I got a postcard a week ago that says the same thing. There is no way these seats are available without a PSL.
Amazing. They're using these unusually lower temperatures right now to remind people (more like scare you) into buying a seat "with unlimited access to a lounge." They want you to imagine what it's going to be like a year from now IF the temperatures are this unusually frigid. Like if the temps are this cold, you're really going to be able to get into the fucking thing and see anything anyway. The seats are still outside, they're just offering you "access" to the lounge, which probably has a fire code rating of a maximum allowable of 112 people or something like that. Might as well go back outside and sit in your car. Ridiculous idea, because a thousand people from sections around will storming the doors even before the national anthem to get little Jason in from the cold and get him a $7.00 container of crappy hot chocolate. Forget about standing by the window, you'll be lucky to even get near the doorway to get into the freaking thing. And little Jason has to stand there sniffing the farts of drunken adults who are standing shoulder to shoulder with their asses in his face because they're such whimps that they can't take a little cold weather and too drunk to realize the alcohol isn't helping. No thank you. Another desperate ploy to push more PSLs. Mercenary ShamWow-SlapChop salesmen on 100% commission with access to everybody's email address. I mean, come on.
Good decision. You're already in the best seats in the house as far as value goes.... reasonable ticket price, nobody in front of you and no PSL.
Yep on all scores, We just felt that there was something in the background that will come out to the forefront & we did not wish to deal with it when it hit us between the eyes
I asked my rep about this, about adding two extra indoor seats PSL free. He said there is no way that is happening and the rumors here and on JI are false- That come in from the cold thing was misleading.
Actually, they never said the seats were indoors... just that you'd have "unlimited access" to an indoor lounge. Of course, they never mention that these seats that are supposedly close by (and they are) are one level down, and all of the Mezz is a PSL. They're close by alright, it's just that they're 40 feet below the current seats in the Upper Deck. Just as I suspected... clever wording and a new lipstick color on the same old pig. What part of "no thank you" do Woody's henchmen not get?
My sales agent just told me that the PSL still applies. Its come in out of the cold for cheaper face ticket prices, but the same psl as before.
Believe me, the "cheaper face ticket prices" will quickly revert to what they originally intended to charge once the economy turns around. Think of the "cheaper face ticket prices" as an introductory offer that is "subject to change" after they decide to stick it up your behind.
the problem is that they will dupe a number of people into it before they even begin to question the situation. thank god for this thread to be able to get information out to people. real information not bs and marketing from scumbag car salesmen.
Took a call from my Internal PSL Rep yesterday, mostly for shits and giggles. Truth be told, after 25 years, I'm having a hard time imagining Sundays without Jets tickets. I found the reps approach interesting. It was very much based on a caste system. He assured me we could find better prices in the lower level than what I was previously offered. With that, of course, I would have my premium seat and access to the club levels. He kept telling me about the New Meadowlands Stadium "experience" of which the game was merely a part. That I would have the opportunity to tailgate and enjoy the 50 yard line experience away from all the drunks in the parking lot. I didn't bother to tell him that for the past 25 years, I've been part of the group drinking it up in the parking lot. But the approach was to encourage me to use these for clients (I own a small business and bill the tickets through the company, hence the reason behind his sales approach) and treat them to a world of entertainment of which the game was secondary to the experience. But the more he went on about the comfy seats, the food, the large size TVs, I kept thinking "I have that and more at home. What I don't have is the game in front of me and you're not even selling that."
Yes, interesting, isn't it? When you think about it, they HAVE TO to sell more than just the game for the kind of money they're charging. No one in their right mind will pay (in my case) $30,000 (4 PSLs) plus $1600 per game (4 X $400) just to watch a live football game. So they sell the "experience." The trouble with the experience is, I'm not sure it's any more fun than the free tailgating out in the lot. More upscale, yes, but is it more fun? I love to see the little kids throwing footballs around while Dad and Uncle Charlie bullshit about this and that and cook up the hamburgers. That kind of fun and "experience" that the kid remembers is going to be damned hard to duplicate inside... the freedom to be yourself and let it hang out in the parking lot. Part of that "experience" is just that, that you know you're hanging out in a freaking parking lot... something you'd never imagine could be fun anywyere else or for any other purpose, but here you are with thousands of other Jets fans having free fun. I too had a business for many years... a small company with about 22-25 employees, and I used the tickets as a tax writeoff by mailing in a company check, so I know exactly what you are saying. I sold my business but still own an LLC and can continue to do the same, but this latest kick in the teeth by Woody Johnson was the last straw for me. I went into the Upper Deck, partially out of protest, partially out of the fact that when I used to give the tickets away to employees they never really appreciated it that much anyway, and partially because I refuse to let Woody Johnson stick it up my keyster that bad. $30,000 up front and $1600 per game? I don't freaking think so.
You want "a game day experience " ? I invite Woody and Butlle and all the reps to come over to 1 B in the lot and we will show you what a REAL " GAME DAY EXPERIENCE " is!!!! also we won't charge them a PSL , and much like Braylon Edwards I can guarantee that they will have a blast and a story to tell years from now!!!! See you all at the game!!
Boy they are hurting, still have not sold out the non-psl upper deck as of 12-31-09. They are fucked, going to be very interesting to see what happens
I don't see how that's incredible. People who are willing to spend $95+ per game for every game and throw away two pee-wee games at full price are generally not the kind that like sitting in the Upper Deck
