What are Personal Seat Licenses (PSL)?

A Personal Seat License (PSL) allows the holder to purchase season tickets for a certain seat in a stadium. Personal Seat Rights can be sold on the open market when the holder decides they no longer wish to purchase season tickets. If the seller chooses not to sell the PSL and not to renew their season tickets, they forfeit the license back to the team. Most licenses are only valid for the period of time in which a team plays in a particular stadium.

So what exactly is a seat right, and how does it differ from a PSL?

Seat rights are very similar to PSLs except there is no inheriant ownership involved. The team in question simply allows a person to transfer their seats to another party. All the other characteristics apply.
