Requiring season ticket holders to pay for equity seat rights in a new stadium that has been funded in part or in full by public funds shifts more of the financial burden onto the season ticket holders and away from the general public. This is because public funds are collected from taxpayers, who may not necessarily be season ticket holders or even sports fans, whereas those who purchase season tickets for a professional sports team are typically dedicated fans who are willing to pay for their seats. Therefore, shifting the burden to the season ticket holders is a way to ensure that those who are most invested in the team and the stadium are the ones who are paying for it.
