More tarp covered stadiums

The blackout policy, however, poses another hurdle for teams. Many clubs that struggle to sell out in the days before a home game frequently cut deals with sponsors to sell the tickets for less than face value. Often, the team itself buys the tickets back for less than face value to ensure that the game is televised locally.

The club is still required to pay the visiting team’s share back to the league, though. That amount is 34 percent of face value.

One team source suggested this was a problem for many teams. Also, this source said, for teams with personal seat license holders, selling highly discounted tickets creates appearance issues with the fans who spent significant sums for their seats.

Hmm.

For PSL owners it is more than an appearance problem. Nothing pisses me off more than opposing fans flooding the stadium with discount tickets paying 30% of what the PSL owners paid. Or folks bragging about how they got the same level seat I did for 5 bucks. Sure I don't blame them for doing it, but it still pisses me off.:mad:
