    The problem is that if I want to sell my PSL's no one is going to buy them. Why would someone pay me the $1000 per seat for the PSL's and then buy tickets, when they can just buy the tickets in another section?

    Also, if I give up the tickets and another PSL owner gets them, that person doesn't have to pay for the new PSL.

    So basically, they are worthless pieces of paper now. Even though they were worth $2000 yesterday

    What aren't you understanding? The entire 100 level is SOLD OUT via PSLs. If you drop your seats- it's a virtual certainty they're going to go to another PSL holder, who incidentally DID pay for a seat license.

    Let me give you a couple practical examples. You're in 149, corner end zone. I'm in 111, 20 yard line sideline. If I ever dropped my seats (of course I never will) think there wouldn't be a stampede from your section to get seat improvement? BTW, we've put in for seat improvement for years, we were only asking for one section over, and 10 rows higher. Trust me, unless you're willing to shell out $10,000 a seat on Craiglist or eBay- in between the 25 yard lines lower deck ain't happening. Those seats literally get handed down in wills.

    If you ever dropped your seats- believe me, there's plenty of folks who own PSL nosebleeds who would be more than happy to move down. Now if you want to grouse that they didn't get upcharged for the move, you have a point.

      That's part of my point. If the new owner of my seats doesn't have to pay more for a better psl then it's wrong. Also there is no guarentee that if someone moves from my section that those seats will be bought by a current psl owner. The sales rep told me so. The Browns should stipulate that if you are a new season ticket buyer and somehow seats become available in a PSL location, the new buyer has to buy the current PSL. AT this point, the new buyer does NOT have to buy the PSL It is TOTALLY unfair for me a PSL owner to sit next to someone who DIDN'T have to buy the PSL.

      Seats have come open in my section every year. I get calls from the Browns asking, all the time, to buy them. Now, if I take them up on this offer, will I have to buy the PSL for those seats? I thought about buying 2 more seats in my section last year, and I would've had to buy the PSL for those seats, now I don't? If not then it's not fair to others in the same section to have to sit next to me if I didn't have to buy a PSL for those seats, like they did. And like I did back in 1999.

        Larry, what aren't you understanding? PSL's have been sold all over the stadium. In many of those situations you aren't going to have other PSL owners swooping in.....why should I buy your PSLs when I can sit for free (no PSL) a few rows higher or a section over? There is more to the stadium than section 100 if you didn't know that.

        If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

          Look I said before, but for those with psl's not in the bottom levels you're right. Unfortunately that's just life sometimes. I mean think about people like my brother who bought homes in 2007. He paid peak market price at almost 250k. Now the EXACT same house in the same neighborhood is around 150-170k. Of course it sucks but does that mean the realtors should try and sell at a price no one will buy?

          That same brother just bought psl's for the panthers. They told him at the beginning this is a sunk cost and has no value. It's a risk everyone ran when you bought tickets.

            As I understand it, the PSLs were sold initially to help with the owners cost to construct the Stadium.

            I personally never did nor ever would pay for a PSL....but that is because I have only gone to a few games live over the years. I learned early on that the best seat in the house was the one in my house, not Al and Randy Lerners house.

            Nevertheless I sympathize with all of you who laid out these bucks. I don't know how many PSL owners there are, but in my view all of you who did buy them should have an exclusive place in the stadium that are the best seats and that only you can sit in. You should all be granted an upgrade to club seat level or something for only the extra cost of the tickets.

                Well I'm in one of the lower levels, but I still don't think it's right for the rest of the PSL owners who aren't. Are the Browns going to notify every PSL owner of seats that open up on the lower level? How are they going to determine who gets those seats?

                If it's being discussed on all of the boards, ther must be alot of people that don't like the decision. That's the last thing new management should want to do......piss off the people who have supported their lowsy product for so many years. Maybe Kevin Costner can talk them out of it.

                  No doubt. Make no mistake. I knew all along the PSL's weren't worth a whole heck of a lot. I factored that in when I bought them. I figured if I got 10 years out of them, I was good, and I really feel that way. I don't have to have or count on getting the $3000 back, or even some portion. That is spent money. Anything I get back is simply bonus money....maybe all on Green in Vegas. (That could up the wine selection at a dinner or two)

                  It's more about guys like Dan who had to pay last year, or 2-3 years ago. My worry is I am afraid someone who has a few bucks has already snatched up seats I was wanting to have. Someone who didn't spend a damn dime to support the team a week ago, but today gets to slide in front of me because he/she can walk up to the window so to speak and secure the tickets, and I have to go through a process of seat relocation. That pisses me off.

                  Those of you who know me know I don't cuss much and type it less, but this has me aggravated. I'll wait for the process to unfold before my final feelings are expressed.

                  If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                    I couldn't agree with you more and frankly can't understand why some others don't get it just because they sit in the lower level.

                      i bought 12 seats in 1999, 4 clubs and 8 in my current section. They were discounted because i was a long time season ticketholder before the move, but you can imagine that it was still a lot of cash. Like most, i was hoping the team would be a great success and i would be able to recover my cost some day (or better).

