The Flex pack is a good deal.

Sure, if you want to see the opposing team win..... $:-\$

Win or lose doesn't matter when your there to support your team. I understand that positive thinking is not your forte. All your previous post and I am sure more to come are good examples of how you think. Try negtraininjax, suites you better.

I looked at all my friend when we were tailgating for the game this past Sunday and said that I would be there for every game. I enjoy the game and love the Jags, but I enjoy the time with my friends just as much, and for me it is worth it. I am a season ticket holder and will be till i pass them down to my son or the Jags leave... Hopefully it's the first part....

I totally agree. As much as I would like to see the Jags win, I still enjoy the tailgating and social aspect of being at the games too. I personally am appreciative to be one of the few cities with a NFL team even in the down years.

Another aspect to remember is that while the Jags lost... you still saw some great players put on a show. Kurt Warner is a probable Hall of Famer... Larry Fitzgerald is one of the most exciting players in the game etc...

When my financial Situation is better, and it will be, I will be buying tickets again. I formerly had 5, of which I generally needed one or two.

Jacksonville is largely a construction town. I know quite a few people in my same situation. Until that time, I'm counting on those who are not in the same boat to carry the load of purchasing tickets. Commence flaming procedures!

buckethead, you know better. No one is going to fault someone who is out of work or otherwise financially incapable.

I'm sure there are 8500 people in this entire city, who aren't unemployed or in dire straits, who can buy two tickets each and help lift the blackout. It's an issue of will for them, not ability.

Hope you get back to normal soon.

So how do we get them to buy tix, how do we convince the rest of the city that Jacksonville needs the Jaguars and how if we lose them, we will go backwards ten years in the eyes of the rest of the country. How does the annoyed season ticket holder and Jags fan and overall Jacksonville (city) fan get this point across so it is heard? I am from NYC, born and raised and my whole family is there, and I choose Jacksonville. I love it here and will raise my kids here and buy a house and go to the beach and enjoy the weather, and visit NYC a couple of times a year. But I choose to live here, spend my money here, work here and I want to see the Jags stay here and what we need to do as fans is find the 50-55K REAL Jag fans and get them to buy in and the rest will fall into place with the bandwagon people and the come to a game here and a game there people making up the difference.. MJ.com makes noise in this city for so many good things, this is something that we need MJ.com to make noise about as well, it is detrimental to the future of this city.

If I knew that, I'd be posting from One Stadium Place instead of my current office.

Prozac in the water might be a good start. (Kidding, folks!)

cdb · September 23, 2009, 10:48:45 AM

We need MJ to do a big article on this and get it out there to the city, absolutely everyone. And involve the Jaguars. Like why doesn't every bar in the city have 2-4 tix each? They can give them away during promotions, and they they benefit when the Jags games are on TV by having people come out to watch the game, and not just bars, but restaurants with tv's too. Find out how short we really are, what kind of progress do we need to make. people probably feel like there 2 tickets wont make a difference, so why buy them. We need someone in this town besides Wayne Weaver doing a 3 minute radio interview nobody heard to get people in Jax to realize what the ramifications are of this and why we need people of this city to support a team. Please MetroJacksonville.com, MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's some ideas for boosting Jags tickets sales posted this morning:

http://wokv.com/blogs/jaguars/2009/09/the-solution-to-the-ticket-pro.html

I thought these were 2 good ideas:

QuoteFREE UPGRADE.
My first thought is if you buy a seat in the upper bowl, I mean the real cheap seats. Then you get an automatic seat upgrade to the low sections. This will solve 2 problems, one fans might be more willing to go to game for 40 bucks if they can sit on the 50 yard line 10 rows away from the field. The second problem it will solve is when NFL personnel and fans get to see the highlights from the game the stadium will look full.

BRING THE FAMILY DAY
For every ticket purchase you can bring a child under 12 for free. Again the stadium will be packed with kids, kids that want food, sodas, and souvenirs.$$$. Plus what this team needs is a more fans. Little Jag fans make big Jag fans for a lifetime.

ac · September 23, 2009, 11:08:38 AM

I don't think they'll go back to giving tickets away for free. Folks in this town wouldn;t even drive to Winn-Dixie to get free tickets in 2002.

However, the Browns offered select "buy one, get one free" seats to one of their slow-selling games this year. The problem is that the team still has to pay the opponent like 30-40% of the revenue for those "free" seats. Don't know if the Jaguars will be willing to assume the same costs, seeing as they absorbed as many as 3-5k worth of seats to lift some blackouts the last 2 years.

The Jaguars aren't likely to grant access to the Club sections (50-yard line lower bowl) for the price of an upper deck seat for any- and everyone. They do, however, pick guests at random to upgrade to a club seat at each home game already.

They offered family packs this year, with free concessions for either a 3- or 4-ticket purchase, I forget.

They also offer family combo meals for 7 or 8 bucks, depending on whether you want a hot dog or burger with your soda. People pay as much as that for a kiddie burger and coke at Crapplebee's and Chili's.

How about this:

Mr/Mrs. Bar/Restaurant Owner,

You should buy Jags tix at full price and then you can give them away during promotions in which you will make the money you spent on the tickets back. Then the icing on the cake is the extra money you make at your bar/restaurant when you show the Jags home games on TV, that's all profit. And all we ask of you is to buy 2-4 season tickets. We will even break it up for you next season over 10 months, you can't beat that. Now support this team and this city before they move to another state and Sundays in the fall turn into the dead zone in your lovely establishment.

Sincerely,
The Jaguars

I'm sure the article wasn't suggesting moving the nose bleeds season ticket holders to the lower level on the 50 yard line. I was thinking more like taking some of the upper level fans (selected by tenure) and moving them to the lower bowl under the luxury suites outside of the club section. That would also make available more lower priced seats in the stadium and may attract fans on a budget.

Tenured fans from the upper deck would get a taste of better seating which may lead to purchasing upgraded season tickets next season. The new fans in the upped deck can see that it's not a bad view at all from up there and may decide on season tickets themselves.
