Caution: LA is coming to steal your NFL team in 2011

It's already a done deal in Wayne's mind. It's just a matter of when and where. See my comment in. "How 'bout them Jags."

More like a rant if you ask me. Unless facts are presented that this is even a possibility, everyone needs to STFU about moving already.

I guess I should not bother showing up for the remaining game then.

Now that we have a mind reader on the forum getting to the bottom of things should be a snap.

Even Minnesota, you know, that team with a HoF QB, a All-Pro RB, and OROY WR is still trying to sell out some remaining games.

Cleveland is having major issues, same with Detroit and Oakland. Facing blackout week after week.
Even San Deigo is having a tough sell on tickets. They go right to the deadline before getting an entity to purchase remaining tickets.
The Bengals have had to get extensions as well.


Jacksonville has a high unemployment rate, coupled with the cheaper seats being 20$ higher than other teams cheap seats and you have a problem.

False.

The Jags are in top 3 cheapest tickets and overall gameday experience cost.

We are missing sellouts by like 20,000 each game.  No one has been near that bad.

FALSE!.

The Jags have 50$ cheap seats.
The 3rd lowest includes the overall stadium, where our lower bowl is less than most other teams.
But on an individual basis, the nosebleeds average 15$ more than most other teams.

Go look it up.

The average premium ticket price is 230$ for Jacksonville. This ranks as the 11th highest in the league.

Off of Ticket Master (which Jaguars.com refers you to) Retail Ticket Prices for the cheapest seat (standing only/party pass not included)
Jacksonville: 50$
Oakland Raiders: 36$
Kansas City: 35$
Miami: 41$
Buffalo: 36$
Tennessee: 43$
Indy: 44$
Houston: 35$

Detroit: 50$
Minnesota: 15/30$
Carolina: 38$
New Orleans: 38$
Arizona: 50$

Care to tell me how the cheap seats are the 3rd lowest now?

See my post above.
BTW, we are only selling 5K less than a few teams at the bottom of the rankings as well.

he said 3rd cheapest overall experience...which includes tickets, parking, and food/drinks.

btw...tickets are as low as $40 if you buy them before game day

Still higher than other stadiums.

Or the great marketing plan that they used. Offering discounted tickets to teachers.
I can get nosebleeds for 30$, thats worth that price.

The bottom line is, we have the 2nd highest metro unemployment rate in the NFL, coupled with the 16th highest cheap seat.

[Tripoli1711]

Boo-hoo.  Are you really not going to the game because the ticket is $7 more expensive than it is in Charlotte?  Give me a break.  You just want something for nothing.  You want other people to go to the games so you can watch it for free on tv.

Times are tough, yada  yada yada... but I sincerely doubt the sales would explode if the tickets were $33 instead of $40.

Those 44 to zip lashings aren't helping either.

It's a combination of everything, I think the 2008 season just sucked the life outta the fans and the economy only amplified it.

I agree with you, but we lost one game 41-0 and a couple of others by double digits.  No need to inflate it when a lot of people are seemingly looking for an excuse not to go or to trash the team anyway.  The team's 4-4, not an endless victim of beatdowns.
