Dear Woody, I said it when you first told me about a new stadium and asked for the opinion of the season ticket holder. I need a comfy seat. A place to pee. A place to buy a drink and a snack. And covered seating. Not necessarily a roof, but cover the fans. All these things encourage fans in seats being the 12th man. Helping the product. THAT as described above is a Rex Ryan stadium. The British dude is what they built. Thanks for many great years of watching live JETS games. I look forward to a big HDTV and a new chair to watch it in. I hope Wood enjoys all those people sitting in his bars not watching the game.
Can't post a pic because of post count, but there's a pic floating around of two extra seats that were tacked onto end of each lower level corner row. This completely screws over the people that chose aisle seats in the 5k corners closest to the 10k section. section131.net/images/DSC_1480.JPG
They did have a few open practices this past offseason at Florham Park. No charge but no seats either. The team ended the practice and signed autographs for about 15 minutes.
Man that just looks terrible. Try sitting on the "new aisle seat" and having a fatass try and squeeze by that aisle on the right. Pay a PSL, get a fatass in your face. Should be a new slogan Woody.
been getting hounded by some hack the last few days from their ticket offices.... very tempting after the performance this year. jil
New sales strategy. Extend the aisle seats and bring in fresh money. It doesn't matter that you already sold PSLs in what the buyer thought was an aisle seat. He gets there in August and goes, "WTF is this?" Now he can just climb over people like everybody else. Way to go man... Fuck You, Woody Johnson.
Well, from what I understand, if you bought an aisle you will be given the option of sliding over in order to maintain your aisle seating. The problem is that those seats have a different orientation towards the field than the rest of the corner so not only are you segregated, the aisle itself is smaller so there will be more of a bottleneck and more people taking longer to walk in front of you the entire game.
Woody Johnson after looking at the above photo: "Wait a minute fellas! I have an idea! Notice that there's still some room on the left? After we sell those two "aisle seats," we just move the railing over and add ANOTHER new set of "aisle seats."
Think long and hard on that one, Jil. The PSLs that remain are the least desirable seats (compared to the ones already sold) and at the same price as the "better" seats. And don't forget that only 13 months remain until the PSLs can be resold. The market will be flooded with them, IMO, for a variety of reasons. Also, if the Jets (God Forbid) don't make the playoffs next year (Joe and Evan are already saturating the airwaves with "Playoff Home Field Advantage" comments and predictions of 12-4, etc... in other words, expectations are through the roof), the let down will be horrific and will only add to the selling a year from now. If you really have to have a PSL or two, waiting is not to your disadvantage, whereas buying right now cements your position in a less desirable PSL location, from which you will not necessarily extricate yourself from very easily in the near future.
Hey most fans got nothing for having season tickets this year except two calls from Rex and a little football. Look at mr. 227!! 4x seats at $115 each is $4,600 in 2010. He got no play-off games or superbowl games. He could have skipped preseason, savings of $920 Bought 3 "military" $15 ticket games for $180, savings of $1,200 Then bought remaining five games at face with Plum code for $2,300 Mr. 227 spent $4,600 for something he could have got for $2,480. Why did mr. 227 do this, well he wanted his potential superbowl and play-off rights and not to lose his senority so he got sideline UD seats for 2010. Mr. 227 paid $2,120 extra for this right. What is Jets stink again and there is no chance for play-offs and tickets are going for under face for an extended period of time. Well mr. 227 does not have a PSL he will lose if he does not buy tickets. Mr. 227 will just buy games he wants on stubhub half price and mrs. 227 can sit in the warm club while mr. 227 laughs that he ain't the sucker who paid $7,500 a seat for the right to buy tickets at face value of $245 so he can sell them to mr. 227 for $200 a pair. If the jets go through another kotitie erea only people in UD between the goals lines first 20 rows will be sticky. The rest won't hang out in 105 corner row 26 corner seats paying $105 for too long when lower EZ is $90 bucks on stubhub.
The training camp situation isn't Woody's fault. He built a new training facility in Florham Park for the team which I thought was a good idea since we traveled from Long Island otherwise. The training camp up in Bumble, NY was Rex Ryan's idea last year to get the team away from everyone to build chemistry. There are a number of teams who do this. The Giants practice up in Albany, NY. While it sucks that they practice in Bumble, NY it did work this year. There wa team chemistry and the only negative person on the team was Kerry Rhodes.
Couldn't agree with you more. In fact, change 227 to 215 and you would've described my exact situation. I originally bought Mezz PSLs in 221 back in June. Luckily, changed my mind and went Uppers to 341 in August and got my deposit back.
he-he... Mr. 227 has had his tickets since 1985 and believe me, Mr. 227 knows what it's like to have bad seasons back-to-back. Thank God the check Mr. 227 writes out in May is a tax deductable "T&E Expense," because Mr. 227 would have blown his Mezzanine-lovin' head off many times while trying to unload tickets he couldn't use for far less than face. This is why Mr. 227 has been railing on and on about the virtues of being very careful with the purchase of these cockamamie PSLs. It's been bad enough having season tix all these years without having Mr. Johnson lock Mr. 227's nuts up in a bear trap from which there is no extraction and from which Mr. Johnson can inflict immense financial and emotional pain on Mr. 227.
This is so and I don't find much fault with this post. But what I do find irritating is that Woody Johnson oversaw the construction plans for the practice facility and surely okayed the finished product, which did not include (And still doesn't, from what I know) a comfortable viewing area should the Jets ever be back here again from Jerkwater, NY to do some practicing. It's like, the fans are always at the bottom of Woody Johnson's thought process and considerations.. always. There is not a single thing this fucking owner has ever done that first considered the fan or ticketholder. so it's not surprising this owner has no bleachers on the grounds, much less provisions even for a concession stand, shaded area and public restrooms to accomodate the fans who might want to bring their family there, God Forbid. The man is a social misfit. He is not a people person at all. Far from it, he seems to go our of his way to shit on his fanbase and ticketholders at every opportunity. Fuck You, Woody Johnson.
