This is a huge article, so I'm going to put in the next post.

EDIT: The article is just way too big. Feel free to click the link.

Gots to get paid.

Then so is Robert Kraft:

The New England Patriots have sued multiyear premium ticket holders. A Chicago Bears spokesman said, "In rare instances, we have sued."

Officials with the Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers and Indianapolis Colts declined to comment on the query. Other teams did not respond.

Nice of you guys to actually READ THE ****ING ARTICLE.

In the Redskins case, there are 20,000 PREMIUM SEAT CONTRACTS. If people sign a guaranteed contract, they must pay. Afterall, it IS a contract.

Furthermore, the Redskins have said that they have settled with nearly everyone who backed out of their contract.

----------------------------------------------------------

When Companies Default

About a dozen companies bailed out on their luxury skybox leases in the past year, and the cases stand out from the premium ticket holder lawsuits in both size and nature.

The companies include a lobbying firm that went out of business, a telecommunications firm and a Shenandoah coffee roaster owned by a man indicted on charges that he ran a multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme. The Redskins have won $8 million in judgments in eight cases.

Only one defendant is mounting a significant defense: Atlantic Transportation Equipment Ltd., a Maryland bus-maintenance company that rented a 30-seat skybox suite for $149,000 annually to entertain clients and employees. The six-year contract was due to expire next year, and the Redskins sued for the final two seasons, or $269,000 after deducting the deposit.

So, is anyone going to tell me that if a corporation signs a contract, they should be allowed to default at anytime?

JFC.

Yeah Kraft is too...anyone who does this is.

So it was a contract, whatever. These rich ****s don't need the money and if people lose their jobs, I would think they'd understand.

Sorry to correct you but it's not "long story short".

There are corporate entities involved along with an actual contract. Most of the people settled although many had a judgment against them because they failed to appear in court.

And once again, this is common practice across the NFL.

Do you think that for one second Clark Hunt will just waive off contracts on suites and Premium seats to the wealthy and corporations? Jerry Jones? Ha!

Just like the bank that services your mortgage?

I mean, they're rich. I'm sure they'll understand if you lose your job and quit honoring the contract.

Dude, when corporations fail to honor their contracts, there are consequences.

If you're going to commit to a 10-year Premium Seat, then you'd better have the money for it.

Do you understand the economics in D.C.? That stadium has been sold out FOREVER. Those seats are at a premium. Why do you think they created a 10 year contract to begin with?

I swear to ****ing God, half the people that post on Chiefsplanet must have absolutely NO understanding of finance and economics at they relate to sport franchises.

I was understanding it was individuals, not corporations...was too lazy to read the article lol.

Still find it hard to care about Snyder even if he is getting bent over.

"Your Honor, Dan Snyder is a douchebag, therefore I no longer feel it's necessary to honor the 10 year contract I signed with him."

Sounds like a good defense to me and seeing as how ****ed are justice system is, it might work.

There are individuals involved but in most cases, people just didn't feel like paying anymore and cited "the economy".

You know what's really ****ing stupid? These people could put those tickets on eBay or Stubhub and make a profit.

Instead, the overwhelming majority of them didn't even show up in court to fight.

That's ****ing stupid.

I get it.

I just think it's ridiculous for teams to offer individuals PSLs and contracts over extended peiods of time.

One or two year contracts with the option to renew should be the max.

These PSLs and long term contracts are eventually going to lead to fewer hardcore fans.
