"Rex2011" was the password for yesterday's season ticket holder pre-sale. I took a look and found the process a little confusing, and the selection underwhelming, but I didn't spend very much time with it. Be sure not to wind up in the secondary market listings. Look for an area to enter a code somewhere in the upper right corner.
I'm only seeing row 23 and 24 as well. Is this the only code given out to season ticket holders or were there others depending on where you sat? Seems last year there was a lot better selection of tickets.
You two guys haven't been around so you're probably unaware of the Jets Ticket Office scam. That's right, the continuing, ongoing scam. Season Ticketholders were sent an "exclusive" code (REX2011) because we're so fucking special. And we're valued so much by management that we, and we alone, were given special permission to be the very first to buy extra tickets. The exclusivety was such that we were all given intricate, uncompromisable passwords so that we and we alone could get in on this very, very special closed sale available only to us, the special fucking fans. The only trouble is, theso-called "code" was as obvious as hell and easy to remember (REX2011), and we were all given the same "code." What a coincidence! Here's the real stroy: the Jets Ticket Office is using this as just another one of their scams and a way of dumping the very worst seats in the house. This is nothing new; they used this scam technique from the git-go on all their Season Ticketholders with seniority. Call you up and tell you Row 18 is the best seats available when they had plenty of lower row Upper Deck seats to sell. They did it, obviously, to move the lousier seats while still holding back on the better seats they knew they could unload easier. How does that ad go on TV... the one that advertises a bank? "Even a 6-year old knows you don't treat a new customer better than an old one." My best advice on this scam is to stay TF away from it. The only seats you're going to be able to buy are ones that even the seagulls wouldn't sit in. You're better off on StubHub. At least you can see the selection and know you're not getting fucked. Now you know why you're only seeing Rows 23 & 24. Yes, that's right. The very team you root for is out fucking its loyal fan base again.
Might I suggest using Fansnap? It's a site that combines all of the more popular ticket selling sites and lets you hover over the seating location, zoom in to see how many rows are in a section (not number of seats per row though), sort by quantity, and also you can pick the drop down to make it set by price + fees (low to high or vice versa). This works well for me as I like to see if row 24 is out of 48 rows or 24 rows, etc. and I can enter a specific price and see what, if anything, is available.
If I can interrupt conspiracy rant number 10543 from Uncle Angry... the reason there were better seats for individual sale last year has ZERO to do with the Jets ticket office holding back better seats or giving out passwords that could be used by anybody (like Dhettrick55) It has to ONLY with the installation of "temporary" seats in rows 5,6 and 7 in sections that had previously been left empty for "handicapped seating areas". In 2010 it was too late to sell those seats as season tickets so they were sold on an individual basis through ticketmaster This offseason those same seats were sold on a season ticket basis since February and were also a large part of the relocation process for STH who got a chance to move down from the highest rows in the worst locations to better seats. So now, all that is left to sell on an individual basis through ticketmaster are the uppermost rows of the upper deck and when those are gone fairly shortly, the UD will be sold out again as it was last year along with all PSL seats non-club seats leaving a smaller amount of luxury club seats still available for upgrades
I did notice that. I sat in those seats for a game last year where they basically installed metal bleachers and bolted down normal seats---those definitely weren't there when I saw Bon Jovi there last May.
to Clarify some more every single human that I know that once owned seaon tickets in the upper bowl ( the # of humans is many ) NO LONGER HAS THOSE SEATS---not that they upgraded and moved down or NOT that they bought a PSL but the flat out GAVE UP THOSE SEATS and no longer go to games. So maybe the Jets will sell out, maybe they won't but the bottom line is that their were OCEANS of empty seats upstairs , in the Mezz and don't begin to talk about lower bowl as there were rows of empty seats and sections lucky to be half full. PS The JETS ABSOLUTELY HELD BACK BETTER SEATS !! THEYdid it the last year in the old place and they did it the first year of the new place and sadly are still probably doing it .
sg3 i am sorry but you are delusional. they did hold seats, there have been 10 different stories about how someone got better seats and not the handicap seats either. keep your rose colored glasses on and enjoy the roto rooting that woody and the nfl owners group is giving you. i am sure you enjoy it greatly. the sheer amount of the other teams fans in the place is amazing, and the jets have been to the afc championship game 2 years in a row, things could not be any rosier than they are right now. BUT STILL there are thousands of opposing teams fans and tickets still to be sold. i dont want to see it but as 227 said wait until its 20 degrees out and they are playing seattle with a record of 4 - 8.... its going to be a horror show.
But you promised! What happened to leaving for good? "I'm outta here. You won't be seeing me anymore. Nice knowin' ya. You'll miss me when I'm gone," etc.
They absolutely held back seats. I found you obnoxious at times, but not stupid. How would you explain getting moved from 301 to 342 row 2 ONLY after telling them I'm done - finished? I couldn't get near those seats in year one because i didn't challenge them. I drank the cool-aid. Went with it, assuming it was all on the up and up. You damn well know all those first 4 rows Uppers were held back. And they're STILL held back, only this time I happen to be fortunate since the Jets finally realize its not smart to let the long time customers leave once their bluff was called. Champ was the only one here who was relocated to low-row upper primes in year one - and he had what, 40 years in? And he's on the ten yard line! I'm sure he expected the 30, at minimum. I had 31 in and wasn't offered anything near those low row primes. Ended up in the EZ. I'd call you an a-hole, but it's meaningless since everyone already knows it. Take your fanvision and shove it up your ass. Respectfully, of course.
hey dipshit then how did my friend who is a brand new season ticket holder score upper deck prime row 2 2 seats no preseason and free parking for the year? on thursday
the answer is the same, actually for both your query and the prior query. A number of "fans" who had sat on the 50 yard line in the lower level or mezzanine of the old dump with big blue GIANTS signs on the outside for around 80 bucks per game for around 30 years (some of whom sold off a few seats a year at market values nearly triplle that value and, in effect WENT FREE) found out that the new stadium, being priced at actual real market value would no longer allow them this luxury. They refused to pay even the tiniest PSL (2500 bucks divided over 15 years) for decent seats and chose to accept seats in the upper level We all agree that the upper level was a disappointment for these former 50 yardliners so a few tthousand of these "fans" went the one and done route leaving the UD seats they had occupied (in prime or lower rows (because of their long seniority)available for other fans who had been stuck in high rows in the endzone to relocate into for this season There was, in addition, another important factor (maybe more important than the couple of thousand one and done factor) We all know that the stadium corporation was able to convert some of the areas where rows 5-7 had been originally designed for "handicapped area platforms for wheelchiars" into what was called temporary seating in 2010. Because it wasn't done until August of 2010, those lower row seats in sideline areas were NOT sold on a season basis for that season but were sold out as individual game tickets using ticketmaster. In 2011, those same seats in those lower rows became available to season ticket holders and a reasonably large number of UD ticketholders who had been in the upper reaches were able to relocate to these better seats. Even a smaller number of new subscribers were able to get in on these better seats. It was decided that ticketmaster would be utiliized to try and refill most of the not so hot upper row tickets that had been vacated through these two relocation sitiuations on a season ticket basis and over the last 3-4 months most of the upper deck was refilled. Which is why when individual seating through TM was opened to STH on a presale basis about a week ago, only the highest rows were still available to be purchased I'm very happy that a number of the real fans here at ganggreen were able to relocate down to the nicer seats they deserved in the first place and now have in 2011
