Did anyone leak what the centerline/sideline/studio seats weee going for?

Received an email today essentially saying I can have a pre-meet with the sales rep before my purchase slot. Key message:

I will be conducting introductory conversations beginning this week to answer any questions you may have and providing you with additional details around investment levels, term lengths and agreement language for The Studios, West Centerline Club, and West Sideline Club.

I have this scheduled for tomorrow morning. The buying time will be the first week of July. So at least it does appear they aren't planning the full time-share buy-now-or-else tactics. That's something.

Thanks for sharing.

My rep hinted at that about a week ago when I signaled my displeasure. Fairly, it does alleviate some issues. But my mantra as an attorney is "If it isn't in writing it doesn't exist." Also, as I wrote back, "Have you never met someone who processes information best alone, in written form?" I don't want to be fed info like this on a call while I need to take notes. Rep also said they used the same process at his previous job at Charlotte FC. I told him I'm glad that worked for you.

I can't quote a quote so:
“additional details around investment levels, term lengths and agreement language . . . ”

1. Unless I can reasonably expect to end up with more money than I put in it's not an investment. I so hate that term when applied to a consumer transaction. It's manipulative in a manner that's so obvious it's insulting. Expensive =/= investment. It's the opposite.

2. "Term lengths and agreement language" strongly suggest these seating choices either must be or will have an option for a multi-year commitment. If a 1-year option is available it will probably be much more expensive. I remember this being part of the Gatsby and Tunnel etc group of clubs. I wonder how far down this multi-year feature will go. WiIl some, most, or all regular non-hospitality seats also be like this? It basically sounds like a way for the team to accomplish some of the things a Personal Seat License gives them under a method different enough that they can honestly deny they have PSLs.
