Jets have been thinking of "dripline" concept for a final last minute type price cut. Don't know if they will use it. In this case the crappiest seats in sections where you get a beer split on hear, jammed against wall, last few rows in middle etc. are labeled for discount without the other seats in section getting the discount. I doubt anyone in LL EZ already in a low row, aisle, under cover will jump on a $1,500 seat in the middle by dripline but some new cheap people will, even more so if you make it no money down and free parking. Once Jets have 75% + of a section sold out hard to do retroactive price cuts. They don't make sense. It also does not make sense for new fans to pay full price to sit in middle under drip line.
Is the "dripline" really that big of a deal? I've got row 35, which looks to be right under the edge of the Mezz. Should I be too concerned about this? From this picture I'd say row 36 is directly under it, but 35 obviously isn't much better, if at all...
There is very little actual dripping from "driplines." The term was born as a differentiation between covered and non-covered areas. Seats in front of the "dripline" were not covered and exposed to snow and rain, and therefore it is sometimes important for someone to know at which row this becomes an issue in their seat selection. Therefore, the inconvenience of "dripline" seats is overrated, IMO, and used by the sales scoundrels as yet another sales tool to show you they are working in your best interests (AHEM)!). Ideally, you'd want to be at least several rows behind the dripline if you want to be completely moisture free, as the wind blows in wierd ways out there. So, being "on" the dripline is the same as being in front of it pretty much, except that after a rain you may get some extra droplets for several minutes longer than someone sitting in front of you who has been in the rain the entire time. And being under the dripline may have saved your ass if the wind was blowing from your rear. Speaking of wind blowing from the rear, pay strict attention to RowOne's posts if you want accurate information on driiplines.

Does anyone have PSL in the LLENDZONE that they want to sell? I have 4 PSL in section 126 row 20 I am looking to get closer willing to trade and give money or buy. Let me know if anyone wants to do this? Pilotoat@mail.uc.edu
You want to trade somebody that has tickets in your section for a row that is closer to the field? For what game and how low are you trying to go?
Good source in that first article posted by RowOneJetFan is Seasonticketrights.com They do have a section on their website where you can research past PSL sales. I think the biggest hit to the PSL Market in the near future will be the upcoming NFL Strike. Will the NFL be able to sustain it or will the market dwindle like when MLB had their strike.
I think the NFL Strike will be short and brutal. Most of the NFL players do not have the money in the bank (or the long careers to make it up) to sustain a long strike. Worst case scenario, we lose a game or two in 2011 is my prediction. Best case scenario, 2-3 preseason games are cancelled.
I sure hope you're right, but the owners are asking them to take a smaller percentage of the pie. And even though most NFL players aren't math majors, they do seem to understand that less is less. And there's such a strong NFLPA that I don't see any one athlete standing in front of the cameras saying that they just want to play and will take less.
