    I’ll give them some credit for doing some things for the PSL holders over the last couple of years… the movie nights, stadium tours, and Titans Tuesday events have all been nice. But they only started doing those when the team started struggling on the field, and more importantly they started struggling to sell tickets. Before that, they didn’t do jack squat for the season ticket holders, apart from sending a token Christmas gift. They took their PSL owners for granted for the first ten plus years they’ve been here, which meant they had little to no good will to fall back on when the team started struggling.

    I know the PSL prices got revised in 2012. We bought ours in 2011 for $300 each. In 2012, after starting to struggle to sell tickets, they dropped the PSL price for our section to $100 each. I couldn’t really complain though, because they also dropped our ticket price from $45 to $25. But the notion they sold Nashville on that the PSLs were always going to increase in value was and is a bunch of crap. No one who has tried to sell their PSL the last couple of years has gotten even face value for theirs. Most ads said they were selling them not only for less than the current price, but less than what the owners paid for them.

    my PSL is worth less than 0 because of the obligation to purchase $450 worth of tickets that are almost impossible to sale.

    forget face value, exhibition games are worthless. Literally have trouble giving them away. the 3 home division games you can probably con a buddy into going with you but good luck selling them for even half value. The remaining 5 are about the same with the exception of big market national teams where you might get face value.

    IMO my $450ish season ticket package could be acquired on the street for $200 or less. probably way less

    They should have escalators and incentives based on team performance.
    Titans win 2 games - they pay you $50 each loss.
    They win 9 or more then full $450 kicks in

    I replied to my sales rep pretty much what was said here. Good luck selling a PSL in my section for what it cost in 1998 and that it was a joke to think it had increased in value.

    Basically, someone bails from my PSL level across the field, I might take a look but anyone upgrading or downgrading is getting the shaft-a-roni.
