Mark The Homer Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 A couple years ago I auctioned off a pair of what I thought were great seats in 454 row 15 40 yd line for a pre season game. I got 25 bucks. WOO HOO! My point is, wait until August, you'll find a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 i would not mind paying under 50 bucks for a pair of tickets.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsn24 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 under 50 sounds decent, but more is not worht it. I mean lets be real it means NOTHING and is a free bonus with ur season tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I sell my preseason for $100 for the pair. I have 2 pairs. section 228 Have you sold your Jets tickets yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DButz65 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 under 50 sounds decent, but more is not worht it. I mean lets be real it means NOTHING and is a free bonus with ur season tickets If its game 3 or 4 of the preseason at home then its worth over $100/pair IMO because the starters play 3/4 the game usually, and if you get game 4 at home, they play pretty much the whole game. The 1st and 2nd games we all know, the scrubs play mostly. Thats how i feel about it being a season ticket holder. Also you have to remember the season ticket holders, who are willing to sell you THEIR tickets, have to pay full pop for the preseason, THEY ARE NOT FREE and they are no BONUS, and we dont have a choice, if you dont want preseason games, they will not sell you regular season tickets alone,... i dont think that trying to get at least 1/3 of what we paid is outrageous, a little more for 3rd and 4 games ,still eating money, so YOU can goto a game at our expense. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 but these games don't count... game 4 they dont play the whole game.. they play most of game 3 IMO.. its like spring training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 3rd preseason game is typically the most valuable. 4th game the starters usually play 2 series or at most the first quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yeah, I agree with SkinsandTerps, the third game is best, the 4th game sucks. IIRC, the starters usually play the first quarter. The rest is scrubs. Of course, it's up to Gibbs... This is why the REAL value of a regular game ticket is worth more than face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually looking forward to the Jets game. Will get to see a lot of Campbell and will see how Ramsey does with the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNatsFan Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 THEY ARE NOT FREE and they are no BONUS Definitely worth repeating. I agree that the product is clearly not at the same level as the regular season games, but we as season ticket holders do have to pay full price for them. If people do want to look at them as free, then they should also accept the face value for a regular season ticket as 1 1/4 times the price on the ticket. This year I'll pay $79 for each ticket, 10 games including pre-season, 790$. If the two pre-season tickets are somehow considered free, then I'm paying $790 for 8 tickets, which comes to a "face value" of $98.75 per ticket. By the way, this year, I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of Jason Campbell in the pre-season. I'm actually also interested in seeing Collins run the offense also, since he knows it well. Looking at pre-season games only in regards to how much you see the starters is missing quite a bit. There are quite a few things to pay attention to each pre-season. That's not to say the games are worth what they cost, but there is a lot to watch in those games, and it's easier to isolate and focus on a player or players when you're at the game. The TV coverage and commentary for pre-season games is ridiculous. The "semi-pro" announcers have their prepared pre-season statements and comments and occasionally point out something that's actually happening on the field, but for the most part it's non-stop jabbering about anything but the game. Being there is a much better experience, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Definitely worth repeating. I agree that the (pre-season) product is clearly not at the same level as the regular season games, but we as season ticket holders do have to pay full price for them. If people do want to look at them as free, then they should also accept the face value for a regular season ticket as 1 1/4 times the price on the ticket. I agree, except that I would give SOME value to the pre-season tix. In my mind, the regular season ticket's actual cost is face plus 20% (i.e. 1 1/5 times the face value). This year I'll pay $79 for each ticket, 10 games including pre-season, 790$. If the two pre-season tickets are somehow considered free, then I'm paying $790 for 8 tickets, which comes to a "face value" of $98.75 per ticket. I think you're selling yourself short. You're forgetting the tax that used to be included in the face value of a ticket in previous years, but which Snyder has instead added onto the invoice. This makes a $79 ticket an $87 ticket. Add to that the "pre-season tax" (so to speak), and you're looking at over three figures per seat per game, for upper deck sidelines, first 15 rows, after adding another 20% or 25%, whichever.

Game 3 is the money game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark. Very true. I just blocked the additional tax this year right out of my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
