except for the slimmest of exceptions, but fail miserably for 40 years? GFY jets i hope they choke on the red ink of marketing a billiondollar overpriced stadium in a near depression

 

I don't know about you other season ticket holders, but it kind of ticks me off that I paid full price plus was forced to buy 2 preseason games and now they're selling them 20% off. I feel like we should get some kind of credit towards next season. That is screwing over your loyal fans IMO.

 

I agree. It'll probbly never happen but it sure would be interesting.

 

One of the reasons why I opted to not go with the PSLs was just a feeling that I had that I couldn't trust the FO. Seriously, I started having the feeling (even at the very beginning) that this whole PSL thing was such a violation of my loyalty and I said to myself, "If they can screw me this way so early on, what is going to happen when they've got my PSL? How high are my ticket prices going to go then, for example?"

And I started to get the early-on feeling that I literally could not trust Woody Johnson. And I felt silly, at times, feeling that way, because surely he's an honorable businessman who is not foolish or arrogant enough to take a crap where he eats and not respect the tons of loyalty and support his long-time season ticketholders have given the team.

Well, I'm glad I trusted those early instincts and declined on the PSLs, because never in my wildest imagination did I envision the massive, brutal fucking this team owner has brought on his most loyal of fanbase.

Stick the rest of the PSLs up your buttocks, Woody.

 

Right, and that's what so many other season ticket holders have done as well. Which is why there are so many open seats for this year as well as 2010. So many season ticket holders just dumped their tickets this year because they felt so slighted by the team. I happen to be one of them.

They way I look at it, I was paying a premium to have pretty good seats, pick any game I wanted to go to, etc. -- now I just have to buy them off of ebay wherein I'll probably end up paying half as much, and save myself a ton of money.

If there are free seats this year, then next year with PSLs in play there will probably be even more available seats, so the people that pay the PSLs and buy season tickets will simply be subsidizing my cheaper game experience. Too bad for them.

 

The people who bought and prepaid 2009, as I did, can't worry about it. We did what we always did, that's the way it goes, perceived market value at the time. I'd suggest everyone hold their cards regarding 2010 because I don't think they're going to get nearly what they're asking. They're still trying to sell out this year--better seats at the old prices.
