THREE New York Jets fans bidding on “personal seat licenses” at the new Meadowlands Stadium should have read the fine print on their online auction agreements more closely, a Nassau judge has ruled, dismissing a claim that the Jets and online ticket broker StubHub, Inc. defrauded season ticket buyers by raising the minimum bid from $5,000 to $10,000 and dropping the number of available seats from 2,000 to 600. The plaintiffs did not purchase any of the seat licenses in the auction lasting from Oct. 19 to Oct. 27, 2008.
Prior to bidding, users had to register under a “user agreement” that provided that the team “does not guarantee any specific number” of seats would be sold. Further, nothing in the agreement prevented “the defendants from changing the terms of the auction prior to the start of bidding,” Nassau Justice Angela G. Iannacci (See Profile) wrote in dismissing the case. The Jets’ first game at the new $1.7 billion stadium is against the Giants on Aug. 16. Poisson v. New York Jets LLC, 9125/09 appears on page 48 of the print edition of today’s Law Journal. — Vesselin MItev
