For years, season ticket holders for the Jets and Giants lamented that they couldn’t give their seats away much less sell them for a profit on the secondary market.
Now, with both teams off to 1-0 starts, demand is high heading into the Jets’ home opener on Sunday and the Giants next home game on Sept. 27.
And if the teams continue to win? The sky’s the limit.
Jets tickets for Sunday’s home opener against the Green Bay Packers at MetLife Stadium are going for an average of $207 on the resale market with multiple tickets priced at more than $2,000, according to the online ticket reseller TickPick.
“With the Giants and the Jets both winning, demand is strong,” said Kyle Zorn, TickPick’s director of content and a former Stony Brook University lacrosse player. “We saw a big bump in ticket prices for the Giants’ next home game. Obviously, these fans are very passionate. New York, the Giants and the Jets, haven't really had a very strong season in quite some time, so the more they win, the more these prices will go up as more fans are buying tickets.”
Jets’ home opener resale ticket prices will be higher in general because the Packers’ “fan base travels pretty well,” Zorn said.
But that’s not the only reason. Jets fans are pumped.
“The home opener against the Packers,” Zorn said, “we saw a big bump in the sales just after that win against the Titans.”
The Giants, who visit the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night, return home on Sept. 27 to face the Tennessee Titans. The get-in price for a resale ticket to that game as of Wednesday was $133 with an average purchase price of $195, according to TickPick.
Imagine what prices would be if the Giants pull off the upset in L.A. with an excellent chance of getting to 3-0 the next week against the bottom-feeding Titans, who were dominated by the Jets in Nashville on Sunday (in a game that saw $20 resale tickets, Zorn said).
“If the Giants upset the Rams in L.A., you’ll start to see what we saw across the board when the Knicks started winning a few seasons ago,” Zorn said. “Everybody gets on board. Everybody wants to be at these games and the demand across the board for all these home games will pick up. You'll see the get-in prices pick up. We'll see sales pick up. If they win Monday, it certainly will have an impact on not only the game against the Titans, but every other home game.”
The Giants’ first game was a Sunday night victory against Dallas at MetLife Stadium. That game had an average resale ticket price of $378, which reflected both the popularity of the Cowboys and the sense of enthusiasm around the Giants under new coach John Harbaugh and second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart.
“A lot of times on the secondary [market] for a vast majority of these NFL games, if it’s kind of like a lesser marquee matchup, tickets oftentimes will fall below face value,” Zorn said. “But if the Giants were to keep this run going, if you’re a season ticket holder, these are going to start to pop up above face value.”
Then you have to decide: Keep 'em or sell 'em. At least this year, you might have a choice.
