Giants won’t ask for money from season ticket holders until lockout ends | ProFootballTalk

Do the Patriots really need to have the season ticket payment in by March 31st?

Kudoe to the Giants. Normally I defend Patriots policies but this is one that irritates the heck out of me too. Even in normal years, most teams don't require the season ticket payments until May or June (or allow for some sort of payment plan to push it back even further).

Pretty sad that I have to come up with about $4,000 by the 31st and I sure as heck ain't seeing as much money from the guys who normally come in with me on them.

FWIW, though, at least you know that if there are games cancelled, you'll get a refund plus interest (granted, only 1%, but that's about what you'd get if you kept it in the bank).

The Maras were there in person working to broker a deal with the NFLPA, the Krafts not so much

I personally don't see the issue with still having the money due. It sucks coming up with the $ every year at this time but I'm pretty sure Kraft isn't going to take me for the $1100 x 10 I'm going to give them. If games are cancelled credits/refunds will be issued just like the playoffs. If the season is cancelled than I'm all paid up for 2012. I'd rather have it due when I planned for it then spend the money and get a letter when this is settled saying the money's due in 30 days.

At the very least, follow the Panthers and allow for just a 10% down-payment. Though I would like to see them follow the Giants lead and not require any money until a season is confirmed.

Check out the Panthers' PSL rates.

Wow. Where's the holier than thou crowd now? Whenever some dare to criticize the Kraft's they are routinely slammed here. Especially me for example.

PSL's?? What are those?? I bet Giants and JETS and Cowboys fans wish their owners had followed Krafts lead on those...

I'll bite

Better that Bobby collects some cash now than cutting Patriots employees salaries right away like most teams are doing
