Jets' extra upper bowl tickets snapped up

The Jets put almost 2,000 non-PSL, upper bowl seats per game on sale Tuesday morning, and by 8 p.m. had sold all of them for the first two regular-season games.

Season tickets holders - both those with PSL seats and non-PSL seats - were given first crack at the individual game tickets at 10, with the remainder opened to the general public beginning at 4 p.m. via Ticketmaster.

The Jets previously had said the upper bowl was sold out. Matt Higgins, the team's executive vice president for business, said discounted PSL seats led to a "vast migration" from the upper bowl to lower sections, freeing the tickets now being made available.

Higgins said Tuesday morning that 96 percent of New Meadowlands Stadium is sold out "for blackout purposes," meaning non-club seats, and he said he expects the rest to be sold by the Sept. 13 opener, avoiding any chance of a TV blackout.
