Crowd was dull at first, including myself. However, as the game grew on and defensive stands were more impactful, a lot of the crowd was on its feet. The lower level stood for most of the 4th quarter, I was pleasantly surprised given last week's debacle and the overall feeling around the organization and its fanbase.

many of the regular psl owners sold out last night and maybe some of the real fans from the old stadium showed up instead.

What they fail to grasp is that the "real fans from the old stadium" are already there, always have been since MetLife opened. They are in PSL seats, they are in the upper deck, or they buy a-la-carte off of StubHub saving themselves money.

The old time fans didn't stop coming to the stadium; they just changed how they get there. Everyone's happy. Except banned posters pretending to dump $60,000 in PSL's under a phony userid.

I sold out last night.

And some dad with his kids that couldn't afford decent seats experienced a good game with a great view at a great discount at my expense. I'm ill, couldn't go, recouped $200, some diehard fan got $500 worth of seats.

Why is that a bad thing, -G̶M̶C̶- Nike?

Again, why is that a bad thing?

Jets PSL owner couldn't go, sold tickets at a discount to get a few bucks back, some dad with his boys got to go to the stadium instead, everyone wins.

What you fail to understand is that this is been going on since 1984, as far back as the Giants Stadium days running 25 years to 2009. The difference, and it's a big one, is that instead of a Jets season-ticket holder missing the game and getting the tickets to nobody, there is now a mechanism to make sure that really good fans are able to get in the seats. Get it?

When I lived in New Hampshire and was a season ticket holder for 10 years, all we had was eBay. I lived five hours away, and simply couldn't attend more than five games a year. On average, I would be able to sell two maybe three games a year that's it. The rest of the seats went unsold because there wasn't a place to congregate Jets fans to get the tickets sold efficiently and reasonably. Now, instead of eating $1,500 a year I break even (if the Jets are decent) or eat $600 (if the Jets are weak).

I keep saying this, and maybe this time it will sink in: there are more Jets fans than ever before sitting in the Meadowlands watching the Jets play. PSL's and StubHub work. Everyone's happy except you. Stop whining.

That's attendance, people scanned through the gates on a Monday night, cold, dreary, depressing team situation, second of three consecutive home games.

tickets were almost free. i expected a larger turnout than usual on cold dreary night.

the jets actually showed up thats a positive for many season ticket holders including you and i.

stop trying to turn this into a battle of you vs me. im done with it. thanks

Are you retarded? What proof? That there were a couple thousand seats listed on stub hub for a MNF game? And that as game time came closer, the prices were dropped? OK Sherlock, do you think you have discovered something enlightening? LOL. That's nothing new. Happens for most MNF, SNF and TNF games. You just pissed away $40,000. You really should shut up. You are making more a fool of yourself, if that's even possible.

If yesterday's game was played in 1990 in Giants Stadium there would have been 20,000 empty seats. Because of StubHub, there were only 3,000.

You don't need to worry about how I spend my fun money. I lost $300 yesterday but good, loyal, loud Jets fans got to go and I made a little back. I'm not in this to make money. The fact that my PSL's will appreciate as the years go by means little because I'm never selling them. Every season ticket holder skips a few games because of family conflicts. Every season ticket holder expects to lose a little money on the games he can't attend.

Enjoy your TV.

Why do you keep posting misinformation? Listen I'm not saying the place wasn't full last night or that it wasn't a great crowd. I wasn't there as I'm sure you will point out.

However facts are facts, That is not the amt of people scanned through the gate. The NFL does not report no shows. That is the amount of tickets sold. Now how many of those were bought by Woody to avoid a blackout? We'll never know. How many of those were sold by the Jets on 3rd party sites like stubhub? We'll never know.

SAR your act is getting tired. You spam this board trying to defend Jet ticket sales with constant lies and misinformation. Your best value to this board is as an entertainer but seriously you are getting very boring.

weeknight games have the highest number of no-shows and the most ticket resales. It can be tough for families with school aged children. I got home at about 12:30. My son gets on the high school bus at 6:45am. Lots of families sell the night games because of this.
