[QUOTE=Mike135;4419221]Good to hear about improvements and some benefits for the 300 ticket holders. From what I've heard, they're not getting anywhere near the value the Lower Level offers.

This always annoys me though...
"[B]Each account holder[/B] will receive 10 coupons for 50% a single food or beverage (non-alcoholic) item."

Why is everything based on accounts? Should be seats. So some guy who shells out cash for his family of four to go to games gets ten coupons to split for his whole family. Yet the group of four friends that each have their own ticket (account) will have 40 coupons to use. Seems like they penalize fans for being loyal and purchasing more seats on their account.

Hell, I'm loving life in the LSL so it doesn't affect me. Just sayin...[/QUOTE]

Yes, it would be better to do it per ticket, but of course that would be too much work. Wonder if my coupons will be good in the Mezz stands?

You referring to ticket demand?

I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I'm expecting some pretty high demand for tickets this year given a whole new group of fans is looking to attend games. I've even heard a rumor the Captain's Bar is being renovated to a chapel.

As Corn mentioned in a previous thread, our preseason tickets might actually hold some value this year.

things are looking up quite well for those of us with decent tickets. Resale for preseason games might even be higher than the usual zero, and my guess is that all other games (if you or one of your seatholders can't make a game) should be as high or higher than last season.

As for the UD, I have been told that the number of non-renewals this season is considerably less than the non-renewals after the first season when a very large number of the high seniority, former mezz level and midfield lower level STH of Giants Stadium decided that their UD seats chosen because they had no PSLs were awful.

Last season, they used ticketmaster to refill the UD first on a season ticket basis and then an individual game basis and it was (except for the usual seats required to be allocated for visiting team use) once again sold out. No reason, considering the increased interest and demand everyone is speculating about that it won't happen again in 2012.

Who knows, this demand increase could even translate into the purchase of a couple hundred mezz level club seats even closing the "luxury seat" gap needed to be closed to achieve a complete sellout of Jet Life

I wonder why the Jets are not marketing to PSL holders the chance to grab some of the best UD inventory when it becomes available?

I mean if Tebow is so great wouldnt we want extra tickets for families and friends. Since PSLs anywhere near are seats are not available the next best thing would be the UD directly behind our PSL seats. The we would be cut in on deal too.

A pair of UD Prime directly behind my seats would be great for my guests. We could even use morse code and flashlights to communicate given the cell phone reception issues.

Can these coupons be used in lower decks. I mean lots of PSL holders do have seats in the lowers and the uppers already.

supercool, site where fans of Jets and Giants take pictures from their seats and upload them. You can click on section and see the picture. Cool if you want to move seats or buying seats on stubhub or just want to see your own seats.

All over stadium. Lowers, mezz and uppers.

Call your ticket agent. I am sure you will get decent UD seats since you have the PSL's. And I will bet the coupons are only good in the UD.

What demand increase are you talking about? Are you suggesting Tim Tebow's arrival will have a real effect on PSL sales?

We've seen about 2 people sign up on this board to talk about Tebow....do you really think that someone who lives in the NY/NJ area and loves Tebow (for whatever reason) is going to plunk down thousands of dollars and buy season tickets just because Tim Tebow is now a Jet?

The media loves to talk about Tebow - they make him into a controversial figure. But, no one is buying PSLs because Tebow is now the backup QB. That's just nonsense.

The auctions were a publicity stunt to get the Giants off the back pages. It was the Tebow of 2008.
