That $800 doesn’t include preseason games; parking; travel and any other add-ons you can think of.

I just paid face value $100 per ticket for the upcoming Bristol Nascar race in August. I can’t imagine paying $800 for a season of NFL home games. I’ll just pay effing directv $270 to watch at home. One advantage of the Nascar race price is that you can take 1 cooler per person full of beer into the race. Imagine the NFL doing that!!!!

Looking at the chart there is no seat less than $95.

There is also one section that is alcohol-free (not free alcohol; alcohol not allowed). What is the purpose of making one section alcohol-free? It is completely surrounded by alcohol permissible sections. So 100 stoned sober fans can be surrounded by inebriated slobs. Great idea. That one is a winner! It’s not like the fans in the alcohol-free section are going to skip the tailgate anyway.

I am a fan who gave up tickets after 44 years. I am happy they are struggling to sell them. And as for “face value,” we had a hard time getting face value back when we had to sell tickets because they have become so overpriced.

So Donald Trump can sip martinis in his luxury box and look out over empty seats. Go you know where, Woody.

Here is the link to the virtual seating plan of the new stadium

http://www.seats3d.com/nfl/new_york_jets/

Pick a seat in the upper deck of the end zone and scan over to the upper deck sideline seats and look how far away from the field you will be. There will be a lot of complaints when this new stadium opens.

I had seats in the upper level on the 40 yard line. In the new stadium I was offered seats in the end zone because of seniority seating. If you go onto the virtual seating web site of the new stadium, you will see that the upper deck is farther away from the field. and higher up. There is no over hang it’s a big bowl. So to pay all that money to sit farther away from the field and have no roof or cover, you can have it. I will be very happy to watch on my big screen TV.

why are waitlisters getting better seats than more senior ticket holders? why is a new guy getting in the 100 section and i’m stuck in the bleeders?

One last thought before I go to bed…I think it is ironic how closely linked these two adjacent stories are: The lack of line depth, and the lack of season ticket sales.

Despite all the obvious reasons for the shortage of season ticket sales are, now add another one…the odds of the JETS O-Line making it thru the season unscathed with a rookie QB could be a repeat of 2007 all over again. Now, how much do you wanna pay ?!

NYDREAMER – don’t worry about taking your son to his first game. Something tells me that tickets will be available on a game by game basis as people who did buy PSLs and can’t make it to the game will be desparate to recoup any of their money back, since they will be competing against all the other empty seats being pushed by the JETS and other ticket distributors.

mole – it is obvious that Woody doesn’t want “the average fan” in the stadium…he wants the ones with champagne wishes and caviar dreams!

I think he sees this franchise as being like the Yankees and Knicks, except that he forgot that there is another team in the same damn building!
