Here's a pretty devastating fact: In 2011, the most hyped year the Jets will ever have they finished...16th in revenue. For fun, every other Canadian team is ahead of them including the struggling Oilers and Flames. Should be fun getting people to re-up for possible 3-5 year season ticket packages for a team that has no hope or direction, and seems destined to be mediocre for the next decade. Oh and for a premium on what they paid before.
You're obviously of the opinion the commitment level of the fans will not only stay high, but grow, because who stays commited to a losing franchise? Any attendance dropoff (even 1,500 people a night) will significantly hurt the bottom line (or be made up through increases elsewhere). You have hope, and thats nice, but reality and unbiased examination indicates the Jets could be in trouble very soon. Unless you think people are going to pay the second highest ticket prices in the league to watch a loser (you'll say the Leafs, I'll say 6 million people versus 750,000).
