PSL'S=Royal pain in the wallet

It’s amazing: Sports continues to be the candy store of American society, yet like gas and food prices, the average person continues to be pushed AWAY from sports.

Let’s reference the Giants and Jets, who have made it known that they will charge Personal Seat Licenses just so fans can reserve the right to buy season tickets. They’ll be up to 5,000 seats in the new stadium at the Meadowlands where Big Blue fans will have to pay a whopping $20,000 ON TOP of the high priced season tickets. There are people in this country that don’t even EARN that much in a calendar year.

This stuff is wrong-totally unfair to the consumer. Hard to imagine, this is WORSE than what the Mets do with their “Game Category” tickets, where they set the ticket prices based on the team they play. Example: The WORST seat in the upper deck for the recently completed Yankees series cost $35 dollars in the Platinum category. Those same seats for the Pirates and Nationals-the only games in the ‘Value’ category (12 total) cost $5 a piece. I guess this means that if those two teams play better this year, their games will cost more in 2009.

A game is a game-go or don’t go. Pay for tickets-regardless of sport-no tax or PSL allowed. Otherwise, I can always watch the games on TV.