                      Reality set in about 5 years ago when i decided to unload my clubs. i contacted many well-known and lesser-known businesses looking for a buyer. Nobody wanted them. After several months of effort, i ended up turning them back over to the team- PSL lost.

                      i'm down to 6 seats and haven't recovered a dime. The reality is that if there are no buyers, then your PSL isn't worth jack shit. Period. That's the way it is. My net worth in my seats was $0 before the announcement, and remains $0 after the announcement. i am unaffected.

                      If anyone is looking for a silver lining, here it is. When the Browns become a consistent NFL powerhouse and people are falling all over themselves to buy tickets, i'll still be allowed to sell my PSLs at whatever price i'm able to get for them. That is my contractual right, and the Browns have not taken that away. So i've got that to look forward to...... πŸ˜‰

                        When the Browns become a consistent NFL powerhouse and people are falling all over themselves to buy tickets, i'll still be allowed to sell my PSLs at whatever price i'm able to get for them.

                        By then all the people around you will have bought their season tickets WITHOUT PSL's

                          Dude, I'm sorry for you that you haven't caught on to the concept of sarcasm. I even tried to help you out with the wink.

                          That aside, I stand by my comment that my PSLs were worth nothing before this announcement, so this means nothing to me. The bottom line is that the Browns and I entered into a signed contract. Neither of us have violated any parts of that contract. They provided no guarantees, and I knew that when I signed on. So did you (unless you didn't read it).

                              I definitely feel bad for nephew Dan, who just bought in last year for upper level end zone- if he had waited until this year, he could have had the same seats without buying a PSL. If there's ever a case for "I want my money back" that has to be it. πŸ™

                              No doubt. Make no mistake. I knew all along the PSL's weren't worth a whole heck of a lot. I factored that in when I bought them. I figured if I got 10 years out of them, I was good, and I really feel that way. I don't have to have or count on getting the $3000 back, or even some portion. That is spent money. Anything I get back is simply bonus money....maybe all on Green in Vegas. (That could up the wine selection at a dinner or two)

                              It's more about guys like Dan who had to pay last year, or 2-3 years ago. My worry is I am afraid someone who has a few bucks has already snatched up seats I was wanting to have. Someone who didn't spend a damn dime to support the team a week ago, but today gets to slide in front of me because he/she can walk up to the window so to speak and secure the tickets, and I have to go through a process of seat relocation. That pisses me off.

                              Those of you who know me know I don't cuss much and type it less, but this has me aggravated. I'll wait for the process to unfold before my final feelings are expressed.

                                "my PSLs were worth nothing before this announcement"

                                If that statmenet was true, then last week when you looked at season ticket prices, the Browns OFFICIAL website stated PSL's in my section were $1000 per seat?

                                According to the CLEVELAND BROWNS my PSL's were "WORTH" $1000 per seat.

                                  Chill out. That has already happened.

                                  I knew that the PSLs were worthless. I've "sold" a couple seats to others that I know for $0. There have been no independent buyers, so why not "sell" them guys to guys i know.

                                  Reality is a bitch. I learned that years ago when there were no buyers for my clubs. Deal with it.

                                      I don't like the idea of personal seat licenses, but once enacted I don't think the teams can legally and/or arbitrarily do away with them. A personal seat license has monetary value and the purchaser then should have the right to sell that license (per team/league rules/stipulations) in the future. I think all Browns season ticket holders should file a class-action lawsuit against the team's owner to either reinstate the personnel seat license or to recieve compensation for the careless destruction of personal equity.

                                        I disagree with you 100%. You believed your PSL's were worth nothing because the Browns were losing and you could not sell them. You didn't want to keep paying for the tickets each year so you gave them away. Ok that is your decision. Now let's say that the Browns win the division this very year and go to the playoffs....Demand goes up and people want in!!!! The only way they can get in is to buy a PSL. If you still had yours you could now sell them (thus they would have value). But now becuase of the rule change they would have less value because people can just choose to sit elsewhere without having to buy a PSL.

                                        While you and others like to say they have no value due to legal phrasing, they did indeed have a market value, when the market was up. Just like stock. Nobody wants to buy it while it is going down. But once it starts to soar upward they buy in. except now when they buy in they get to buy their stock with no per trade fee like i had to buy mine. Not a perfect example but you understand I am sure.

But now becuase of the rule change they would have less value because people can just choose to sit elsewhere without having to buy a PSL.

                                          While you and others like to say they have no value due to legal phrasing, they did indeed have a market value, when the market was up. Just like stock. Nobody wants to buy it while it is going down. But once it starts to soar upward they buy in. except now when they buy in they get to buy their stock with no per trade fee like i had to buy mine. Not a perfect example but you understand I am sure.

                                          If the Stadium fills this year (as I hope and many on this Board fear) and the team is good, then next year demand may exceed supply. That is what we all need for value to come back. The fact that my licenses have no value has nothing to do with legal phrasing. It has everything to do with supply and demand. This new announcement provides reason for hope (but not much). I'm glad they did this.
