Easy solution- Take naked pictures of your mother and sell them on Ebay until you recoup the full amount you are out of pocket. Problem solved.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think they are not saying to have to pay for the season tickets again, just the physical tickets themselves, i.e.: $5 per ticket per game. Please tell me that's right.
Tell your mom to pay for the tickets. It's her fault they're gone so you shouldn't have to get hit with this.
Shit man... i feel terrible for you. You shoulda gave your mother heads up about the tickets. You know how moms are about cleaning! If I am not mistaken... and I COULD be wrong... but cant you place insurance on season tickets? If I had em I def would!
I find it absolutly astonishing that they want you to pay the full price of the tickets PLUS 5 dollars extra per ticket... unreal. If it was 5 for each that would be cool.
I don't know if this is a new policy or not, but I had something similar happen 4 or 5 years ago where I lost my tickets and they replaced them free of charge. Although they did send someone to the seats every game for the rest of the season to make sure people with the "new" tickets were sitting there.
I don't think you have to pay for the tickets all over again, if you read that policy it says nothing about paying the full $1404 or whatever you paid for them again, just $5 per ticket... should come out to $90 total for the full replacement, assuming you get Friday's tickets replaced too.
Sorry for your loss. A season ticketholder I can relate..had i set of game tix stolen and they replaced em with minor charge...this was 5 years ago. I think that their wanting full ticket price is because they have been scammed by people who gave their tix to someone else, reported it, got replacements and their buddies went in on the lost tix and just hunted up empty seats. I'd guess very few people have done this but BoxOffice is a coldhearted bitch these days. Good luck!
Just contact the Jets ticket office with your account number, and they should replace them nearly free of charge. The tickets you lost, will then be void, so nobody else can use them. It happens, and I know people who have been through the same thing. Just make sure you have all of you season ticket information, and they should replace them without any problems....
Contact the office and please lets us know what happens. All tickets use a bar code they can void the bar code on your all old tickets and issue news ones. This basicly means it cost them $5 or less to issue tickets. There is no good reason for them to charge full price.
I wish the worst day of my life was simply losing my tickets to the Jets which can be replaced for under $100...
It may not be the worst day in someones life but thats a definelty one of those times where your stomach just drops and my mom would proably hate me for awhile, since I would've snapped on her.
Now that would be the best day of my life to see season tixs in the trash but I guess that would be soon over after you try to go to the game and they tell you the tix are void and that you have to follow them to security.
You have to put things in perspective. Things that can be fixed with less than $100 dollars should not even be close... My stomach would not even drop... I'd just try to remedy the situation. Try having a child pass away.. that may qualify.
It does suck, but you can understand how easy it would be for anyone to say this and get duplicate tixx, thus allowing 4 people into the game for the price of two
I can confirm that that does indeed suck, even as early as 3 weeks into a pregnancy. But if I had Jets tickets, no way I let them get thrown out, you must be kidding, losing them would enrage me! I suppose it all depends on what makes something "worst" - sadness, anger, the combination? Probably too big a conversation for a football messageboard.
Anytime is awful. Ours was 6 months after she was born! Would i be upset about the tickets? Sure. Would it be even close to the "worst day of my life?" No. It does no good to be mad.. you need to FIX the situation, and that just means calling the Jets and paying the small fee to get new tickets issued.
I guess though that when you're 16 and unaffected by the real world to any great extent that something like that could seem horrific. I'm sure I wasted more angst than was necessary many times in my teenage years!
