The ticket booth people asked him to call the owner and see if he would make a payment.

My cousin called the PSL "owner" who said he could not make a payment. I know the PSL owner. He had two knee surgeries this year and was out of work for many months so I was not surprised (season ticket holder for 20+ years).

The ticket booth people suggested my cousin make a payment for the PSL owner which he declined to do.

He walked to the back of the ticket gate and bought 2 tickets for $25 ea. One was in the 300s and the other was in the Lexus Club ($225 face value).

At any rate he ended up sitting in the PSL owners seats with his sons in the 100s anyway.

This example shows the Jets have problems with a policy of issueing tickets to PSL owners on a payment plan.

Does Stubhub check to see if PSL owners selling tickets are on track with their payments before putting them on line for sale? Do we have to call the owners every time we buy a ticket in the parking lot?
just another debacle the PSLs have brought in. I seriously doubt stubhub checks anything aside from the commission deposits they get.

(yeah do the math...the kid was watching the games and cheering let's go Jets at such a young age and would thank me for having him come with me to the games). I think that's why I went club. To create a better experience for me and my family. Wifey likes the club but i don't know...I'm curious to find out what seats are up for grabs in the future. Should i keep the three I have or go lower sideline level where the crowd is more active. On the orherhand Getting two green parking passes is a nice perk. Maybe I'll work something out mutually beneficial as the Jets will have no problems having a Jet fan relocate to my club seats.
The Jets will only allow you to swap your current PSLs for better (more expensive ones). Not the other way around. My neighbor and I each had 4 Mezz A seats @ $4,000 PSL price (16K total). For all the chatter how "great" Mezz corners are, the reality is that you are still behind the back line of the end zone and a lot further from the field than were Mezz corners in Giants Stadium. We don't think they are all that great, frankly, despite what people say here. We both swapped our 4 Mezz A seats for a pair of LSL seats @ $10,000 PSL ($20 k total) and paid/financed the $4,000 difference. Couldn't be happier. Best decision we made.

So if you want to get out of the clubs (game day prices way too expensive), all you need do is call the Jets and ask to upgrade to Lower sidelines ($10k) or any other PSL section that has a higher PSL price than the club corners.

When my wife and I went to FedEx Field a few years back we knew we were in the highest upper deck in the NFL.

It had a capacity for 100,000 people at one point.

Cheese & friggin crackers dude. You`re just a child. All this time I thought you were some old fat balding idiot like most A-holes posting the crap like you do on the internet. LOL If thats even you in that pic? If not, you really shouldn`t post pics of other kids without their permission. It`s against the law and you can get screwed by doing that. I`m only gonna say this once, unless you continue to carry on with it ofcourse, but, you really don`t know much about life at the age you`re at, regardless of what you may think. I can see now that daddy, or daddy-in-law has taken care of you kids. I have even less respect for you now than before, and it wasn`t much. Good for you kids. I`m glad there are still parents out there who will do anything for their children while they`re still alive. And before you go into any of your ridiculous diatribes about how you "earned" whatever it is you have, I will never believe you that you didn`t have any help from either side of your parents.

Have a great life. I`m sure you earned it all Mike(if that is your name).

The Cowboys have a pretty high upper deck.

MetLife has to lead the league in horrible upper deck corner seats. They create excess supply and devalue the entire upper deck.

If you sell invalid tickets on StubHub, they get back the money from your credit card. They take very good care of their customers. Very little risk as a buyer.

Well don't sit in NYC because that isn't where the Jets play. You need to know the swamp water levels in NJ.

Cowboys is significantly higher. An entire extra level. That's why you have that monster screen up there.
