Could The New York Jets Be Blacked Out On TV This Fall?

I’m wondering if Jets games might be blacked out in New York this year.

My 6 year old has now been contacted for the 5th time to buy Jets tickets.

I never put him on the Jets list (I wouldn’t ever pay $50 to be on a waiting list), although he was on the Giants list (before turning down tickets earlier this summer because he didn’t have the $60 grand for club level seats).

Did the Giants share the database?

This week we got a call and an email:

Your waitlist account number has been called to select seats for the 2009 season! 

I attempted to call you earlier to let you know that we have reached your seniority year. Since we are assigning seats live on the phone, it is essential that I speak to you as soon as possible in order to take full advantage of your seniority.

Please give me a call on my direct line at (973) xxx-xxxx!

They must be pretty hard up if they are chasing us this much.

What happens if they only sell 99% of the seats?  Will the NFL waive the rule?  Personally I’d love if the Jets are blacked out.  I’d love to see the other AFC teams.   The Jets should move to Mercury when the Mets do.

  1. There is no way the Jets would get blacked out. The Jets would buy their own seats to avoid that embarrassment. A new Stadium, new coach, new QB. Never happen.

  2. I certainly hope the Jets will do what ever it takes to not get blacked out. Perhaps this is why they are holding out on giving Thomas Jones and Leon Washington more money…maybe they know they need the cash on hand to buy empty seats!

  3. we'll find out soon when preseason starts. blackout rules apply there too. that's why season ticket holders have to buy preseason games.
