The man with tickets in Packerland

[packinpatland]

Hey, I'm all for people being able to make non-taxable income. If I could do it then I would. Read the article below. It might make you a little upset that the uber rich do not have to pay taxes or a lower percentage than the middle class. After reading it I do not think you will care that the parking lot lady doesn't pay taxes.

There are alot of things about corporate America that I don't like, but that really is a moot point in this. I'm more concerned about my local community and what this extra income, if reported as sales income could do for our city. I'm all for people being able to make non-taxable income, too. But, why should only some be allotted to this luxury and others aren't?

Because there are some that will always feel more 'entitled' than the common folk.

Do the Feds know about this? I pretty sure it wouldn't be considered "untaxable".

I know that when I got my tickets from a legitimate ticket source, they tacked on state tax...

Yes, as a business they have to report their ticket sales as income, that would make sense. I am referring to people who are cashing in on parking cars on their lawn.

Rastak, you are probably right about the Feds, but our former governor was practically beat up over the fact that he wanted to tax "tradition". He quickly reasserted his thoughts, indicating that it would not have to be reported as taxable income.

Yea, I can see how that wouldn't play well locally. That is alot of money not to claim and the IRS would not be amused. Actually, the IRS is NEVER amused for some reason.

a talk show host was talking today about the person who would catch barry bonds record breaking home run ball. he was wondering if you would have to claim taxes on the ball even if you didn't sell it. he figured it would be similar to winning a car from a contest. kinda sad how we are taxed.

WOW. My accountant brain just won't let me do this.

I go to one game every year for face value plus $10. as my "amortized" portion of the seat license....

Oh, and the tix are front row too.

I'm very spoiled. :P

I've sat in the front row once, I didn't like it at all. You are too close to the field and can't really see what's going on. Although the seats were right behind the visitors bench and we did have some fun taunting the jets when they were in town that game! So I guess it was good for one thing!!

PIP, that is highway robbery. Plus they have the gall to add on a handling fee after all that!!

I agree with you GBM, the I once sat in row 8, and i've sat in row 60 (was the last row, before the renovation). I would much rather sit further back. row sixty was a better seat than the row eight. My usual seats are row 55 in the opposite endzone of the player's tunnel.

I've sat all over that stadium and I can see fine. These seats are just past the packers bench near the replay monitor.

To each his own, I guess, and I'm pretty damn happy!

The cool thing about sitting higher is access to the 2nd concourse bathrooms and stuff. the first concourse is still so crowded compared to the 2nd level one.

I will also say that a seat in the john at lambeau is better than a sideline seat at county stadium. I'm glad they gave us milwaukee ticket holders a chance to see the games in green bay

It is a special place. I've been to games at about 9 NFL venues. It's the best I've seen so far, and I just want you to know I'm not a bit biased either! :P
