PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion

So investments...

 

Let's say I get a pair of tickets for the new stadium with the intention of going to three games a year, and selling the other 5-6 games.  For those three years, I go to the games I want to, and use the profits from sales pay the ticket price for those games, and collect the extra profits pay off the PSL fee I incurred.  

 

Then after three years I sell the PSL rights to someone else who pays 25% more then what I paid (which is now all profit as I used sales of seats to pay off the PSLs)

 

I've watched bills games for free for three years, and made good coin selling off the psl's.  Sounds like an investment with added benifits to me.

 

And for those who say i'll just go to 2-3 games a year - FACE VALUE price on ticketmaster for the worst seat in the house for the KC game is $356.00.

 

I think it's a pretty decent investment as a bills fan.

You lost me at selling PSL at a 25% markup….😂

Perhaps he meant he would be able to sell them for 25% of what he originally paid.

My seats will be a 1k-1.5K PSL.  I sit in the upper corners, and I love it there. 

 

Each of those seats in the new stadium are going to be gobbled up, if not by actual season ticket members who attend games like myself, brokers will grab them.  The average ticket price for my seat is $80 a game, and the Bills are selling a seat right behind my row for the KC game for $356 dollars.  All I have to do this year is sell the BALT and KC game, this year, and my seasons are paid for, and I attend 7 games for nothing.  Sell a few more over the next 3 years, paid off PSLs.  

 

For someone who goes to lots of games, loves the tailgate, and couldn't care less where they sit (like me), it's a no brainer to pay those PSLs.  I think in 2-3 years I could transfer my seasons and get the 1K/seat PSL back.

 

Now - the expensive lower bowl or clubs, not the same thing.  Comparing apples and oranges.  Anyone who paid 50K for a PSL, ya, you're not worrying about selling those down the road, and if you are, then good luck to you.

No it's not. 

An investment implies the earning of profit. 

 

I don't expect to make it back.

Idk if anyone should expect to get the initial cost of a PSL back a few years down the road, let alone more 

 

But if you like going to games, a $1k-$1.5k PSL in which you can pay off over 18 months interest free isnt terrible

That’s where I’m at. I never thought about the ROI on it. I thought, “what is a better use of money while living in Buffalo?” The Bills are something that I spend my money on, and never regret it. My brother and I each have 2. I have a little boy on the way just after Thanksgiving and he had one born 4 weeks ago. We will be able to bring these little boys up like we were.

Honestly? I agree with ya.

1500 bucks is a day at Disney for a family of 4. That's worth it for 30 years of fun.

*ignoring ticket price raises of course

It won’t be long before people will be saying “These season tix cost me more than my 30-year PSL!”

I expected PSLs for at least 10 years and saved up for them. So it was money already earmarked.

Wrong. If I invest my time in my kids, I'm not looking for profit I'm looking for their betterment. If I invest my heart into my marriage, I'm looking to better our relatinship.

 

But thanks for the 99% opinion Mr. Main Character. lol

 

Exactly. But trust him, he speaks for the 99%. He knows. He's Einstein LOL

 

 

 

He was literally speaking of finances.  You've completely jumped into the bushes.
