Jets cut prices on 18,000 PSL's
So it comes down to this.
As a last ditch effort to sell out GIANTS Stadium for Jets game, the Jets organization has decided to cut prices on 18,000 seats up for PSL's. Cuts are going for as much as 50%. After the Jets failed to coax fans with constant phone calls and emails to buy the seats at the previous, ridiculous rates, the Jets have no choice but to cut prices.
But don't jump on that credit card that fast Jet fans, because the prices are still steep. Lower end zone seats have been reduced from $5,000 per seat to $2,500 per seat. Second level mezz. end zone, has been cut from $4,000 a seat to $2,500 a seat. Finally, the lower sidelines have been slashed from a whopping $15,000 per seat to $10,000 per seat. Overall, the cuts are costing the Jets $47.25 million in losses.
The prices are still ridiculous. Jet fans should continue to protest the costs until these prices are reduced to a resonable rate, if not eliminated. The Giants have sold out the building, with the exception of 1,500 seats that could always be sold on a individual game basis, or sold to brokers on Stub Hub.
At least the Giants have a recent history of success; they won the Super Bowl more than two years ago. The Jets are a bigger gamble for investors, they were a lucky lot to get to the playoffs last season, and have not had a season of more than 10 wins in 11 years.
