In the famous words of Boston, "I'm not touching this one with a 10 foot pole!"

Well maybe...but I'll wait. Lol!

Putting aside the normal pandemic drama, I wonder how this is legal. Class-action lawsuit?

I'd be willing to bet they vetted the idea prior to making the announcement. The good news is that after years and years on the waiting list for season tickets we may actually have a chance.

Probably in the fine print of the season ticket agreement that the team has the authority as well. Doesn’t mean there won’t be a lawsuit though.

Possibly. I have never had season tickets to anything in my life, just seems like they are moving the goalposts, pardon the pun.

We had season tickets to both years of the Canadian Football League franchise, Shreveport Pirates. Been on the Saints waiting list for about 15 years. They had the lottery for available ticket last week and we got passed over again.

People sue all the time, but only a tiny percentage ever makes it into the system due to lack of grounds. I wish they'd let people opt out if they agree to withdraw their future rights to season tickets. There's 50,000 of us out here that would gladly buy those rights.

Most don't make it to court due to settlements which are rarely disclosed due to NDAs and typically benefit both parties.

I am sure there is language in the contract agreement when season tickets were bought/sold, but either way the next few years will be full of litigation for many different reasons.

Great time to be a lawyer.
