You don't have it exactly correct. Buying a PSL gives you the right and the obligation to buy season tickets to that team's home games. (When I say you have the obligation to buy the season tickets, what I mean is that if you don't pay for your season tickets one year, you'll forfeit the PSL back to the team). As I mentioned in a previous post, having a team's PSL's gives you no rights to other events at the stadium.I must admit I agree with the OP we are lucky not to have these PSLs heaped on us and Thank You Mr. Kraft for not doing it to us.
But to play devils advocate a little, and keep in mind I dont think this out wieghs the cost, but from what I have heard you do not buy PSLs but rather your basically putting a down payment as you are entitled to the money back when your time is up. And I also believe that with the PSLs you then are not subject to scalping laws and can sell your ticket for whatever price you can get for it.
Again I am not saying this makes it right but I think alot of people especially those like us that dont have to deal with them dont realize this.
Am I wrong about this? Like I said we dont have em hear so my knowledge is very limited on this subject.
When you want to get rid of your PSL, you can sell it to other fans for whatever amount they are willing to pay you. The team does not buy them back from you, nor do they at any time reimburse you for your purchase. You are not entitled to getting that money back and once the stadium you bought the PSLs in is gone, then so is your PSL (as the good folks in St. Louis are discovering).
Similarly, if you want to buy PSL's you can go to any number of marketplaces and make that purchase. So if you have the cash, you can be a season ticket holder tomorrow for the Steelers, Eagles, Ravens, Giants or Jets. Whereas if you want to be a STHer for the Patriots, good luck getting those anytime between now and 2035.
Owning a PSL has nothing to do with scalping laws, although considering there are something like only 4 states left in the country that actually have scalping laws (none of which actually enforce those laws) then I wouldn't worry about that.
