Ugh, yeah I do remember someone saying the financing was available after the down payment. Not to mention, in most cases, people will be buying a minimum of two seats.

It beats trading Josh Allen, I’ll say that for ya.

You’re making a convincing argument that even average earners can afford the new $15,000 PSLs. A 10-year loan at 10% interest is about $200/month.

I’m grateful for the STH that sell their tickets. It makes it much easier to go to the occasional game. Back in the day, it was a scramble to get individual game tickets as soon as they went on sale. And it’s not just the STHs that will be paying the PSL; anyone buying a resale ticket is going to be paying a lot more to account for the PSL and increased game ticket cost. The owners are going to keep pushing the envelope as long as there’s someone buying what they are selling. Corporations may be able to write off the expense of the suites/clubs. The rest of us will be paying more and more and slowly dropping out as the cost becomes prohibitive or we just tire of bending over. Like everything in life, the NFL is changing and you either roll with it or tap out.

Read the prior 2-3 pages. But hurry up because we are now up to 150k a year and rising fast.

Notice that the discussion has been moved from people earning $22/hr buying PSLs to people making $50k a year buying current season tickets. This is how Einstein operates.

Gotta keep that story going about how tragic the PSLs are for the little man. I mean, they won’t even let you use food stamps to buy a PSL. Friggin Pegula!!

You really think people making $22/hour are buying PSLs? They must have elite budgeting skills.

He’s a politician. He heard people were upset, so he jumped out to lead the charge for the common folk. Unfortunately, he’s also an idiot and made people upset when he went to Ohio to view the eclipse. The first comment in response to his waxing poetic about the eclipse is hilarious.

I’m surprised the one club doesn’t have viewing of the field. Is it located behind some suites or just buried in the structure somehow?

I read that the PSL sales can only go toward the stadium construction costs, but it was probably here that I read it so YMMV.

Well, to be completely accurate, he’s also buying tiny wieners on sticks and soft pretzels. Maybe a beef on weck. And a Pepsi.

Ironically, it’s a lot like a timeshare….

I really wish the media would do their jobs and stop rehashing the Diggs drama. It’s over and done with. They need to focus on what really happened with Brittany. I need to know the scoop.

We were on a lakeshore north of Syracuse. You could see the shadow (umbra?) approaching from the southwest. As it passed over, everyone was screaming and cheering. Got to see the ring of fire through the clouds. The sunset over the lake was gorgeous. Then suddenly it was light again. Definitely a lifetime experience. Also, no discernible change from normal traffic despite all the warnings.

The Wikipedia and other articles about the making of the album are really interesting. And the female singer in Great Gig in the Sky sued for a writing credit and won, even though she doesn’t sing any words.

And perhaps this is why the Bills haven’t released an overall pricing structure. They are going with the infamous “dynamic pricing” like done for concerts and other events. They are gauging the market as they sell PSLs from top to bottom. The Bills also have a very layered pricing where different rows in the same section have different prices, at least that’s what I saw from a figure someone presented upthread. So that will give them further flexibility to have multiple price points within section. Perhaps the Bills/Legends have studied past PSL sales and seen the trends in the Jets, Falcons and Raiders sales and developed this method to avoid having to lower prices after they are announced. Just a thought. Not defending it. Offering an explanation.

I think the article does a good job of answering your questions. It wasn’t 20k seats, it was 9,000 unsold seats that they lowered the price to ensure a sell out. They offered 9,000 other seat holders a refund for the difference in the original PSL price and the reduced price. So, you can easily check the capacity of the stadium to see the percentage of total seats this represents. And it seems clear they lost potential revenue by lowering the costs, but it seems doubtful they were in the red because of it, given the percentage of seats it represents. Your question about revenue isn’t really an either/or situation as you posed it; it does represent a loss of revenue and as a consequence, they did not make as much revenue as they had anticipated.

The Jets also refunded the difference to 9,000 PSL holders who had already purchased in the reduced price sections, per the article I linked. The reduced price was for 9,000 unsold seats.

Ummm….because he was drunk? Drinking to excess and poor decision making go hand in hand. A better question is why he didn’t have someone with him for the evening to make sure he didn’t do anything stupid. He must have an agent, and you’d think the agent has a financial interest to make sure his clients are protected leading up to the draft. Definitely makes you pause before giving the guy your millions and valuable roster/cap space.

“Higgins said the team was sending an e-mail Friday to alert fans of the reduced prices in the $1.6 billion stadium. Lower end-zone seats will be dropped from $5,000 to $2,500, as will those in the mezzanine end zone. Seats in the lower-sideline section will be cut from $15,000 to $10,000.” Those are 2010 prices and given how long ago that was, those do seem rather steep, given the Bills are apparently changing similar amounts 14 years later. So the Jets may have overestimated the demand at those prices. Also, this is back when there were TV blackouts if the stadium wasn’t sold out 72 hours before the game. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2010/06/11/ny-jets-cut-prices-for-some-personal-seat-licenses.html

Opinions of people who haven’t been to the presentation are fine, but @Mr Info gave a first hand account that is very different than the opinions of outsiders. So, take it for what it’s worth.

Any indications that Legends has done this shameful practice elsewhere previously? Or is their first attempt at running the show like they are for the Bills?

Well, the new PSL owners will be sitting on their gold fleece orthopedic pillows
