What will PSL owners do if 2011 is a lockout?

Frank and Buc are talking about this now on WFNZ. God forbid, If there is no season in 2011, what will PSL owners be forced to do? Is there anything in your contracts that speak about issues like this? Will you be forced to buy tickets like they do for the playoffs and then use that money towards the next season?

Sincerely,

I'd imagine if there were to be no games at all (as in no replacement players), and they knew this ahead of time, PSL owners would never be charged for the year. If the lockout came after they paid, they'd be credited.

I'll be beyond pissed if there is no season in 2011. Panthers games are one of my highlights of the year.

They will not lock out until the last possible hour, so tickets will likely have been purchased by that time. A refund seems appropriate if a lockout happens but is it realistic? You don't get a refund if we don't make the playoffs. They just deduct it from next years bill. Should be interesting to see what happens. I sure as hell hope we don't have to find out though.

Yeah, I hope they get another contract signed soon. I don't think anyone would benefit from the loss of a football season. This is really a pivotal point for Goodell's leadership. Make or break type stuff.

And after doing some research on the current regime running the Player's Association, a lockout sounds very possible (the head of the organization is a lawyer with activist ties... not a former player... so I'd bet he's just running numbers to be greedy... not looking out for the best interests of the sport.)

Wouldn't it suck if the NFL suffered some sort of collapse from this?

Yeah but the playoff bill comes in December and the next season's bill is due in April. That's only a couple of months. They can't hold people's money for over a year like that.

There must be some legal action to take if this ends up being the case.

The Prob will give you a credit on the next year. I think thats how they do with playoff tickets.

There's a big price difference in playoff tickets and season tickets. My two season tickets are $1800 currently. Last year, the playoff tickets were around $500 for the two seats for two games. Huge difference to hold hostage.

I'd be interested to hear if they contact you if a lock out seems unavoidable. I am saving up to buy PSLs for the family and it would be nice to see the precedent they set in this situation.

You get a refund on playoff tixs. You don't have to apply it to the following year. I called the year we paid and had no games....and asked for a refund and they refunded my credit card. They can't hold your money if you ask for a refund. They'll tell you it may take 4-6 weeks but you'll get it...they'll get every bit of interest they can. I told the lady that was unacceptable and that if I have to meet deadlines set by them, I shouldn't have to wait 4-6 weeks for money that didn't need to be spent. The refund was issued that week.

First, I do not see a lock out or strike happening. There is still to much time and both sides are not dumb enough to kill all the momentum the league has and piss off their fan base.

That being said, the teams will do as always and bill us for tix. If there are no games they would probably just credit that towards the next season. If their are scab games they better give me a discount!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

      I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
