I know these are the way of life for quite some time but I can't help but to feel these are the ultimate slap in the face. Billionaires come to taxpayers to fund much of their stadiums, then insult them and make them pay huge sums just to have the right to buy season tickets. How can this be ? I keep reading on this board that Pegula is the billionaire with a heart of gold. Clearly there is some serious misinformation going around!! 2 Quote

No, no they won't. Did you forget about Toronto which is bigger, more affluent, and more sports inclined than LA? As long as the team keeps winning, they won't have any problem selling out. It will just be different people in the stands. 1 Quote
DasNootz Posted March 27 Posted March 27 CPA question - is the PSL deductible for a business… or is the purchase price just the cost basis for when it’s sold later? 1 Quote
papazoid Posted March 27 Posted March 27 (edited) initial cost estimate of new stadium $1.4 Billion current cost estimate of new stadium $1.7 Billion likely final cost estimate of new stadium $2.0 Billion NY State Contribution $600 million (not part of "construction costs" is an additional $280 million for maintenance over 30 years) NFL & Bills Contribution $550 million (Pegula's portion is $350 million) Erie County Contribution $250 million SUB TOTAL Contribution $1.4 Billion Pegulas are responsible for any and all cost over runs....currently at $300 million and rising. Projected to raise $200 million in PSL's so, if you factor in cost over runs....i say he will contribute $800 million or 40% Edited March 27 by papazoid 1 Quote

I never understood why you need to pay for the right to pay for something else. It's the dumbest scam in the sports world, and it's shame that so many fans proved to owners this works. Hopefully it fails miserably in Buffalo, and PSL prices will be significantly reduced. But if that happens, all the people who paid the $15k - $50k for their PSLs will be losing out huge in their investment. Wish the state money used to fund the stadium came with the stipulation that ownership could not charge for PSLs, otherwise they would have to reimburse the taxpayer funding. If a person owning a PSL does not buy the season tickets they forfeit their PSL license. The team is then able to sell the PSL again. In the interim the team can sell the individual game tickets through their regular channels. PSL holders do have the option to sell their PSL to someone else at whatever price they can get for it. However, what tends to happen is that a large number of PSLs become available when a team goes through a multiple season losing streak. The PSL for less desirable seats don’t sell for much - or at all - and the holders have to decide between continuing to buy season tickets for a bad team or simply giving up their PSL for nothing or next to nothing.

strive_for_five_guy Posted March 27 Posted March 27 To make sure I’m clear, a PSL becomes a personal asset, correct? So if one decides to spend the money, it is sellable someday, if one also chooses? And the value could potentially increase? 1 Quote

I happen to know someone that knows someone that works for FedEx in the Philly area and has access to their Eagles season tickets. He has multiple seats in multiple areas in the stadium. He was telling me even though he gives the tickets to his clients, the clients don't always use them. The seats he uses are in one of their club areas, because from there he can see the other seats/tickets he's given out and make notes on which clients actually come out to a game. 2 Quote

Exactly right. Imagine the resale value of a PSL during the drought. Would be lucky to get a basket of chicken wings for them. 1 Quote

It’s an asset that would require the holder to buy season tickets every season. That’s a big caveat. Look around and see how many are on the market for more than what they originally sold for. Not many people choose to sell their PSLs during good times. A glut of available PSLs would happen during a prolonged bad run though. edited to add: I’ll guarantee that the team will charge a fee for and/or take a cut of any PSL transfer transactions Edited March 27 by BarleyNY Quote
