PSL Questions

[I Bleed Purple]

Hey all I finally took my first step toward becoming a psl owner...What are the benefits the cost and the wait times for any of you that have joined in the last year or two? Do I take the first tickets they offer do i wait for better ones? what is the cost of psls the cost of season tix and parking passes do you get dibs on a parking pass if you have a season ticket?

confused but hopeful

thanx for your help

About being offered tickets, it depends on where you are on the list. Those who just joined the list can expect to wait 15 years before they are called.

The benefits of having PSLs is you get your seats at face value, you can also buy single game tickets in a lottery before the general public. You also get your seats for the playoffs if the Ravens qualify. You also get to pay your season tickets in two payments. You only get parking if you are a club seat holder. Otherwise there is a waiting list for the stadium operated lots.

There is a website that shows the PSL pricing it is PSLRavens on that site also sell PSLs on the open market.

Where did you get the 15 year figure from? I was under the belief that general advice from the Ravens was 3-5 years.

I Bleed Purple - as Nightman said, benefits are guaranteed seats for every game, including playoffs and all tickets at face value. As pointed out, parking is extra and most lots have a waiting list (although I believe Lot O may still have available spaces).

According from what I've heard from the Ravens that PSLs usually turn over about 1 per cent of Stadium Capacity every year or an average of 600-700 seats. That would mean the person at the bottom of the closed list of 3,000 people may take about 5 years as a rough estimate although considering most people on the list want more that 1 seat it may take a little longer than that. The Ravens are closing their waiting list at 3,000 and will open it once people come off of it next year.

I apologize for the 15 year figure, I got it from a person trying to sell their PSLs on EBay as a sales tatic.

I saw some prices on e-bay for PSL's that would pay for my kids college education. I can not believe people would spend 50,000 dollars for a pair of upper deck PSL's!

You can add 2 more in October without losing your place in line. You must be close to number 3000. I'm someting like 2200. Got on the list last year.

[RavenFanatic]

Just spoke to the ticket office. Was told about 15 years. Only about 15 slots left.

3000 is only the member limit. Each member can request up to 6 tickets. If you requested and paid a deposit of $50 per seat for 2 tickets you can still add an additional 4 tickets during the invoicing period which is every October and you will not lose your place in line. 6 tickets is the maximum per account.

Theoretically, the waiting list can have up to 18000 seats on it (3000 * 6). Ouch!

15 years sounds about right. I mean the onlly reason the list moved 2 years ago was the Ravens added seats in the upper deck corners and moved the band. They added i think like 1,000-1500 seats. so that moved the list along then. But there really isnt anymore room to add seats.

The reason the list wont move is the only way the Ravens can move the list along now is if they get PSL's back. This would only happen if a psl holder didnt pay his invoice. With the value they are getting psl holders are going to sell them on the open market before letting the ravens just have them.

$50k for 2 upper deck seats??? Remember there is a huge difference in ASKING price and ACTUAL sold price!

If you go to the ravens psl marketplace it shows the psl's that have sold, upper deck ranged from $1000-5700 per seat.

No way man, dont waste your time waiting for your name to come up, i just discovered ravens psl marketplace and i found exactly what i wanted in no time! Plus the best part is, i went on ebay, and you guys are right, some people want upwards of 50 grand for pretty good seats. I got 2 really great seats for less than a quarter of that!!! Plus, there is no guess work since the ravens handle the whole transaction stress an scam free!!! If you want great tickets now, go to the ravens psl market place, and stop waiting, grab yours today!

I've been on the waitlist for 3 and 1/2 years. I am currently #59, not sure if I'll have my seats this year or next, but I think I was around 200 at the end of last season. When I spoke with the Ravens ticket office, they weren't entirely positive that I would have my tickets this year because when the team has a good season fewer people are willing to give up their seats.

[I Bleed Purple]

ok so i got my list instructions in the mail and im number 2990 on the 3000 person list...well maybe my grandkids will get psls for themselves lol

[judge]

Not only do a handful of PSLs open up each year, but people must also drop off the list. When i joined the list last year I was around 2900, this year after I got notice of where I moved up, I was near 2500. I moved up 400 spots in one year. I am assuming that I will move up more after this stellar year, but do not expect to get tickets next year at all.
