As a season ticket holder since the days of Shea Stadium I would like to thank the jets for the PSL’s. They made me realize after I was told my 4 tickets would cost $80,000 that driving to New Jersey just isn’t worth it anymore. The Stadium and the Jets should be in Queens and Woody you made your team corporate congratulations. I would like to ask you what you think a team that hasn’t won since 1969 should charge fans for the rights to buy tickets to a 500 team at best. If you say $20,000 per ticket I would advise everyone on earth to pull their money out of Johnson and Johnson.

YOU FANS SHOULD PROTEST IT!!!

DON”T JUST SIT BY! THIS is highway robbery and a terrible way to reward years and years of fan loyalty.

Why not write letters, picket, do something??????

You can yell at your flat screen until you’re blue in the face but it’s not going to help your defense one bit…

The JETS only have 10,500 on their wait list. The Giants 133,000. I think the JETS would be committing suicide by charging PSLs for all seats. They will be playing games to a half empty stadium. What I think they should do, is not charge PSLs for any seats. However, they will probably charge a PSL for seats between the 30 yard lines in the lower deck. Not ideal, but understandable.

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.

The majority of current Jets fans will be priced out. The only way this is feasible is if corporate entities fill their shoes. Corporate entities don’t go to football games in November when the Jets are 3-7. Thus, when the Jets are competitive, tickets will not be available. When the Jets are out of it, tickets will be available for a song.

Looks like I will be chanting… J E T S – Jets – Jets – Jets from my home with NEW 60″ HD TV that I will buy.

NO WAY am I paying $5,000 for a seat licensing fee and then $1,650+ per year per seat and god knows how much for parking, gas and a beer! Family financial priorities must come first!

How will the actual owners of these seats pay this per seat fee? Many seats are split among friends under one name. If you’re in this sharing situation don’t pay a fee unless your name becomes the official owner with the Jets for that seat.

I have been a season ticket holder in section 121 (5 seat group) since 1978.

TOO BAD the Jets will lose all the all their Loud Hard Core Fans at the games. Maybe our homes could be wired for sound during games and pumped into the stadium via internet. Without us that stadium will be dead quite!

I am going to miss being at the games it was a magical experience at times and I will remember all the great moments. Also, all the “here we go again moments”.

Two seasons remain for me and maybe they could bring home a Superbowl for their long-time fans before the Corporations get our seats.

Go Jets in 2008 and 2009!

The JETS are shooting themselves in the foot if they institute PSLs. Most of their fans are young and will be unwilling to fork out the outrageous sums they will want per seat. I am older and see this as a lousy investment. So I will pass on PSLs and watch the JETS on my new Samsung in the comfort of my own home. And if they play lousy, i can turn the game off and think about all the money I will be saving.

We still have the 2008 and 2009 seasons to let Woody know from the stands that PSLs “SUCK.”

It’s about two pages long, and as you read it, the only question is whether you want sand in your Vaseline?
