Jaguars 2011 Ticket Sales

[SarahTay]

Does anyone know if they'll be selling the half-packs this season??? I sure hope...

[Steve]

The goal is to not, and sell out with season tickets.  My guess is that they won't, especially with the lockout fiasco looming.

They probably won't sell half-packs until late June or July, because remember, if they sell a good seat in a half-pack, they can't sell it for a season ticket.  They'd rather wait unitl season ticket sales are exausted.

As of 5/13 we are 63% of the way to the blackout avoidance number.

We need the NFL to get their issues settled sooner not later.

[urbanlibertarian]

Amen, brother.

Probably rhetorical, but how does this compare to the same time/situation last year?

[duvaldude08]

From what I have seen, it is the same as last year. We had about a 78% renewal rate last year as well. Not sure how the new season tickets sales looks compared to last year, but IMO were in the same situation this season.

How is an NFL lockout the same as last season? Ticket sales are waaaaayyy down from last year with little end in sight. NFL teams are cutting salaries of employees, if not laying people off. This is a lot worse than last year with no end in sight.

You know we are screwed when the insiders say that the players can hold out until October, and that the players know they NEED to hold out to get a better deal. I think we have a shortened season of 10 games, if we don't play until October. This really hurts the rookies because they can't get a playbook or reps or even any sense of the team. This basically stinks to high heaven!

Here's the latest breakdown:

Season ticket renewals are at about 72 to 75 percent right now and the Jaguars area bout 10 to 12 percent behind where they were this time last year. On a typical day, they'll sell about 20 to 30 season tickets.

Numbers wise, it doesn't look that bad, though. They started with a base of 17,000 season ticket holders who bought the 30/30 plan last year which allowed them to pay for 30 games (three seasons) over 30 months.

The Jaguars need to sell 50,957 general bowl tickets to avoid blackouts and currently have 32,000 sold. They're planning on having to sell 7,000 in group sales which leaves them with about 11,000 tickets needed to fill the gap.

About 32,000 season tickets have been sold so far, senior vice president of sales and marketing Macky Weaver said at a news conference Tuesday. A total of 50,957 tickets must be sold to avoid a TV blackout.

Every day the lockout goes on, when the owners benefit, hurts the players. You would think GROWN MEN could figure out how to split 9,000,000,000.00

i cant wait to get my Teal Deal book this year, up to $3,000 in deals!

The lockout is really going to hurt teams like the Jaguars, Buccaneers, Raiders, Chargers, Vikings, Bills, Bengals and Cardinals. They typically have to deal with blackouts, blackout extensions and need an entire offseason to sell tickets. I would not be surprised to see games with half empty stadiums if the season is played. And if games are cancelled, it could be worse.

It has happened before so I wouldnt doubt. My older friend told me about the lockout that happen in the 80's. Games canceled, players on strike, etc.

I think Roger Goodell is hurting the league. It shouldn't have come to this. A new CBA should've been brokered before this last one expired. Honestly, he took a pompous approach - with tv revenue in his pocket he felt he had the upper hand on the players... when the players proved in court that this was unfair -he was exposed and the power struggle became even.

Not buying season tickets to a team that has been rebuilding for 8 years. Whenever they get rid of Del-Rio I will buy season tickets. I will check out a few home games this year, and support the team in that fashion.
