My understanding is PSLs have been really hard to sell

They are basically dookie flavored lollipops at this point. They exist but it's really hard to get rid of them. I wonder if you could even sell them at almost free prices at this point. Bad team, an owner publicly campaigning for a new stadium and Rona fugging up everything is a kiss of death for any value from PSLs. The last window for a possible sale probably came from the seat taking earlier this offseason.

You’re better off just buying individual games on one of the resale websites. A guy I know had all the major sports tickets here in Boston (Pats, Celtics, Bruins and Red Sox) for business and was telling me about how he calculated out that he could’ve bought the same number of tickets in the same sections for every single game for like 2/3 the total price he was paying for the season tickets if he just bought them individually resale. Bruins and Celtics were especially a rip-off because a lot of the money he was paying was for “membership” not the tickets themselves so not only were tickets often available for less than face value resale (and with successful teams....) but he was paying a premium on top of that pretty much just to ensure he got the same seats every game.... I couldn’t believe it especially with the insane fees that the resale websites charge. He wound up only keeping the Pats tickets since it’s so hard to get season tickets for them (though I anticipate that’ll change soon when they suck again).

That’s why I’ve never bought season tickets. I’ve never had the availability to attend enough games to justify the cost, but moreover, I’d rather pay a premium and just ball out at a few every year.

Yep, at this point, they're pretty worthless, except for the cool sticker you get every year, I guess.  I'm lucky in that I inherited mine, but when Tepper builds a new stadium, I won't be lining up to buy more.  At this point, I'm good going to 1 or 2 games a year.

    • Is right now the worst time in the history of Charlotte pro sports? The Hornets (formerly Bobcats) have been a dumpster fire since rejoining the NBA 20 years ago. The Panthers were a respectable but frustrating team before David Tepper bought the team, but now they are easily the worst team in the NFL. Charlotte only has 2 sports teams so it's unfair to compare to every other city in the country with a Big 4 pro sports team, because when you have all 4 of even 3, you tend to have one franchise that ends up being successful. If we're taking into account the Hurricanes and ranking NC's pro sports teams as a whole, the Hurricanes make everything look better in NC pro sports. But just taking into account cities with an NFL and NBA team, and excluding their respective NHL and MLB teams, in the last 5 years, Charlotte easily takes the crown for the worst city for pro sports. The only other city coming close is Detroit since the Pistons have been awful, but the Lions were in the NFC Championship last year and should probably have made it to the Superbowl if it weren't for some questionable coaching decisions. Indianapolis could be mentioned because the Colts and Pacers have had a somewhat rough go the last 5 years, but both the Colts and Pacers have had more recent success than either the Panthers or Hornets. Sadly enough I think the Panthers have a better shot at success than the Hornets since the NBA is structured more towards star player driven success and the NFL is a team driven sport where there is more parity year to year. But I'm fairly confident this level of misery will continue for some time. 
    • This seemed to be what the Teppers wanted, as Stroud hit the ground running and the Texans became his team almost day one. I hope Bryce's play starts to speak for itself if he isn't very vocal, because it does make a difference. I mean, Cam had to jack up Josh Norman who was a fifth round pick in the coach's doghouse in year five! I wonder what Bryce would do in a situation like that. Thank goodness there was no Steve Smith here when he was drafted!
