| HACKENSACK — A class-action lawsuit has been filed against the New York Jets after they announced that licenses would no longer be required to buy season tickets in MetLife Stadium's mezzanine section – a decision that renders the costly licenses "entirely or substantially worthless," according to the suit. Saddle Brook attorney Jeffrey Herrmann filed the suit Friday in Superior Court on behalf of a longtime Jets fan from Connecticut who paid $8,000 in personal seat license fees for two seats in 2010. The suit aims to recoup the license fees paid by his client and other fans who bought licenses for some 5,000 second-level seats in MetLife Stadium. The Jets organization had previously represented to fans that buying the seat licenses was the only way to obtain season tickets in the stadium's 200-level seating, according to the suit. However, the Jets said this year that non-license holders would also be allowed to buy season tickets. |
Was thinking the same thing. People ask why I think the nfl jumped the shark, this was one of the things that started it.
Different time and era. As it pertains to the Giants, prior to MetLife, there was a 50+ year waiting list for season tickets and ticket resale sites were not as prevalent. Getting tickets to Giants games was close to impossible unless you went thru ticket brokers who were incredibly expensive.
