    craig carton is an idiot. Jets still have 10,000+ seats left that haven’t sold. The giants had as last reported under 1200.

    They are now releasing those tickets for single game sales so FANS can go. They could do what the jets will end up doing and GIVE those tickets away to sponsors so the games aren’t blacked out on TV.

    The Giants are thinking about the FANS. The jets aren’t.

    Also the jets leaving the top tier as free, was because they knew they had no chance at selling a stadium full of PSL’s… Also by doing that they screwed all the people in the top tier out of their seats. I know this as a FACT because my buddy who i gave my Dad’s “Jets season” seats to, section 313 at the old stadium… had no shot at getting the upper tank. Because all the lower levels were given priority… and the upper deck had to choose no tickets or PSL because all the other lower tiers from the old stadium went to the FREE upper deck.

      I believe the Giants only have club seats open at this point in time. They are the most expensive seats in the stadium: $450 to $700 per seat. Big deal. What “fan” can afford them that doesn’t have a ticket already..?

    Carton is clearly biased as a Jets fan, tired of hearing about how the Jets arent selling enough tickets and happily quick to respond to negative Giants ticket news.

    Doesnt seem like a big deal to me (although Im not a PSL owner) for a few reasons;

    1) they cost more than tickets with PSLs
    2) there are only 1200 seats
    3)Giants explained it as tickets “held back to insure that we comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act regulations, and those tickets we were holding to address issues that may have arisen during the process of assigning seats in the new stadium. Typically you hold more tickets back for those purposes in year one of a new facility than you do in year two, and many of those seats that have been held will be sold as PSLs in the future.”

      As I said above…what are the prices of these tickets that no one would buy a PSL for? $700?

      • BlueXLII

        ESPN’s Giants Blog says they range from $110-$725, but I’m guessing you are right, most of them are the $725 tickets that noone would buy
