The seats that he is considering should be worth 2x or more for those games. If he buys the PSL's at a discount, sells the entire season on StubHub, he should do very well, make enough incremental to help pay down that PSL markedly, then start attending games in 2014.

The math on my seats, so we can see a percentage is this (face value for 4 seats is $500):

Pittsburgh: $1500
Oakland: $1000
New Orleans: $800
Miami: $1000
New England: $1000
Buffalo: $500
Cleveland: $500
Tampa Bay: $600

Total spent: $4,000
Total intake: $6,900

Preseason loss: (-$500)

Net income; +$2,400

A plus of $2,400 on a spend of $5,000 is an increase of 48%, so if he applies that to more expensive seats, there's the potential of this season producing $5,000 or more if going the StubHub route.

Big "if" here is he going to get $350 a ticket for Pittsburgh and $250 a ticket for Miami, Oakland and NE in 129, row 29? Sounds pretty steep to me...
