Season Ticket Holders- How you feeling?

BigBlueDownTheShore : 9/17/2018 2:27 pm
I know my parents are concerned they will probably take a loss on the tickets this year after last night.

What's the draw to go see the team, when they can't score even with a few really good weapons.
What’s the draw?

Here is no draw other than tailgating and my section. Might as well watch a bunch of flies fuck on the field.
I sold

my entire season in June at a 500 dollar profit. Best decision i ever made. I will still go to most of the gamez, but I will come out way ahead

Tried to convince my parents to do the same, but they didn't listen to me.
Wow, really?

If you a season ticket holder who doesn't want to go for the rest of the year after a 0 - 2 start, I am surprised you ever got tix.

I will still go to every game.

right now....not very good.  
BillKo : 9/17/2018 2:39 pm : link
But this is what you sign up for when you are a season ticket holder.

Last year I went to the least amount of games for me since 2010, and that was three games.

The NFL's history is littered with teams who look terrible to start and get things turned around.....i'm not so optimistic but I'll be at the NO game..............

We've had them for 60+ years in the family, and we are just at a point where no one can afford to take them over in my family yet and don't wan to lose them. So, we do what we can to try to keep them in the family.
I will still attend every game

the tailgating is fun. I get an afternoon out.
This team will get a bit better but will win perhaps 5 games?

The experience is great. Team just s_cks.
I sold my PSLs  
Bubba : 9/17/2018 2:51 pm : link
3 years ago and never looked back. Having attended all games since the 60's I understand the frustration.
Not great...  
BigBlue89 : 9/17/2018 2:51 pm : link
7 more home games of this mess.

My tailgating crew skipped 2 of the last 3 games last season, I expect they'll do the same. That cowboys game could be the worst Giants/Cowboys game ever with how many Dallas fans will be there.
I sold the pre-season and the Jags game for a profit...  
EricJ : 9/17/2018 2:58 pm : link
If I wanted, I could easily sell every game for list price or more based upon the location. So, I am not worried about losing money here. What sucks is that it will be two years that I will go to a game and it will be meaningless.

There is nothing worse than leaving the house at 9am to go to the stadium, hang out in the parking lot, watch a shitty Giants' team... then on the drive home at the end of the day realize that I wasted both time and money watching bad football.

I would rather just sell the tickets and go fishing Sunday morning. Get home in time to turn on the TV and watch it all unfold. That way, I only lost 3 hours of my life.

Profit off of preseason and Jags is a huge win. My parents can't sell the preseason tickets to save their lives, we usually just give them away since we just don't want them to go to waste.
I have been able to sell pre-seasons  
upstatenyg : 9/17/2018 3:41 pm : link
Usually at a slight loss for game 1, and face for the second one.

For me, going is much more about the whole experience, catching up with friends, tailgate, and there is usually something in the game that is exciting.

Overall, I am surprised to hear any long time holder not going because of quality of the team (cost, and keeping in family is different).

If I have gone to 200 games, I am going to guess my record while attending is 101-99, it really is any given Sunday.

You just never know when you will have a crazy breakout day by any player. Even last week in the rain, the Saquon run made my day.

Yeah, the appeal of lower cost and a couch where it is warm is easy to understand, but for me, I will be there every game I planned.

My tailgate crew is large and strong. Helps dull the pain.

When you paid for parking vs prepaid now many attended games for tailgates, and if an extra ticket popped up great. Other would walk the lots asking for a ticket to "walk in with" ... so you knew the person sitting next to you etc.

Still going, still cheering.
Going to Bears Giants December 2nd  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 9/17/2018 3:56 pm : link
with brother in law who is a big Bears fan. It'll be the first time at Metlife for either of us. I'm hoping tickets will be cheap.
