LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The A’s are surveying fans about seat prices at their new MLB stadium on the Strip, including the idea of having fans pay for personal seat licenses like they did at the NFL Raiders stadium in Las Vegas.

LVSportsBiz.com looked at the survey, which took about ten to 15 minutes to fill out.

The questions included ticket price points that ranged from as low at $27 to hundreds of dollars for special seats.

The survey even asked about whether you are buying the ticket to resell it.

That was popular with the Raiders stadium where many Las Vegas locals paid the PSL (personal seat license) and ticket prices with the goal of making a profit by reselling it on the secondary ticket market.

The A’s are building a $2 billion baseball stadium project at the former Tropicana hotel-casino site at the southeast corner of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard. Here’s a photo of the construction site Wednesday.

The 33,000-fan stadium is being built on nine of the 35 acres, with Bally’s Corp. — the owner of the former Tropicana hotel — saying it plans to build two hotel towers on the site owned by Gaming & Leisure Properties, Inc. (GLPI). The baseball stadium and development of the site is the result of a three-way deal between the A’s, Bally’s and GLPI.

The A’s have a construction cam at the site:
