Jets-Dolphins tickets selling as low as $11: Report

Forget the mall and Black Friday for low prices. If you are really searching for a bargain, look no further than MetLife Stadium and Green Monday.

Thousands of seats are still available for Monday night's Jets-Dolphins match-up where prices have tumbled as low as $11 on the secondary market — in what will be the cheapest ticket in MetLife Stadium’s NFL history.



By Sunday night, seats could be had for as little as $11 on the open market for Gang Green’s game against the Miami Dolphins, reported the N.Y. Post.

The tickets had a face value of $66 a piece, not including licensing fees paid by season-ticket holders. The average secondary-market price was $65, says TiqIQ, which tracks prices of resold ducats.

The previous low was set by the Jets’ game against the Arizona Cardinals on Dec. 2, 2012, when the lowest average asking price was $113, TiqIQ data show.



Adding to the non-demand for Jets ticket sellers is the 8:30p.m. kickoff for “Monday Night Football.”

East Coast prime-time games regularly drive down prices because local fans don’t want to be out after midnight on a work or school night.

So much for the City That Never Sleeps reputation.

In reality, between 50,000 to 60,000 fans will be at MetLife on Monday night, estimated Chris Matcovich, TiqIQ’s vice president of data and communications.

“Essentially, the Jets’ fan base has thrown in the white towel,” Matcovich said.

A city-based Dolphin fan club bought 1,100 tickets for Monday’s game — 900 from the MetLife box office and 200 from secondary sellers.

So expect to see a sea of aqua.

Chicago fans' beers froze solid during Bears-Cowboys game (PHOTOS)

Fans who braved the bitterly cold weather to attend Monday night’s football game between the Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys had more to content with than just the frigid conditions when their beer started to freeze.

Chicago has a well-earned reputation for brutally cold winters, but Monday night's game at Soldier Field set a new record as temperatures plunged and the Windy City experienced its coldest December night in 18 years.



Players as well as spectators had to suffer the bone-chilling conditions, but while pitch side they used heaters to thaw out their Gatorade buckets, fans in the stands weren’t so lucky as their drinks slowly turned into Slurpees®.

Several beer drinkers posted photos on social media sites of their frozen hops and barley, including one person whose drink had so completely turned to ice that they could turn their cup upside down and not spill any.



Bears fans could at least enjoy the final result, a convincing 45-28 win which puts them back in the playoff race.



The official game-time temperature on Monday was a frigid eight degrees and wind chill conditions made it feel -9℉, but it still doesn’t come close to the coldest days ever in Chicago.

Next time, switch to whiskey.

RG3 gets kicked in the cojones by 49ers' Aldon Smith (GIFs)

To say Robert Griffin III was having a rough time Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers might be an real understatement — and that was before this play. While attempting to get off a pass as the defense closed in around him, RG3 took a kick to his nether regions from 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith during the third quarter.

And the Redskins quarterback went on to call signals as a soprano for the rest of the game.


Here's more of the poor guy's agony.

Mariano Rivera wears Eli Manning jersey during MNF coin toss

Hoping to turn the team’s fortune's around, the New York Giants called in newly-retired New York Yankee Mariano Rivera to do the honorary coin flip for their game against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night.


The legendary Rivera wore an Eli Manning jersey to the game then sat in owner John Mara's suite with his family.

Rivera, who retired this season after a 19-year career with the New York Yankees, also spoke briefly before the game with several of the Giants including Mara and head coach Tom Coughlin.



The future Hall of Fame closer was probably telling them how weird it felt to actually be starting a game — even if it is football.
