Thousands of empty seats could greet the woeful Jets in the Meadowlands on Monday night — despite 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.
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.
The bargain-basement prices are hardly surprising given the Jets' implosion in 2014, with nine of 11 games lost under coach Rex Ryan.
Making matters worse for Jets ticket sellers is the 8:30 p.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 school night.
Still, when fans pick up the newspapers Tuesday, the Dolphins-Jets box score will likely show attendance north of 78,000 — a figure based solely on tickets sold.
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.
Gang Green has shared the stadium with the Giants since it opened in fall 2010.
Big Blue is also suffering through a playoff-less season, but ticket prices for its final two home dates, against the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles, are holding strong.
As of Sunday, the average asking price was $255 for Washington tickets on Dec. 14 and $289 for Philadelphia on Dec. 28.
"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.
In hindsight, DolfansNYC co-founder Nate "Igor" Smith said he would have waited and bought more tickets at secondary prices.
Still, Smith hailed the price drop on Sunday.
"It's been wonderful. We love it," he told The Post.
