PSL

Some dude is suing over these ridiculous, surely illegal PSLs the fucking Giants and Jets are putting over on their fans. There's no way he'll win but I'll be rooting for him.

But the minimal amount of outrage over these has made me think that the tickets are going to the uber-rich, who don't seem to care how much they're paying to sit in freezing weather having beer poured on them and, to make it even worse, watching the Jets. So I'm thinking if you have the onions to charge these PSLs, why not go all the way? Why not charge even more? Obviously they're dealing with the sort of people that won't pay $1 for something if they can spend $1000 for it.

"Hi, I'm Pam, calling from the NY Jets about your season tickets."
"Great!"
"Four tickets, 8 games, for this year, that'll be $116k."
"Great!"
"And then the fee for my call, another $30k"
"Awesome!"
"Do you want to get attacked by monkeys during the game?"
"No."
"Okay, that'll be another $70k."
"YES!"
"Now, do you actually want to be able to face the field and see the game?"
Yes."
"That's $80k."
"Great!"
"Okay, so that's a total of $296k for this year, let's go ahead and multiply that by 3 and add $14k, and that's a total of $902,000 for this year's tickets. Thank you and enjoy the season."
"J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS!!!!!"
