Personal Seat Licenses
If you haven't heard the term personal seat licenses (PSLs) lately, you probably aren't a New York Giants season ticket holder. Once the Giants new stadium is opened in 2010, season ticket holders must buy these PSLs or give up their season tickets. The great thing about the PSLs is that they cost anywhere from $1,000 to $20,000, and then you have to pay for the tickets. This will help the Giants raise over $370 million to help pay for the stadium, or so they say. Let's face it, the Giants have the money to just pay for the stupid stadium, they just want to bleed their fans of any extra money they might be willing to spend. And if current season ticket holders don't want to spend the money, they have over 100,000 people on a waiting list that will probably be more than happy to fork over the money. I have never liked the Giants, but I always thought they were above this kind of thing. They become the 15th team in the NFL to have PSLs. And guess what Jet fans, it will be your turn next. The Giants may as well sell the naming rights to Giants Stadium too. Maybe they could call it Preparation H Stadium because the fans will have to dig so far into their wallet they're going to have a big pain in the ass.

Supply and demand my brother; supply and demand!!!
Plus let's face the facts. New Yorkers/New Jersians love spending money and crap like this anyway. A company (another example) may feel it is more important to give away 2tickets to a Giants game then to give a $1,000 bonus for great work.
I say give me the money; if I want to go to a game I will buy the tickets myself.
By the way, I would love that job... come up with ways to steal people's money at games.
