    Prices are dropping by the hour on stubhub. Was 350 for end zone. now 325 puts you on the 30 yd line about 10 rows up. by the morning, 250 for decent uppers and 400 for lowers? i think face on the lowers is 300, maybe a little less for season ticket holders (Tm shows it as $340). very few tix are available for electronic download so they have to be fed ex'd. i see a selling panic tomorrow!!! booked the train from newark to pitt on saturday at 11, arrive at 8, returning on victory morning at 720 am arriving at 430pm. long ride, but only 132 r/t and plenty of time to start the plans for dallas!

    I'll be there!!

    Living in Pitt for the past six months and only for the next six. Never thought I'd be going to an AFC championship game in Pittsburgh against the Jets! I'll be around with my wife tailgating and enjoying the experience. Can't wait for another road win!

    Head to Finnegan's Wake.

    Tickets are dropping in price. Can get decent seats in the 500s for ~$250. The market is converging to a true price.

    definately, although I am still hoping that tomorrow morning will bring seats down to around $225. It would be fantastic.

    great prices i got ripped off maybe paid 550 for second row from field corner endzone sounds too high? Visitors corner seemed like a good deal at the time.

    if the pitts fans are so great how come many want to sell seats? They are fakes we will kill them in the game and on to superbowl already have tickets waiting just in case. Is Finnigahns Wake the jets place this weekend?

    Either Finnegan's Wake or Mullen's - they're closer to PNC Park. I'm not going anywhere near Jerome Bettis Grill.

    There are a couple of hotels right near the stadiums, but they are expensive - I think the Jets stayed at the Sheridan last time. You're better off finding a place in Oakland or in Ross Township and getting a cab or taking the bus. The hotel will be 1/2 or 1/3 the price.

    A little surprised prices are holding steady as of this morning. But it's just a matter of time. Over 3500 tix are still available for the game on stubhub and it started out around 3900 on Sunday night/Monday morning. For the Pats game, there were about 3500 tix on stubhub 10 days before the game, and then after the Jets won, it quickly dropped to 1500. Prices climbed of course, but then dropped off dramatically the Friday before the game. Tomorrow will be the last day to Fed Ex tix, so tonight should be the start of the fire sale. But I guess some sellers will risk it to the last minute . . . good luck everyone.

    Re jetsking . . . There is a new all-suites hotel, Cambria Suites, near the hockey arena, apparently 2 miles from Heinz. Rates were around $225 when I booked. Would be a good fit for 3. . .

    I'll be at the game, trying to take a charter bus from Penn Station to Heinz field. We have about 10 of the 20 needed, if not I'll have to drive >.<

    Hi Tim,

    I'm Koz.

    I'm a Jets fan looking to give you a play by play of the entire trip. What do I ask for in return? Not much, especially for a fine newspaper such as yours. Midfield tickets, transportation and modest accomodations, with a reasonable per diem for meals/gas/tolls etc.

    I get that, you get your story :)

    Ha! Well, since it's such a small request, I'm sure my editors will spring for it!
