PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion

[Chicharito]

Here is my concern with the PSL. Let’s just say in 7 years I can no longer physically go to a game and Josh isn’t the QB.   we are what the jets have been for the last decade. I will never see my full return on my investment. That’s what is scaring me away.

So about 9% of available seating committed to in about 9 months? At this rate how will they get the entire stadium sold before opening day?

 

I knew they were in trouble when Pete said the sales rate was down to 60% or so.

 

Losing 40% of your customer base means you have to go through a lot more sales sessions to break even.

It’s not an investment, it’s “pay to play”.

I may have asked this before, not positive, but..
 

1 PSL = 1 seat, correct?

Correct

Thanks.  So, they’ve sold about 10% of the seats in a tad less than 20% of the timeframe that they have to sell them before the new stadium opens.  

 

However, two things:

 

1.). The “cheap” PSLs will ppen up fairly soon

 

2.). Not all 61,000 of the seats are going to be allotted for STHers, so it’s probably more like 15 - 18% of PSL seats, not 10%

I thought all seats were going to come with a PSL? Only standing room wouldn't have them.

I thought I had read that a small percentage were going to be held back for single-game sales to the general public, but I could be wrong on that.

I think by regulations they have to leave a small percentage of tickets available to the rest of the public and away fans

Wouldn’t it be 10% of the seats in 30% of the time they have to sell them?

 

March 15 2024 - July 1 2026 (opening date) = 119 weeks.

 

It has been 36 weeks since March 15th.

 

That’s 30%.

good point, I thought it was more like late May that they started the process, just going off of (my failing) memory  🤪
