I have no intention of ever paying for a PSL in any sport. Football included. Paying for the right to buy seats? And hoping that the PSL later has value so I can sell it? No thanks. That's a sucker's game.
I agree with you.

I didnot mean to criticize nyra, just make a point that seats there are already priced higher with result being empty midweek seats because non regulars won't pay the raised prices, the weekends they will pay. They probably cannot sqeeze the lemon any more. PSL = no go.

PSL's for Saratoga. Great idea. Next, let's ban coolers and get rid of the horsepath through the backyard.
