Saw Vito's report in the TU today, that while sales have been brisk, the team expects to lose another 5,000 season ticket holders this year alone. Combine that with the 17,000 from before, and its a good bet, according to him, that we will see blackouts again this year.

Mtrain.. to put it in some perspective.. the TU today says that the Jaguars are essentially where they ended the season last year ticket-wise. They have had equal number new sales and non-renewals.

Season ticket sales always pick up rather briskly after the draft. We certainly do have a long way to go, but I think we can get there with the momentum that is starting to build. I seem to recall that we had to sell something like 10,000 club seats within a week when Touchdown Jacksonville was resurrected. Those required 3 year commitments as well. We can do this, we just have to keep working at it.

Good idea Jags I think this will help.Lets hope we have a good draft and good season to follow. Go Jags!!!!!!!!!!!!

At first they required 3 years of ticket sales now they are offering a great incentive for 3 years. I think the 30/30 plan will be popular as long as they use it. It also offers a good hedge against a bad season costing you too many season ticket holders. If Jax could put itself in a good ticket position for 3 years maybe much of the speculation we always receive will back off. Good job Jags keep it up.

An AFC Championship would also help. Go Jags!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets get a move on, no blackouts! which is in my opinion the most counterproductive and self defeating policy imaginable.

Jags are now 55% of the way to the blackout avoidance number. 79% of season ticket holders from last year have renewed.

The kitschy-but-neat little fuel gauge has been removed, I see. Too bad. Nothing says progress and inspires like a fuel gauge that's over half full.

It's still there. It just shares time with ads now. And, it's more than half full.

Excellent! I guess I just didn't wait long enough for the rotation. Thanks for straightening me out, aaa!

The meter hasn't moved yet, but it looks like another ~400-ish new sales this week plus the renewal rate increased to 82%. Bottom line is, every ticket sold in the last 2 weeks & going forward is an improvement over last year's position at the start of the season......And on a "I'm now changing the channel" side note, what's up with WJXT running such a slanted story last week regarding "failure" to meet the 80% renewal objective in March? They "failed" to mention that we were within 200 tickets of that goal @ 79%! Here's the headline: Jaguars Fail To Meet Latest Ticket Goals - Team Did Not Meet Goal To Renew 80% Of Season Ticket Holders By March.
It was pretty unnerving to read the story as it was picked up & further hyperbolized by some national media - a la The National Football Post & ProFootball Talk......grrr.

QuoteWe can do this, we just have to keep working at it.

We're at 57% of the quota needed to keep from blackouts. Draft is the 22nd. I sure hope the draft does it, I doubt it, Weaver needs to really get out and be seen. Too much apathy towards the team.

This is Weaver's business, but its our team. Come on Jax, get off your duffs and buy a seat.

Where are the TV & Radio spots? Where are the billboards along I-95 North and South? Where are the ads on line - this site included? Why don't they landscape "Go Jaguars" into some of the medians anymore? Why aren't the buildings lit up in teal or "Go Jaguars" anymore? While I appreciate the "grassroots" effort put forth by Team Teal, it certainly needs to be a supplement to a much larger initiative. Once again, while driving into Orlando down I-4, there were Bucs & Dolphins billboards pushing tickets - In "OUR MARKET" - so we're told.............Not a spotted cat in sight. The best thing to date that I've heard was Mike Sims-Walker tweeting his fans/followers earlier this week to meet him at the movies in Regency & he'd pick up the tab! I'm serious - more visibility creates an identity & a subsequent following/loyalty. Not handouts, just involvement. I can probably still name more players from '95-'99 than the present roster. I even remember Keenan's bail bond commercials!
