Season Tailgate Passes NEW PERK FOR SEASON PASSES!!

If you are planning on joining us for a few games, the TGJ Season Tailgate Pass is a great option. In addition to being a significant savings off the gameday donation, it helps us raise some funds early for equipment purchases we need to make in preparation for the season.

This season, we have kept the donation the same as last year, but we have added something extra for Season Pass Members. We will set up a VIP tent for one of the games which will include a beer tap and some extra special food.  It will be something special that Joe can’t really do for the regular sized crowd, it may even be a choice that we will put to vote among the members. Week 1 I will discuss with all the pass holders and will come up with a week that works for the majority of the group.

We will be offering a limited number of passes for a limited time. I am planning on keeping this active until mid to late May, but may close it down any time before that.

$270 a savings of $130 off the game day donation

The pass entitles one person to access to all 8 2018 home NY Jets regular season tailgate parties

VIP Tent

We offer an upgraded semi private VIP experience for those with a small group that want to join the biggest and best NY Jets tailgate party at Metlife, but also want a small private area for their group. These are in limited supply, with between zero to three available per game depending on the schedule and bookings. There are two options:

  • For a flat fee of $450 we offer a tent/keg option. We set up a 10×10 tent and personal keg plus co2 draft system.
  • For a flat fee of $650 we offer a tent/keg/waitress option. This includes everything plus a waitress who will skip the food lines and handle getting food for the group.

These fees are on top of the per head donation for that game, which typically runs $35-$50 depending on game and tailgate party menu. These are meant for groups of 4-20 people. You can also contact us at joe@tailgatejoe.com for other options to enhance your VIP tent.

Upgraded Experiences

For those that want something a little different, like a special menu, your own tent, etc. Want a full NY Steak house spread with the top prime grade cuts available? Italian specialties? An oyster bar? A parking lot poker party? We can make it happen.

    Hey wassup Joe
    Question if I wanted to get 2 passes for the season. What do you mean about game donations? How much would I have to donate per person and game .

    • Joe Aug 7, 2018, 10:15 pm

      Hi Gilberto, our tailgate season pass allows you admission to very home regular season tailgate. If you would rather handle it on a game by game basis, the donation is per person per game.

    Thanks,

    Hello. We are 4 guys from Canada coming to the Sept 16 Jets vs Miami game. What would the donation price be and what does it include? We haven’t gone to a Jets tailgate party before.

    thanks

      Hi Shawn, links are now up for the game. All of our parties include all the food and beer you can handle, and yes we bring enough beer even for Canadians!
