Want to sit between the 40 yard lines (lower bowl) in the new stadium? It will cost you $30,000-$20,000 per seat. Sideline seats go for $20,000-$15,000 each. The cheapest lower-bowl seats are $4,000 each (end zone). Of course, these prices DO NOT include the cost of tickets. Unreal. If you want season tickets in the lower bowl you must buy a PSL. Green Beans fans who can't afford PSLs (which I figure should be about 95 percent of them) can buy tickets in the upper deck. How, on earth, are they going to fill that place? They'll probably end up having to sell the lower bowl as individual game tickets.
I'll bet they give Fireman Ed a price break. He can stand alone in the lower bowl and lead the J-E-T-S cheer for everyone else seated in the upper deck. During night games they can put a spotlight on him.

Did you see what the Mets charged thier season tickets for last year?
It was so bad that for awhile all I saw when watching a Mets game was executives in $300 suits in the front row.
First it was the rise to a 10% tax...now its gone out of control to live or be a fan in NY
Honestly, I can't believe there are enough rich people who want to watch the Green Beans even on television! The chart indicates they've already dropped the per-game ticket price on some club seat PSLs (top ticket is $700/game). They have 15-year PSL installment payment plans, so Wrecks will likely be dead before they're paid off. Any Jester fans here have a clue on how things are going with this boondoggle?

It will be like Gillette, but potentially much worse. Corporations for the most part will be the ones purchasing the lower bowl seats and the the crowd will be the shirt and tie variety. That stadium could be really quiet during games since the shirt and tie crowd (as we see from the club seats at Gillette) seem to be more passionate for the concessions than what is going on playwise on the field. I have been in the club seat section during games and many times you would think the people were at a funeral they are so quiet and emotionless.

Well that's no problem, they can just send that message to all the season ticket holders the week of the Pats game like they did this year, right?

Seriously folks, reading stuff like this almost makes me wish there were another league to root for. Not that I would ever give up on the Pats or the NFL, but come on... they are pricing the biggest portion of their fan base right out of the equation. The NFL is getting too big for its britches.
Maybe losing part or all of the 2011 season will pop the bubble some and we can get back to some semblance of sanity. I wouldn't hold my breath though.

I Googled PSL, since I am still not really clear on the whole thing. Here is one thing I found:
Q. What is the benefit of owning a PSL?
A. A PSL gives the owner more control over a seat than with a regular season ticket, which can only be transferred to a family member.
I am failing to see how that could possibly be benificial (to the fans). Why should I have to buy a liscence for "right" to buy a ticket, when I can just go to a different stadium and only buy a ticket? It's mind boggling why people haven't told the ownerships trying to implement these into thier new stadiums a resounding "NO".

PSLs basically give you ownership of the tickets for life once you've purchased them. It also allows you to gift them to someone other than a direct family member should you die. PSLs also give you right of first refusal for buying tickets..
While I agree with you that it's ridiculous, there have been cases where a person has willed their season tickets to someone only to have the team step in and take them away because the person wasn't a direct family member.
OT: Green Beans PSL prices are INSANE!
Sideline seats go for $20,000-$15,000 each.
