Exactly! Get the fear in you that you will miss out so you buy. Again, I got section 409 which is the "best" section in that price point and 1st row. Logic would dictate everyone else would start in this section and move then to 408,407 etc... so the fact that I am in 409(even though I was told not many more row 1s left) means to me that there was probably another 3 sections in my area of 1st row seats. I am waiting for the first person on this forum to tell me something like "all the 1st rows in all 500 or 400 are gone" or something. Then we really get an idea how things are looking. But for now, we are all just squeezing in somehow...

A year and a half to go for sales, so we have a VERY long way to go. More sold now is better for the rest of us PSL holders.

I am bummed that us common folk do not get rights to 3rd party events in the stadium though. Only premium seats. It is Stan's stadium... thought that would be a benefit for the Rams tix is that we would get the 3rd party things. Oh well.

The reason chargers are having a hard time selling at stubhub center is because it is extremely pricey. I signed up for those tickets and cheapest at my turn was 1200+ per season. Doesnt seem too insane but comparing it to rams at colosseum with cheapest 360. Regardless there is a small fan base for chargers even when it was at SD, most of the stadium was full of opposing team not the local.

I have a chance to get front row in the 2k level right now on top of my current tickets i got in 450 row 1. Only thing holding me back is exactly what you brought up. I dont know if the rest of the stadium will sell out in psl’s, if there is a chunk left over then yes we are the suckers. But i feel most upper sections will be taken by the later waves.

I got 4 seats already and i got my buddy in for 2 seats next to me so not sure if I want to be greedy and inherit 4 more seats

See I don’t think the Chargers pricing is the problem at all. Take away the worst 60,000 seats in the Colosseum. Sell the rest. That’s what they are doing.

Now you’re ultimately right, people aren’t willing to pay the face value on the tickets to see the Chargers - the pricing is wrong. But if you compare the prices they are charging for the quality of seat, they aren’t that bad. Maybe high for a non LA market, but really, NFL 100-level tickets ain’t cheap and that’s almost the entire Chargers inventory

But you’re talking a solid team in the Los Angeles market playing in a really fun stadium (way way better experience than the Rams current situation)... and they are drawing a little more than HALF of what the Bengals do.

And it’s not like their %to capacity is that good either... of course the Rams are the worst in that department in the league due to the cavern they play in.

Good news is Rams attendance seems to be trending up, and as the rest of the city wakes up to the Rams being a Super Bowl contender and playing a very exciting and fun brand of football, it should mean attendance continues to grow. This is also good news for PSL sales.

I just got my email to select seats, but I'm not sure I'm going to buy anymore. Might just pay the premium to attend 1-2 games a season instead of forking out $ on the SSL.

To those interested, here's what's left on the west side of the stadium (I was only interested in this side due to the shade) in the $4k price range:

Section 318 - 7th row
Section 411 - 4th row
Section 418 - 3rd row

Some outliers bc I wanted to know what's available in other sections:
Section 448 - 2nd row
Section 214 - 15th row

347 is up to row 6, at least on the side closest to the next price break.

There’s 9 rows in that section.

I'm curious in this shade vs sunny side factor. Has anyone actually asked a rep how that will factor in? I'm just curious because I'm wondering if the depth of the bowl, the roof, and even the massive support pillars will have an impact on how much direct sunlight actually rests on the field/crowd? I have to think someone somewhere was smart enough to ask this question when deciding which side of the field would be the Rams side? Like, why would the
team/owner paying for the stadium actively choose to disadvantage their ticket holders? Seems like such a common sense thing.

Interesting. It is a balance. For example, lets say, like the Chargers, very few PSLs are sold. Then what is the point of the PSL if I can go and just buy basically the same ticket each game and not have to fork over the money for a PSL that probably wont be worth much in the future anyway? That is why, now that I bought a PSL, I hope they have huge demand!
In other words, I have paid $6k for the PSL, plus the ticket cost. When I sit down and some guys sit next to me and say they just paid for the tickets below face, it really screws the PSL holders.
I think that is one of the big reasons they do NOT let the public see the actual stadium seat map for PSLs. They do not want show their hand on how many are left. For all I know, I just snagged the last good PSL OR I am the only sucker who bought one...
I did notice that the PSL says that it gives you the right to this stadium or ANY other stadium in the LA area... sorta vague but.......
now that the Clippers may get their own stadium next door, maybe the Chargers can move in with them =) Old San Diego friends you know.

For the 49ers, they build the SSL cost into the single game ticket price. So, if a club seat ticket with an SSL costs $325, the 49ers might charge $525 for the single game ticket.

I guess with what's be done by not showing the sold SSL's it's impossible to know, but I still have to wonder if the Chargers have sold any?

The Chargers have not started selling premier or reserved seats, as far as I know, and I'm currently a season ticket holder at Stubhub (this will be my last year). They did start selling club seats.

I have to think those sales have been super slow and difficult, and I also wonder if based on the LA reaction to them (or lacktherof) the Chargers are re-evaluating the move... or just hoping the team does well enough this year to garner attention.

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking.
So if they cant chip in enough that would diminish their worth in the deal with ESK. Part of their PSL revenue was supposed to go towards stadium construction iirc.

Grubman's announcement the other day about a current team in play for SD has me wondering if its actually the Chargers.

Perhaps ESK will let him have the Mighty 1090 back as an incentive so that Spandex can go home and save his own rump..

Has a city ever been awarded a NFL franchise and wanted to send them back where they came from?

This was a HUGE factor in my decision. We wanted to be on the home side, East side, but was concerned with the sun being in our faces during the early to late part of the afternoon. I asked my rep lots of questions about the UV roofing material. His response was basicly that it will dramatically cut down UV rays and radiant heat, and direct light. I was still concerned. Then while playing with the virtual venue I realized that if everything is to scale and fairly accurate we should be ok. When tilting the seat view camera up towards the roof from my seats the Occular is blocking the western half of the stadium roof almost completely. Now, in the section below us, 200, it might be a problem. I guess we will see. Lots of materials to block the sun quite a bit. For example, at the coliseum we are row 5. Sept day games were brutal with the sun at our back. But that one 10 min period when the sun ducked behind the crane arm it was sheer relief...LOL. There must be some logic, hopefully, that they would make the East side the home side.
