PSL Fee's

As insane as this seems in 2010 when he NY Giants start playing in their new stadium their season tickets will incude a PSL (personal seat license) Which means they charge you a 1 time fee of up to $20,000 on top of the price of the season ticket per seat! So if you have 4 premium seats you owe $80,000 plus whatever the season tickets cost. This is total bull-sh*&t and lets hope that other teams in whatever sport don't follow this crazy idea that is somehow legal. This PSL is like some bad joke that is somehow real. It makes the real fans that honestly support a team not possiable be able to get season tickets.

	The state of Arizona is waaaay smarter...they added extra taxes onto car rentals and hotels to pay for their baseball,football & hockey stadiums. That way the tourists are paying much towards the cost of the new stadiums! 07/17/2008 10:06 PM

	If they don't get it from the fans through PSL's,they'll go to the politicians and try to get them to ram a bill by the taxpayers to make them pay for it...no winners on either front. 07/17/2008 11:13 PM

I found this online...something to go along with this blog: By Paul Hagan The Philadelphia Daily News PHILADELPHIA - Seventeen new ballparks have sprouted up since Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992. The Yankees and Mets will add to that number next year. The Twins' playpen is under construction. The Marlins, Rays and Athletics are working hard to join the parade. By now, we all know the drill. We "ooh" and "ahh" over the wide concourses and modern conveniences of the new place. We reminisce about our pleasant memories of the old. And life goes on. What sometimes gets lost in the gee-whiz factor here is that the price of tickets and concessions in these modern facilities, almost all supported at least in part by taxpayer dollars, invariably rises sharply. The New York Post recently reported on a man who has been a Mets season-ticketholder since 1964, the year the team moved out of the Polo Grounds and into Shea Stadium. As recently as 1993, he said, his annual tab was $5,837. Five years later, it was $11,836. By last season it was $23,702. This year it's around $33,000. And when he got a letter informing him that comparable seats at Citi Field next year would set him back about $60,000, he decided he'd had enough and informed the club that he won't be re-upping next year. It wasn't that long ago that a family of four could go to a ballgame for roughly what it would cost to go to a movie. Baseball proudly billed itself as affordable family entertainment. Commissioner Bud Selig, speaking at the All-Star Game on Tuesday, sort of shrugged when asked about the escalating cost of seeing your favorite team in person. He pointed out that more than 80 million tickets are projected to be sold this year, suggesting that this means families still must be coming out. He stressed that each team must be sensitive to the demands of its own market. Still, you have to wonder if this, like starting crown-jewel events so late that most kids can only watch a couple innings, is a chicken that will eventually come home to roost. And if that Mets fan might decide to transfer his loyalty to the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League. ...View More

There are soo many fans for a major market team that people are obviously willing to pay anything to go. But that's a cool article on it Mike. Plus price of tickets through a ticket agency. They are always a min of twice the face value. I almost always will by from scalpers up there at Fenway because they are the same price or less than a ticket agency. The Rays have a couple envents every year called "professional singles nights" $30 gets you a private room for 2 innigs with all your food/drinks included then you sit in general grandstand seating for the rest of the game. This is not only an great deal but now that the Rays are doing good this season and people are now showing up for games it will be intersting to see if these events will still exist in the future. Or they will just be more money. But as crazy as the price of tickets are I still go to several Sox games every year and still will. I would just being going to more if they where cheaper. ...View More

	The price of tkts is directly proportionate to the price tags of the players. If you really really want cheap tkts, you'll really really get cheap players. (Sorry. I hate that fact, too.) 07/19/2008 2:21 PM
