I can say its good to see the city pulling together to sell tickets. I work ar Prudential and they are cashing in on the Teal Deals, and they will be offering $300.00 season tickets at a discount to us for $100.00!! I already sent an email letting them know what I want. I could not pass up a great deal like this. Go jags!!

[BridgeTroll]

Awesome!  This is what is needed.  Small businesses, sports bars, etc can buy a set of season tickets and give pairs away as promotions or rewards to staff...

Technically no.
Cheap seats: 39$
Parking: 20$ (or 5-7$ park & rides)

So around 50-60 for just one person.
Or 40$ for a tank of gas that goes 350 miles...
Food would be a wash in costs.

Just saying... It isn't too expensive, but not cheap either.

But there are many reasons to not have tickets.
My in laws had season tickets since day 1. But had to stop buying them when they were paying their kids colleges off. And then he had multiple transplants, which of course set him back.

I have 400$ a month in student loans to pay off. That will always come first for me. But it won't prevent me from going to a game or two this year if I get a chance, just cannot do season tickets.

I am not made of money.  I paid to park once last year, and that was the Indy game that my family threw a big tailgate at.

You can park free at the courthouse Downtown, or by the unemployment office near the homeless shelter.  It is about a 10 minute walk.  My overweight, out of shape, and unmotivated 62 year old father who has had 3 heart attacks in his life did that 10 minute walk once with me... and if he can do it, most any non-disabled individual can do it.

You can also park free DT and either take the free boatride or free shuttle at Hooters and London Bridge respectively.  A pitcher of beer and a chicken strip sandwich is $13 at Hooters pre-game and that includes your boatride ticket that drops you off/picks up at the Landing/Metro Park.  That not only saves money tailgating, it saves money to park.  

The River Taxi also offers service, $5 each way.

The JTA shuttle usually also gives you a coupon for a free soda, popcorn, or hot dog at the game if you park and ride at the Kings Ave Garage or the Prime Osborne/Skyway lot.($7 park and ride minus the cost of $3 hot dog works out to be a $4 bus ride with free parking)

Additionally, I received about $136 in Jags Bucks from Gate gas station last year($2 for every 10 gallon fillup) so except for a few games where I had a bit too many liquor drinks... I didnt pay a dime out of pocket for food or beer in the stadium.

Also, I have already saved $95 at various establishments around town via the Teal Deals booklet... and Ive only used 5 of the coupons.

It is VERY easy to go to a sports bar or go to the grocery store and get food/beer and watch the game on tv and spend MORE money than if I just went to the actual game.

It's going to be a great season, fly-overs, move the chain chants, fireworks, relentlessly ridiculing the opponents, tailgaiting, grilling, cornhole.... GO JAGS

Excellent points fieldafm!

I've used 5 coupons for just over $180 in savings through the Teal Deals and I have a ton more that I'm looking forward too.

The best deal so far was my meal at Orsay. My gf & I had an appetizer, cheese plate ++ 2 entrees for $25. Unbelievable.

2nd best is the golf passes for South Hampton â€" $20 per player (4) easily saves the group $120 for weekend golf.

That is great to hear.  I remember seeing a lament last season that Prudential purchased many tickets in the early days of the Jaguars but had moved away from that.

Yes I have heard that from the PRU old timers as well. However,  Pru is not the mega insurance monster it used to be and I think that stopped because it was no longer fesiable. (money wise). But they way they did this time, we received an email about the deal and they wanted to know who would be interested and how many tickets we wanted to purchase. And depending on how many people respond, they will go through with it and make them avaiable to us. I commend though even in though times they are trying to support the team.

Absolutely.  They sound like great corporate citizens to me.
