Here’s a look at the Raiders stadium club sections. The $1.8 billion domed stadium is scheduled to open in summer 2020 for the Raiders and UNLV football team. Legends Global Sales has been enlisted by the Raiders for the personal seat license and ticket sales.
Here are the three payment options:
*If you pay the entire amount up front, you will get a five percent increase.
*A second alternative is to pay one-third of the amount up front, a second 33 percent by March 1, 2019 and the final third by March 1, 2020.
*And the final option is paying 20 percent of the amount up front, 10 percent by March 1, 2019 and 70 percent in installments.

The PSL is a one-time fee that gives a fan a license to pay for season tickets for 30 years and is essential for the Raiders to help pay for the 65,000-seat stadium.
The PSL also gives the fan a chance to buy tickets for events at the stadium before they go on sale for the general public.
