Hi All,

I am travelling from Australia to the US for the first time in Oct and will be in NYC on the 5th and was wondering if it was realistic to try and get tickets to Seattle vs Giants.

Any advice on best sites, how much to spend would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

All Giants games are sold out but you can try www.stubhub.com. The tickets will not be cheap.

I went to a Jets game last year when I was in New York and will be doing the same when I am back in the USA later this year. (Jets v Broncos)

A friend who lives in NY bought the tix off StubHub and they were good. We ended up paying $120'ish per ticket, though it depends where you want to sit to how much you pay.

If you look at the StubHub site, the tix were in section 135, which is endzone corner.

The tickets were pretty good - we had a nice view of the game, we were undercover (protected us from the squadrons of paper planes coming off the top tier of the grandstand) and we were not looking into the afternoon sun.

Buses run from the transit centre, it was easy to find the departure point, just follow the streams of people wearing jets / giants jerseys!

Hope this helps a little.

Just a hunch, but I think that tickets for Jets and Giants games on stubhub.com will be higher than usual this year. This due to the fact that the Giants just announced the prices of Personal Seat Licenses and the Jets are about to do the same - that go into effect for the new stadium, but the deposit is due soon.

The Giants and Jets play in New Jersey. I would reccomend a scalper. there are plenty along Rt.s 3,17 and 120 as well as Moonachie Ave.
