My friend has 2 psl's in sec 317 row 19. they are the endzone sideline. He is asking $1950 per seat($3900 + $200 transfer fee). i want the tix but dont want to spend the money if these are terrible views. they seem like they are high up. any input would be helpfull.
This mark-up is pretty standard, your only choice would be to wait until March 2011 and see if you can get a cheaper upper deck psl on the open market.
As of not too long ago, the Giants were still offering lower end zone psl's for 5K each, if you can afford the extra 6K, that would be a better seat.
4100 / 10 games
410
410 / 30 years = $13.67 extra per game or $6.83 per ticket.
If you are a huge fan I doubt $6.83 extra is too much to ask for this opportunity. I think that is what they charged me for a slice of pizza at the lacrosse event hosted there.
Get the tickets - skip the snackbar
For example (this is completely made up and not based on anything I have heard, merely an example of a potential complication), the Giants could require that the money be exchanged via a Giants online "transfer site". If so, they could also require that PSLs can't be sold below "face" value. So if you already paid for the PSLs, then in order to transfer you may be required to transfer money again to the owner. Which, then the owner could refund to you(since you already paid), or not. Any contract written up now won't be able to include these specifics b/c no one knows the transfer details yet.
Once again, the above example is not based on anything I have heard nor seen, merely something that popped into my head as a potential complication.
Many people have already drawn up contracts for PSLs, but I'd be wary w/o knowing the details.
As far as the "friend" comment that someone else made.... the PSLs are a business transaction. Why should the friend sell it for face if he can get more? I paid a lot of money for my PSLs and if the day comes when I want to sell them, you can bet they are going to the highest bidder regardless as to whether a friend wants to pay my original cost. Meanwhile, I will take that friend to games and he/she will either go for free or pay face value.
zasw1, buy the PSLs....you can always sell them again one day if you do not like the seats. You can always potentially move to another location too. Just get your foot in the door. Most if not all of the upper level seats were sold out before the lower due to the lower prices.
Uh, because he's your friend.
Not to mention, if you contact the Giants directly, you might be able to invest in your own PSL's.
