deeshopper Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Does anyone remember the year the wait list started? I can't find the information anywhere. I am trying to calculate how much I've paid into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 What's the Wait List? These guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunno Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/PSL-Wait-List-Sold-Out-Marketplace-Expanded/2FFC6ADE-CB43-4E7B-A325-1B07261ADAC3 I think the interesting quote in that article is Ravens Permanent Seat Licenses reached sold-out status four years ago, but as more fans inquired about purchasing season tickets, the Ravens created The List to give those interested the opportunity to buy PSLs directly from the Ravens as they became available. The article was posted on Aug 20, 2008 so that would put it in place for the 2004 season maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightman Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The List only moves when either someone does not pay his season tickets within a reasonable amount of time or a PSL owner gets two strikes on the behavior of the people using their tickets and loses their PSLs. I love the Ravens as much as any other fan here, but this is a bad waiting list concept, making people pay money each year for a waiting list that moves only about 500 or less spots a year. I would rather pay a premium for PSLs or wait till the Ravens have a few losing seasons and get them for a lower price. I think the wait if you are on the bottom of the list takes about 20 to 30 years, unless you buy a higher spot. I also heard a rumor that Art Modell has some financial problems around the last 90's or early 2000's and had to sell PSLs to various ticket brokers in a bulk purchase at a discount to raise funds, thus another reason why PSLs are sold out and there is "The List".

deeshopper Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm pretty sure I joined in 2005. That's when I started working down in Baltimore. I need to call them to find out. I'm in the 600 range. My spot didn't move at all this year; first time that has happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I'm glad Bisciotti is the owner now, although I thank Art for moving the team to Baltimore and I still think he should be enshrined in Canton, he still had financial problems. I think it was Steve's influx of money as a minority partner that helped get us from being an 8-8 team in 1999 to winning the Super Bowl in 2000.
