Link: Beat Writers Chime in on PSLs
[Season TIcket Shakedown - Daily News]
[PSL Panic - Newsday]
Many thanks to Rich Cimini and Erik Boland, who have picked up the charge on PSLs on their blogs, giving their thoughts on the relevant issues. Cimini goes FJM style (which incidentally claims Mose Schrute as one of it’s writers) on some of the text from the survey, and makes for a compelling read. Meanwhile Boland asked the team for a statement, and got the typical “We are still exploring financing options for the new stadium and have not made a decision regarding PSLs.” Which loosely translates to “we’re doing this, we just aren’t ready to piss everyone off yet.”
Again, if you are frustrated at the team for charging PSLs … now’s the time to take action.

I used the link to write a comment that basically said “no taxation without representation.’ if you want to charge me $ for a PSL you have two choices
1) I do not expet to pay for tickets as long as team plays in this stadium
2) I want stock in the team
If I’m a corporation, and I want premium seats to bring potential clients and customers to… do you really think I’m tripping over myself to go get Jets tickets over Giants tix? I know it’s all about supply and demand, but the product needs to be a winner. I guess that would explain the sudden cannonball into the Free Agent pool this year. Knowing fast-Woody, that’s a one-time thing! He’s just trying to polish the turd enough to grab money from Avg. Joes’ pocket! Sorry Woody, keep your PSLs and your expensive tickets, I’ll toss the ball in the yard with my kids, thank you, and listen to Bob Wischusen on the radio!
This is a copy of what I sent to the Jets. Just thought I would share.
Dear NY Jets:
I have been on the Jets Season ticket list for over 11 years, and I am finally in the position to recieve my season tickets, and now you are considering these PSLs, which will make it unaffordable for hard working people like myself who are the truest of Jet fans. The money numbers listed on your survey are outlandish, and I very much resent this as a true Jet fan. Football wasn’t meant to be a sport for only the wealthy to watch in person. If you are seriously considering doing this, I think you should also consider bringing down the cost considerably. Sincerely, John M. Fitzpatrick, an unhappy fan.
