NEW YORK (AP)—The New York Jets are raising ticket prices.

The team announced a 2.3 percent across-the-board ticket increase Tuesday, with most PSLs going up $5. Prices for the PSLs range from $2,500 to $25,000. Upper level seat prices will remain unchanged.

Also, the payment schedule has been modified because of the NFL labor situation. Fifty percent payment is due April 1, with the rest when training camp dates are announced.

The team also said business-side employees are being asked to take a one-week per month unpaid furlough if the NFL and its players’ union fail to reach a new labor agreement by the March 3 deadline.

The Jets have played in the past two AFC championship games, losing most recently to the Steelers 24-19 on Jan. 23.

Throughout training camp and the beginning of last season, one of the main never-ending stories around the New York Jets was whether the team could get cornerback Darrelle Revis(notes) to sign an extension and back onto the field. That, of course, finally happened in September when he signed a four-year deal worth $46 million and then went on to make 32 tackles this season.

His cornerback partner, Antonio Cromartie(notes), had 42 tackles and three interceptions this season and is supposed to become an unrestricted free agent in a still-confusing NFL labor world.

Revis tells ESPN New York that signing Cromartie is imperative: “It will be very important, we need him,” said Revis. “(Cromartie) has made a lot of plays for us. … He’s a great corner.”

Of course, Cromartie brought the Jets some bad PR this year on a few occasions, calling New England Patriots QB Tom Brady(notes) a nasty word before the playoffs and doing the same to the NFLPA and NFL owners, among other things.
